Buenos Dias!!!
This week was a good week that flew by super fast! We didn't do much but we also did a lot!
This
week we prepared the girl to be baptized on the weekend. It was so
exciting and so stressful at the same time! We had to prepare everything
for the baptism and everything for the lessons and it was super
stressful... But we Did it! The girls got baptized on Saturday and
Confirmed on Sunday! The baptism was super awesome and the family was
super happy :) We are going to continue working with the whole family so
that they can progress together as a family and go to the temple :)
This
week one of my pairs of pants turned into the "Pants of a Thousand
Tears." We were teaching a lesson to A recent convert who is 11 years
old and after the lesson we invited her to share the gospel with her
friends. We gave her some cards and had her write a message on each card
to give to her friends. She messed up writing (said that it was bad
handwriting, but I was able to read it) so we gave her another one, and
she "Messed up again" so we gave her 1 more and she messed up again. We
told her that we could read them so her friends would be able to as
well. Then she put on a puppy dog face and we started laughing and
telling her that it wouldn't work. Then she started crying... we thought
she was playing at first, but then she started crying for real, I still
have no Idea why, but then she buried her head on my leg and cried for
like 5 minutes. I didn't know what to do, I mean what do you do if an 11
year old girl is crying on your leg and you don't know why and her
parents and grandparents are just looking at you??? After she finished
crying we talked some more and she was okay, but we still don't know why
she cried ha ha. But as we left I noticed my pants were wet! I had a 4
inch circle of tears next to my knee! So now the pants are called my
Pants of a thousand tears ha ha :)
Being
a District Leader is super fun and awesome, but also very time
consuming! There isn't time to do anything... Not even to use the
bathroom. A couple of times I haven't used the bathroom in like 3 days so
I got sick. After experiencing that a couple times I decided to use the
bathroom once a day no matter what. Yesterday It was almost the end of
the day and I still hadn't used the bathroom. I had to go super bad but I
still had to call my zone leaders and give them numbers and inform them
of some things. I couldn't wait and neither could they... so we had to
compromise a little bit... I had to call them in the bathroom... Can I
say Awkward, because that sure doesn't even come close to describing it.
My voice was echoing so I am pretty sure they knew I was in the
bathroom, but they didn't say anything. But In the end it worked out, I
called the zone leaders and managed to use the bathroom, I guess you can
say I am a pro at multitasking ha ha :)
Besides that not too much happened!
I love you all and hope that you all stay golden! :)
Love you tons,
Elder Nielson
