Buenos Dias!!
Thank you everyone for all the birthday wishes and birthday songs :)
This week was a good one!! We had changes, worked hard, and had some success :)
This
Wednesday we had changes. On Transfer days we get called in the
morning, then pack our bags, then go to the meeting to find out where we
are going. In the morning I had already packed my bags because I had
been in Villa Dulce for 4 changes (almost 6 months) so it was guaranteed
that I would leave. After getting the call I learned that... I wasn't
leaving Villa Dulce, I am staying here another month and a half. I had
to unpack my bags while my companion packed his bags. I was a little bit
frustrated until I received a call from the Assistants.
Assistant: Elder Nielson?
Me:Yes?
A: We have and assignment for you
Me: Yeah, Okay?
A: You are going to train so you have to be in the training meeting at 3.
M: Alright Thank you elder.
A: Chao Chao.
After the call I got super excited. Yes I am still in Villa Dulce which is a little bit frustrating but I am training!
So
I am training a new elder named Elder V. He is a Chilean who is 19
years old. He is the only member in his family which means he is super
courageous. He is a hard worker and we are going to have a lot of
success together. He is ready to learn and to work hard. He has a thick
Chilean accent and sometimes struggles to understand my accent, but I am
sure that being with him is going to help me a lot with my accent :)
This
week we also got our water heater fixed!!! No more cold showers!!
Woohoo! After 3 months of Ice cold showers we finally have hot water and
can shower in peace :)
This
week I decided that eating Oatmeal every morning for breakfast is dumb
and that I have to enjoy myself :) So this week I have made eggs, toast,
granola with apples and yogurt, pancakes, and more. It is crazy how
much better my day is and how much happier I am after eating a delicious
breakfast. Sometimes when I am having a bad day the only thing that
keeps me going is the thought of my delicious breakfast the next day ha ha
:) But I feel like quite the chef now ;)
This
week something crazy happened. We had a forest fire in our sector...
well 2 forest fires. One burned a whole hill and the other burned a
large sector of land. Luckily no houses or building were burned. There
were 3 helicopters, 2 airplanes, and 6 firetrucks dropping water on the
fires to put them out.
This
Sunday I had to give a talk in church and was super excited. I wrote my
talk and prepared scriptures, examples, and the doctrine to help the
ward participate the the missionary work. I was the last one to give my
talk and the first speaker spoke for a long time so I only had 6 minutes
to give a talk. I decided to trash my talk because I didn't have the
time to give the talk. I talked about the commandments and the blessings
that we will receive by living the commandments. There are so many
blessings to be gained by living the commandments and I hope that I
helped the members realize that a life of living the commandments will
be so much happier than living without them.
In April we are going to have 2 baptisms. P and M are going to be
baptized the 12th and I am super excited. We have worked so much to
help them come to this point so I am excited to see them progress :)
This
weekend is conference and I am super excited to see it. I know that the
Prophet is called of God to guide us in our lives and journeys. I know
that he will answer our questions and help us know what to do. I invite
you all, member of the church or not to watch conference, to listen to
the prophet and apostles of Christ, and to follow there advice.
I love you all! Stay golden! :)
Love,
Elder Nielson
