Christensen Mission Adventures: April 2013
http://christensenmissionadventures.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 21, 2013. Great Experiences in Cyprus. Today we got a new District President for Cyprus, President Mario Georgieva, our Bulgarian friend. He helped translate The Book of Mormon into Bulgarian several years ago and will be a great leader for the Church in Cyprus. He and his wife Rumi have been good friends to us. They bore wonderful testimonies of the gospel today as they spoke at the conference. Their daughters, Eva and Kali, are two of my seminary girls. What an amazing ride it has been!

Christensen Mission Adventures: August 2012
http://christensenmissionadventures.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 23, 2012. Dog Days of Cyprus Summer! Missionary life is the best! We find lots of single people to teach at this nice apartment building, but we are always searching for families to bring into the gospel and help our branch here grow. Sometimes we stop along the way to see things we have never seen before, like big banana trees growing in small fields. Or things that remind us of our pest, I mean past life. We have lots of missionary friends that meet with us to plan to baptize families.

Christensen Mission Adventures: December 2012
http://christensenmissionadventures.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 27, 2012. Christmas morning found the beloved flamingos much closer to the road. What a lovely Christmas gift! Fishers and hunters, Elders Radnoti and Matthews, who spent the day with us, were searching for prospective flamingos to teach. Frank showed up bright and early at our flat to see what Santa brought us- and to borrow our camera to take pictures to send to Cameroon. Almost all the people in our branch are alone and far, far from home and family. Sunday, December 23, 2012. The P...

Saturday, June 7, 2014. A Housewarming Party at Mark and Samantha's New Home! What a party we had today (June 7th 2014) at Mark and Samantha's new home in Collinsville Oklahoma! Sweet Samantha answered the door all ready to swim, feed us and show us a great time! Their back yard is huge and beautiful with a large pool right off the covered patio. We had fun visiting with lots of family in the shade behind the house where we could watch the kids swim or play baseball. Or maybe it was Dennis. It was a very...

Christensen Mission Adventures: October 2012
http://christensenmissionadventures.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 29, 2012. For Elder Matthew's Mother. A few days after your son, Elder Matthews, arrived in Larnaca he turned 20 and was no longer a teen! We celebrated at District Mtg. Can you spot him in this long line up with Elder Christensen at the head? I suggested that he might react to the stuffed lion for the picture, and this is what I got. There is something angelic in his eyes. Even more than what a mother can see. Someone taught him well. To work in the kitchen willingly,. To be obedient,.

Sunday, November 18, 2012. Sweet Maria is one we have been working with for several months. She has been through a few sets of elders and some fun branch activities. Maria is well loved by all that get to know her gentle heart and kind ways. On the way to Maria's baptism in the sea in our car with Josie and Anna Maria. The Mediterranean was much wilder than usual today, and. Thankfully those good elders were hanging on to her! She made it out safely, and is pictured here with Branch sisters. Perfect timi...

Christensen Mission Adventures: March 2013
http://christensenmissionadventures.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 29, 2013. I almost stepped on this little guy as we were on our walk this morning. I was a little frightened to hold him, but I thought the grand kids would be so proud of me. On Preparation Day we went bowling with our zone and celebrated Elder Clack's birthday! The Branch had a party for him at our flat that night! Nine investigators came with twenty of the members. It was a full house! Our district before the transfers this coming week. Elder Neville is leaving us soon to serve in Athens.

Sunday, September 16, 2012. Baptism, Birthday and Good-Bye! This very morning Elder Christensen was able to baptize another one of our wonderful investigators, Josie, as Elder Wilderspin and Norgaard witness. It has been an amazing Sabbath with our chapel overflowing with members and non-members. The rocks were a little sharp, but the Mediterranean Sea was the perfect temperature. Josephine is so happy to finally be a member of Jesus Christ's true Church. We need to start that traditions. JoAn has been h...
