Buenos Dias!
This week was a good week, not tons of work, but lots of memorable moments!
This
week the drama in the district was still going on and escalated to the
point where the assistants to the mission president had to get involved.
It was kinda rough because they basically told me that they didn't know
what to do to fix it and that I had to do it, but that I had their
support ha ha. That's basically how the leadership in the mission works
"We don't know what to do, but we support you and call us to let us know
how it goes" That is kinda frustrating but it has given me lots of
opportunities to grow. Anyways I decided to do an interchange with an
elder to try and improve the relationship I have with him in order to
start fixing the situation. I was praying to have an opportunity to
serve him. After a day of work and a good nights sleep I woke up and
made him breakfast and was hoping that he would be grateful for the
service but he came out and told me that he wasn't going to eat because
he didn't feel the best. I was thinking "Fetch, what service can I do
that he will accept??" but I just went with it. After a little bit he
was feeling even more sick so I sent him to the bed to rest. After 5
minutes of talking to him in bed and giving him a blessing he got up and
threw up all over the floor a couple times in different spots. That is
when I had my opportunity to serve. While he rested in bed I cleaned up
all the dirty nasty from off the floor. It was pretty gross, but I feel
like he felt my love. The situation is getting better and I hope it
keeps going that way. But God answers prayers, I asked for an
opportunity to serve and he gave it to me. Remember he will always
answer your prayers, maybe not in the way you want, but he will always
answer.
This
week we found some new investigators. One was a reference and she seems
pretty good. She is 24 and is interested in the religion but doesn't
like the commandments because they are rules and don't make sense (like
not drinking tea). But we will see how it goes. I am pretty sure that we
can help her understand. This week we also found a young couple who
have a young girl who is 2 years old. The wife is looking for a religion
where she feels the spirit and can get closer to God, and her husband
wants to follow God but had a bad experience in the evangelic church. I
think they are really good and understand the importance of the Book of
Mormon. We will see how it goes this week :)
This
week we celebrated the birthday of one of the sister missionaries in
our ward. Hna N (turned 21 and we had a great party. We
ate pizza and cupcakes and had some good laughs :) It was nice to relax a
little and get to know the Sisters a little better with the members. I
have some pictures that I will send :)
This week I learned that I am a poop head... And it wasn't pleasant.
Picture
this... An attractive young man is walking somewhere in his suit,
because he is running a little late to something important. While he is
walking his friend, who is also in a suit is talking to him and says "
You are so buff and strong and attractive, every girl wants to marry
you." The young man laughs to act humble but really knows it is true.
Then suddenly a bunch of attractive girls surround him and start kissing
him and telling him that he is the best. Well this week I was that
attractive young man in a suit... Except after that part of the
story... the story is fake. I was walking in my suit on the way to
church when my companion says "Bro you got a booger on your face. I
don't believe him but wipe my face anyway. He said "No its on your
forehead" So I wipe and there is something there. We smell it and... it
was bird crap. On the way to church a bird crapped on my face! It was
nasty and I didn't even feel it! Normally it falls on your head or on
your suit, but it fell on my face! Luckily I had some tissues and hand
sanitizer so I was able to clean it off before walking into church. But
yeah I learned that I was a poop head ;) Definitely a journal moment
ha ha.
That was basically my Week! I hope that you all are awesome and that you guys just love life.
I love you all! Stay Golden!
Love,
Elder Nielson :)
