18 September 2017


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
