Hello family and friends!! This week has been HOT but really great!! I can´t believe that you guys have SNOW there. So lucky!! Here I am with sweat dripping as we speak!! Haha. My comp and I have been doing great here in El Conquistador. We´ve had a ton too do lately as well. We have been visiting a bunch of members who are like all inactive.. I don´t get it... They are ALL inactive and they ALL say that they are unhappy and that they need to return to the church.. Then they don´t do ANYTHING. They take NO steps. They all say as well that it is hard to return once you´ve left it.... You guys!! DON¨T GET OFFENDED IN THE CHAPEL PLEASE. I´m so sick of that sorry excuse for a weak testimony. Ohhh but so and so didn´t say hi to me and I got offended.... Uhhh.... really???


We learn so much in the chapel. The sacrament is one of the most incredible things that we have the oportunity to take every Sunday. We are CLEAN and we are PROMISED the holy ghost at the end of the prayer.... As a missionary its obvious that I want the spirit with me all that I can so that I can be a better instrument in the hands of our Heavenly Father.. Somehow people forget that........ no... I´m too tired this week to go.... Or no... I would rather go to the movies... How hard is it to go to church? Los principios del evangelio son sencillos y VALEN LA PENA . The principles of the gospel are simple and they are WORTH IT. There is a REASON why we do these things!! Reading the Book of Mormon is another one... The book is FULL OF POWER!!! It doesn´t matter if we read about the zoramites and we don´t understand a word of whats going on.. We have that extra power for just having READ the book during the day. Our president told us that if someone with a baptismal date can read EVERY SINGLE DAY even just 5 verses that their baptism WILL NOT FALL THROUGH. My goal is to visit our candidates and read EVERY DAY with them to take ahold of this promise. I love each and every one of you so much. I know that life is FULL of challenges and trials that we don´t always know how to overcome. In the movie together forever, this teenager says... I don´t know the answers, but I know where to find them. The gospel is AMAZING. We follow the principles... WE ARE BLESSED!! SO SIMPLE!! However sometimes the world wins. Sometimes we would rather watch a movie or go out with our friends....But I promise you that if you can do the things recommended by the prophet as well as take hold of all these principles, you will see the difference in your testimony as I have in mine. I love you all so much and hope that you have a great week wherever you are. ITS TRUE. Ciao. Elder Christensen
