We Have to Help more People Come to Christ!

Hey everyone. First I would like to shout out to Utah for whipping BYU. Put a big smile on my face here even across the world :) Also Reggie Bush is playing for the Dolphins? What happened there? Any other trades/transactions like that that I should have known about six months ago haha? This week has been a weird/okay week. First of all, my tooth started hurting again and when it hurts it gives me intense almost migrainal pain in my head so I talked to the dentist and he said to come to his shop. The only problem is that Roxas is 3+ hours from his shop, so Elder Collins, Elder Adams, Elder Price and I came down to Iloilo for my dentist and they also had some training to go to since they are Zone Leaders and Elder Price is District Leader. So while they did that I worked three days in an area called Arevalo which is in Iloilo City. I worked with two elders named Elder Ball and Wilson, both of which entered the MTC with me on the same day and traveled here together. It was fun and they have a great area. We then went home to Roxas on Friday night and worked as much as we could. Then on Saturday, President Pagaduan came up to do a baptismal interview with a candidate of ours that has some serious sins in the past so he had to talk to President. He will be baptized October 1. He is 22 and a great guy. I am glad that you are having a good time at home and everyone is staying busy. We have been so busy here it’s nuts. I feel like I look at a calendar and its September 1 then the next day it’s September 15. It’s crazy here. I am loving my new companion. We get along great and both have the same desire and vision of our area. This week we will work harder than ever. We have to help more people come to Christ! I got a letter for my birthday from Grandma Hirschi, so please tell her thanks and I love her. I also got letters from the Ogilvie family and Brother & Sister Christian. I'll write them back. Next time you see them, tell Bill Sherwin and Jaime Nyberg hello back for me. I am loving the work and stoked to be where I am right now. Thank you to all of you for all you do and your sacrifices for me. I have been given much. I love you all! Elder Garrett Christensen
