Hello Everyone
So we had a really rough week to be 100% honest. We didn’t have very
good days but we had a baptism here, which is really good for us now. We
baptized this one guy who is 61 years old and he cant walk very well. He
doesn’t have any family here because they all live in the USA. He doesn’t have
money, he lives under a table. And sleeps on the floor. So I just want everyone
to think that yeah times might be hard but nothing like this guy. He doesn’t
eat somedays. We have now gotten the ward to help him out with food. We are
hoping that we can do more for him soon! This guy though is really awesome. On
Saturday we went to go and see him and get him ready for the baptism. When we
went to talk to him and ask if he was all ready he turned and looked and said,
oh yeah its Saturday today. So we had a good laugh but then we got everything
ready to help him. It was a good baptism we had a good number of people there
as well.
So this week our district we were going to have 5 baptisms. We had
one, the other elders were going to have 2, and the sisters as well were going
to have 2. But the sisters fell super fast. I went to do an interview for one
and when she showed up she didn’t want to get baptized. So I was able to sit
down with here and talk to see what happened. And to be honest it was a really
good little lesson that we had. I then did the interview and she said she
wanted to get baptized. So everything got better. Then I called the sisters on
Saturday and she said she didn’t want to get baptized... This really sucked to
be honest because I did the interview, she passed, and she picked me to baptize
her. Everything was great. But then she called the sisters and told them that
she didn’t want to get baptized anymore. This really kind of sucked for me because
I had a really good lesson with her and she said she wanted to get baptized. I
felt sad I wouldn’t lie but remember people have the right to make up there own
mind. Hopefully the new missionary’s will be able to help her and her family.
So we had a multi zone conference this week with a member of the 70.
He is from chili and he would use some words from chili. My comp really enjoyed
the conference because it made him feel at home for a bit hahah so during this
conference President Shumway told us he sent 5 missionary’s home. This was
pretty big for all of us. He told us that he would always love us and all that
but if we are disobedient he would send us home without a question asked. We it
was a pretty big thing that cut all of our heads off. The funny thing about
President Shumway is he always wants this to be good. For example he cut all of
our heads off and then he said I don’t want to end on a note like that. So lets
watch this video to lighten the mood haha. It’s really good to see that he has
rules and he wants us to be obedient. And he can cut our heads off. But he
still wants us to feel his love. Another thing about this conference. I told
our district to wear suits. I wanted us to look more good well look better then
we already do haha. But anyways I talked
to the ZLs and they said no we aren’t going to wear them its going to be to
hot. At first I was like we are going to be inside all day. And they thought no
one else would wear a suit. But guess what, everyone had a suit on. Every zone
with elders. So I walked over to the Zls. and said, I told you so. What did I
say_ hahah its good because the one zone leader is a good friend of mine. And
he was like I know i know I messed up haha.
So we had a services project here this last week. We helped the
bishop move giant bags of metal down a bunch of stairs to his house. And these
bags were fechen heavy. We moved like 40 of these bags. We carried them on our
backs as well and man does my body-hurt hahah I was walking the other day and
my mind was like hey lets get going. And my body was like hold on a second we
need to rest. I have 11 months here in the mission and my body is already
falling apart hahaha
So we have changes here in the zone. And another buddy of mine is
coming to be a zone leader. The whole zone had changes. The only people that
didn’t was the elder who is training right now. My comp is leaving and I am
going to be getting a missionary that is from Idaho. I get comps from Idaho or
South America always. It should be fun though because we have a lot of people
that speak English here in our district.
Well that’s all for this week! Thanks for all you guys do for me. As
well all the love and support!
Elder Nelson
