HELLO ALL!!!!
Whew. How is it Monday again? I'm starting week three in the field.
That means that my time in Frisco is almost half way up! WEIRD.
So much has happened this week but it's tough to condense and report it all so I'll bullet point it:
-Frisco has a reputation for being a difficult area because it's
wealthy, lots of southern baptists, lots of anti-mormon stuff, nobody
home cause they all work, etc. But it's been an incredible experience
being here. I'm learning how to work with the ward members to get to
know them and see to their concerns. I love it here so much. It's
amazing.
-All the people we've taught and got to know all belonged to either
a different mission entirely or a different ward. We have to stick to
teaching the people who go to the Frisco YSA Branch and the Frisco 3rd
ward because of lots of reasons but the most success we've had with
having good discussions with people and teaching lessons haven't even
gone to our ward. It's both amazing and really frustrating at times. ha
ha ha.
-No heat exhaustion this week!
-Went on a day exchange to Plano. Because Elder Seager is a
district leader (meaning he is responsible for all the missionaries in a
geographic area), he goes out visiting with different companionships
and I either tag along or am placed with another missionary for a period
of time (no longer than 24 hours). This happened last week, and I was
in Plano. Boy howdy the people of Plano are crazy. There were FAR more
people willing to talk to me though so that was nice. But this guy had
us at his door for about 10 minutes describing in depth how Ross Perot
got the EDS people out of Iran in the 70's. He kept saying over and
over, "Ross Perot is a demi-god". Then he thanked us and we walked off
dazed.
-I almost ingested some bird shot in a piece of duck an
investigator (that's the term we use for someone who is investigating
the church) gave me. TEXAS.
-Marni, Amelia, and Thomas Campbell: Do you remember an elder who
served in Seattle 3rd back between 2006 and 2008 or so named Elder
Abegg? He came to one of our wards on Sunday and we talked about you
all. He remembers you!
-I finally have to concede the nearest and dearest point of my
heart: butter tastes better than margarine. The truth is out. There.

I love you all! No more time, but I'm sending pictures. I love you I
love you I love you!!! This week has been amazing. Know that I'm
praying for y'all.
As the texans say, "'Preciate ya!"
Love love love,
Elder Christman
