Hey there everyone!
So this week was pretty good. We got to work with the zls, which was
really good. I was able to work with one zone leader who I haven’t been able to
work with before. Its not because we don’t get along haha it’s because we just
never decided to do divisions together. But it was really cool because we had a
bunch of kids that helped us that day. We had 4 kids working with us finding
people. These kids are crazy though. They are really good during lessons and
all that but when we are walking in the street they are always joking around. But
it’s all good. So during these divisions we got a call from my area. And the
one zone leader told me that he was drinking a root beer that a member gave
him. And he was bugging me and everything else so I was like okay I’m going to
get him back. So the next day when we woke up we played a prank on him. So I
stood his bed up and put his closet behind his bed. Then I took his bags and
put them all over everything. Then I went and put his desk in front of his bed.
And then I put a rope around it all. I would like to thank Elder Stephan for
doing this prank to our zone leader back when we were comps haha But anyways I
told the zl to call me when he seen it. So he called and he said I only have 3
words to say to you. I Hate You. I laughed so hard as well his comp was
laughing really hard as well. I’ll send a photo if he sends me the photo.
Speaking about root beer. A member gave us some the other day. He
told us on Sunday that he would go out and buy some for us. And let me tell you
it was soooo good to tasted root beer again. We took a video and ill try and
send it out to you guys if it works.
So we are working with this one kid who has been listening to the
elders for a long time. His mom has been a member for about 2 years now. So she
wants us to teach him and help him. But here’s the thing. We aren’t aloud to
put a date for a baptism with him. She doesn’t want us to pressure him and all
that. But it was really weird because she said that the elders before really pressured
her to be baptized and she said that she doesn’t regret it. So I was really
confused. Why couldn’t we do the same with her so. If she
needed to get pressured a little bit wouldn’t her son as well? I don’t
know. But anyways we had a lesson with them yesterday and it was about the
family. We are really focusing on temples and families to help them get that
goal of being with your family forever. We talked about how moms are here to
help us with a lot of things. It was really good to talk with them about that
because he can see the things that his mom does for him. We then shared a story
about the 2000 stripling warriors and how the listen to the things that there
moms had taught them. And none of them died. I think that was a good one to
share with him. Hopefully he can understand the importance of being in a family
forever. Simon would have a great story to be honest. He could get baptized,
then he could get the priesthood, then he could go to the temple for his dad, and
then they could get sealed as a family. We really hope he could be baptized
soon.
So a really weird thing happened here the other day. So they had parade
with this one church. And it was really really weird because they carried this
big thing and had a band behind them playing music. I asked my comp if it would
be wrong to take a photo and he told me yes it would be. So I wish I had a
photo to send to you guys but we didn’t take any haha.
So this week I think is going to be super crazy. I we have
interviews and divisions so it should be interesting. But I’ll do the best I
can to write you all something fun. Hope you all have a good week and that
things go great! Love you all.
Elder Nelson
