It is really hot here in Texas. Really. Hot. And no
one believes in air conditioning. I have never been so sweaty in my
entire life. My mission has turned me into a better person spiritually
but physically.. I am just always kinda nappy. Its whatever! We had
another great week in good ole Conroe. I have learned that each area has
different struggles and strengths. One of the biggest struggles in this
area is getting people to read the Book of Mormon. For the first time
in my life I have had people tell me they won't read the Book of Mormon
because they don't want to or because it doesn't interest them. It makes
me so sad. We are trying really hard to get them to understand that the
Book of Mormon is so key to their conversion. If they do not read the
Book of Mormon, they are not going to understand the fullness of the
gospel. And if they don't understand the gospel, they are not going to
be able to make covenants and qualify for eternal life!!! READ THE BOOK
OF MORMON PEOPLE!!!!!!! Just a voice of warning to anyone who does not
read from the Book of Mormon every single day.. I have seen that the
biggest reason for people becoming less active is failure to read from
the sacred pages of the Book of Mormon. Testimonies slip when they are
not consistently being fed from the scriptures. We are promised that as
we read from the Book of Mormon every single day, we will receive the
strength to endure in our trials and afflictions. Everybody read the
Book of Mormon!!!!!!
We taught a bunch of
lessons this week! We have done a good job at talking to everyone and
teaching as we find. We were able to find 12 new investigators this
week! I love this area and the people so much! We also had Zone Meeting
this week. I love Zone Meetings! They are always so spiritually
uplifting! We were told that the Texas Houston Mission is the top
mission in the South West right now as far as baptisms and retaining
members and finding. It is so fun to be involved with such a great work
in such a great place!
Fun fact, one of the
members lives on an old Boy Scout camp and it is filled with Alligators.
Honestly, I had no idea gators lived in Texas.. But I guess they do!
There are also a bunch of wild hogs and armadillos everywhere. It is
like I live in a little zoo! Haha!
Well I hope you all have a wonderful week! I love ya! Keep smiling and serving everyone around you!
Love,
Hermana Christensen
