I got lucky this morning and printed letters off so I
can respond to you guys today! I just want to start off by telling each one of
you how much I love you and how blessed I feel to have the most amazing family
in the entire world. You are all incredible!
Thank you for sending the great Mormon Message. I got
a glimpse of it earlier this week when I was looking up a ward directory in
Loncoche. It is so cool that on my lds account I have directories for all the
wards in my mission, as well as my home ward. The Church is pretty incredible.
I am stoked that mom found it in Spanish because we can download it to a pin
drive and then often we can plug the pin drive directly into the TV and share a
Mormon message or video about Christ right there in someone’s home
quickly.

I am so grateful for our Savior as well and this
opportunity I have to come to know Him. This week I decided that this is going
to be my new focus. I am grateful that He loves us and that He is patient with
me. I often feel frustrated with myself about all the little slip-ups I make.
Satan wants to tear us down, but when we understand that Christ wants us to be
happy, and to have joy and peace, and that the adversary wants us to be
miserable, we can put off the adversary. I love 2 Nephi 2 in the Book of
Mormon, because it talks a lot about this contrast. I know that we find peace
when we turn to Christ and I love Him and want to know Him better. I love
studying about Him every day. It is so important to set aside time to study the
scriptures every day because it bring us closer to Him. I have very few regrets
from before my mission, but one of them is that I didn´t set a good 30 minutes
aside every day when I was awake and attentive to study the scriptures and
Preach My Gospel. Take the time, it is more that worth it. A great talk that I
love by Neil A. Maxwell is “In Him All Things Hold Together” (In Him All Things Hold Together, BYU Speeches). Will you all
listen to it?
I love each of you tons!
Elder Christensen!
