Sorry this email is so late, it will also be fairly short. We had a zone activity today and played a lot of basketball and chair soccer. Glad you guys got my package, sorry it was so late!Sounds like everyone is staying busy! Thanks a bunch for the valentines package! :)) we got it the night before valentines day so
we enjoyed ourselves.
So this week I learned a lot about how to work hard, but also smart. There are some good things we can do to take up our time, like driving around and trying to find people home, but there are better things, and even best things we can do. Being effective is pretty important. We took a couple hours one afternoon and began coding out our area, and we called probably 50 people and set up loads of appointments. When we could have spent that time driving around and potentially talked to 3 or 4 people and not taught anything. So that is what Elder Westlund taught me on our Zone Leader exchange this last week. Oh yea! Elder Westlund is from Medford and was friends with Jordan Bowers up at BYU-I! Small world. :D
\We had an awesome zone conference this last week. I ended up helping with a musical number last minute that I got to run through once before, haha. Typical. I was grateful for your sight reading skill mom. Thought you might like hearing about that.
We got to go to the Gilbert Arizona Temple open house with M. J.! It was so awesome! We had tickets and everything set up with the Moore family to drive us all down there, and the night before she called us and canceled. We were pretty bummed, but decided to go over and visit her. We still don't know why, but with the help of the Moore family, and the Spirit, after our visit she decided she would come with her daughter. It is a sweet temple, and I really think she felt the Spirit there. We are praying to have a baptismal date for her this next week.
We had a great lesson with the T.J. family! and the feeling was so much different this time, all the kids came and listened and participated as we talked about the armor of God, Ephesians 6:10-17. We had to twist it and compare it to football, but hey it worked!Well I am glad to hear all is going well! I love you all and know that the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ is true! I am thankful to your support, you love, your mail, your prayers, and your birthday wishes!
:) Have a fantastic week!
Elder Collin Christensen
