Week 105: Fin!

Well, here we are at the end of the road! How crazy is that? I will be
home in almost 72 hours!

Super randomly this Sunday I had to get up and speak in church. There
were 3 speakers and they all went way under time so I was called on to
give a talk right there on the spot. The funny thing about it was I
had a thought the other day that went something along the lines of
this: "Wow I've gone my whole mission without getting randomly called
up to give a talk in sacrament meeting!" And then boom, my very last
Sunday it happened.

I'm excited to go home and continue to talk to y'all via other forms
of communication, so hit me up on social media.

I'm super excited to go home to Canada. The humidity is getting worse
and worse every day, but I'll also be a little sad, I think. The place
that's been my home for the last 2 years is going to turn into a
memory soon, kind of sad! I am glad that I dedicated these last 2
years to serving a mission though. I've learned so much and grown so
much in the process; it's crazy! See Y'all!

See you on the other side.



Love
Elder Christensen

Week 104: MIA

No contact

Week 103: Drawing Closer

As I approach my last 2 weeks in the field I can't help but notice how
slow it's going. It seems like any sort of free time I have is spent
thinking about what I'm going to do back home. It kind of sucks,
honestly. It feels so weird knowing the life I've known for 2 years is
just going to end abruptly and I will thrust back into the real world.
I'm excited though.



Anyways, we have this raccoon that breaks into our garbage every single
night at like 2 AM, and we have tried everything. We found a whole
bunch of old bricks and bungee corded our garbage can to a wooden beam
and he still managed to knock it over. Our most recent idea was to
poor bleach all over our garbage area and hopefully that will get him.
Does anyone know how to get rid of pesky raccoons?

Love,
Elder Christensen

Week 102: Pyramid

I attached some pictures!!! First picture is our district after
balling it up at a Baptist church. Second picture is me wearing cat
ear headphones.





So more on the Baptist church thing. We were invited to attend a
Baptist church in the area by one of the deacons. He apparently told
us the wrong time because we went and there was nobody there, save a
few cars that looked like were people in meetings. Anyways, we had our
whole district there and it was getting closer to the end of the
night, so instead of just driving home and calling it a night, we
found a basketball hoop they had set up and grabbed a basketball from
the car and played some 3 on 3 in our missionary clothes. We got a lot
of weird looks from the few people leaving the building. Afterwards we
took a human pyramid pic with a dope background.

Anyways, I go home in like 3 weeks.

Love y'all!
