New Area - Roxas City / New Comp Elder Price

Hello everyone This is Elder Christensen from my new area, Roxas City! It has been wierd for me adjusting to the city environment but I like it a lot. There is better food too :) My new companion is Elder Price from Riverton, Utah and is a stud. I am way happy to work with him. He is very obedient and hard working. We will get along awesome. We had six investigators at church yesterday and church was great. I am in Roxas 2nd ward. There are four wards here in Roxas City. We should have at least a couple baptisms coming up soon so we are excited. This is supposedly the "seafood capital of the Philippines" so maybe I will get some good food? Even though I hate fish, maybe crab and shrimp :) My roommates are the Roxas zone leaders and I like them a lot too. Great missionaries. Elder Adams from Murray, Utah and Elder Collins from California. Your pictures look like you had a ton of fun at Lake Powell and sounds like everyone is doing great! I am also happy to hear Dixie beat Pine View. That is always good to hear. This week I got your package. Thank you very much for everything! Also the Dixie Elder is always good to get. I am proud of Britt for doing soccer and tell Breck happy birthday! I can't believe it is time for the rodeo again! Breck, Mace, Britt and I went to it last year and it was way fun. Regarding the tooth, I believe I will only have to go back one more time and he said the cap thing will cost 6,500 pesos, or like 100+ dollars which is a lot cheaper than America so I guess that's good. But I feel fine and am happy here in Roxas. I love you all! Elder Garrett Christensen Hey pops. Things here are going great and loving the work here in Roxas City, Capiz. That is too bad that Utah got beat. Thats no good. That is crazy BYU played Texas though! Thats cool. Where was it? Has NFL started yet or no? I hope it gets cooler for you so you can get out in the hills. That might be one of the things I miss the most. Just time out in the mountains. Now I am in the city so I dont even see a mountain haha. Our apartment is ok, too. I saw a huge rat the other day during a lesson. There are lots here I have heard. We also have a lady that lives on a busy street corner and has lived there for 13 years. She doesn't leave the corner. Her hair is in gnarly dreads and she has worn the same clothes for years. It's crazy but things are good. Thanks for being a great dad and for the oil in the package. I love you tons and miss you more! Alright I am off! We are going to play basketball with the zone and I am about to ball them all up! Love you all! Elder Gary....p.s. now I have to learn Ilonggo haha I hate the languages in this country! Your son, Elder Christensen Hey britt how are things going with you? I hope all is well and you are having a good time with school and sports. Are there a lot of handsome bachelors in your sixth grade class? :) haha jk jk. I am very proud of you for doing soccer and being a good girl for mom and dad. I love you tons! Bye! Elder Garrett
