Week 58: Hotdog Man & Turkey Bacon

Well, this past week was pretty cool, I guess. Transfer call was today
and I found out that Elder Constantino will be in my district again!
Exciting news! I am not being transferred, since I need to complete
Elder Thwaits' training.

We had a pretty cool zone meeting, we took pictures, since this was
the last time the district would be altogether before transfers.
Notice how well coordinated the picture is?

We met a pretty cool young family this week. Actually Elder Thwaits and Elder Dewsnup met him last week on an exchange. They forgot his name so he was referred to as "hotdog man". I guess he was eating hotdogs when they met him. Anyways, Elder Thwaits and I went back and had a super strong lesson with him and his wife! After we finished, his wife said, "do you want to hear something really weird?" Of course I want to hear weird stuff. Apparently she had been talking with her best friend from high school about an hour before we arrived. Her husband never told her we were coming, because he forgot we were coming. She had been thinking about which church to raise her kids in, and her friend magically decided to talk to her about our church, and then to top it off we knock on their door and had a super cool experience. She was in tears while she was telling us all this. Experiences like these make missionary work worth it. To see God's hand in all things is great.

On a side note, we found a place that we can buy expired groceries for super cheap. I can buy 3 lbs of turkey bacon for $2.00. I haven't been sick yet, so I guess it's all good in the hood.

This is about as long as I can bear to type on an iPad, so I'm going to stop right about here.

Love y'all
Elder Christensen
