Hey there everyone!
So this week was really weird to be honest. We had some really slow
days here but then we had some really crazy days as well. So Ill start with the
day I worked with the new elder from my district. So the kid is kind of shy
when we started but knowing me and how I talk a lot I can find away to get
people to talk. The best way I have found that works is the to find something
that they like or stuff about them. So we started talking and I found out that
the kid loves basketball. He talked the whole day about all the trades that
happened. It was good that we were able to talk a bunch and he started to open
up and not be a shy anymore. Which was really good. The kid is really good
though. Nice kid from Utah.
So we had the Guatemala day here last weekend and man it was crazy
haha I’m not going to tell you all what happened but it was a pretty crazy
weekend I’d say. But we had a pretty good day. We were able to find a lot of
new people. We found this one guy named Carlos. He is 87 years old and wants to
change his life and be a example for his kids and grandkids. So we went by
yesterday to get him to come to church and he felt really good but the funny
part now. He said he didn’t want to go to church because he didn’t have a shirt
or tie so my comp gave him one. When we went to get him on Sunday we gave him
the shirt and tie and he was really excited but then he goes in to get changed
and comes out with the same cloths on. And we were like what gives man. He
told us that he wants to wait for next week to wear it. Well we can’t get mad
at him because he did go to church.
So I want to share a story with you all really fast. If you don’t
want to be scared please stop reading... Well anyways one night we were walking
to go visit a member and we had two ways to go down a really dark path or take
the long way around. And knowing us elders we wanted to get there as fast as we
could so went down the path. But as soon as we stepped foot down that path I
had a feeling that we should turn around and go the long way. Why did I get the
feeling who knows. So long story short we found out someone was shot four times
that night. We were both very surprised and grateful that we got the feeling to
go the other way.
So we went to a place that was really cool. We went to this place in
called old Mexico in English and man was it cool hahaha it was really neat I’ll
be sure to send some photos and show you all. But we planned everything out so
well to get there but coming home was a little bit harder haha we waited probably
30 for a bus and it never showed up. So we all got down and prayed and about 10
minutes after a member drove passed so we hoped into his car and got a ride
home
That is pretty much our week ill write more this coming week and
hopefully all goes well for you all back home!!
Love ya,
Elder Nelson
