So yeah. I'm filled with different emotions and I still don't really know how to take it all in that I'm going home in a week. I just try not to think about it to be honest.
This week we're reallyy going to focus on finding and getting new investigators because we lost a lot and a lot just don't want to progress really so we went through the area book to find people and found quite a few names that we're going to find this week. In any case, T - our investigator, is doing really well. He told us that he had a afeeling that he needs to just stop asking so many questions and read the Book of Mormon already. We were really happy and impressed with his motivation to follow that prompting. He's a great guy and I'll really miss him a lot. But I still have one more week and I ain't finished yet;).
I don't have too much to say other than THANK YOU!
I'd like to thank everyone who helped me out during this 2 year period that I had to serve the Lord here in Tahiti. I've learned so much about the Gospel, the Saviour and really just about the mercy that God has for each and every one of us. I know that he loves us and that he'll never abandon us.
I'd like to leave you all with one of my favorite scriptures that helped me out before I left for the mission. it's in Alma 42:31
31 And now, O my son, ye are called of God to preach the word unto this people. And now, my son, go thy way, declare the word with truth and soberness, that thou mayest bring souls unto repentance, that the great plan of mercy may have claim upon them. And may God grant unto you even according to my words. Amen.
I know that God has a plan of mercy and of love for all of his children. He'll always have his arms outstrechted to welcome us, but its on us to show our love and faith. If we do so, we will find the peace in this life that we need and we will inherit God's kingdom after this life.
I love you all!
Elder Christensen
