Buenos Dias a Todos!
This
week was an interesting week for sure! Definitely had some first
experiences in the mission and had a lot of stereotypical experiences as
well.
This week we were working a lot with the nephew of
our recent convert "K" and with the sister of "K". The little boy
wants to be baptized but needs more support from his mom. His mom has
been listening as well and has been understanding but her testimony of
the gospel is super duper itty bitty. She has to make changes in her
life and I think the idea of those changes scares her. He was going to
be baptized on the 26th of June but his mom didn't take him to church
like she said she was going to so we are going to have to verify if she
is really willing to support him with actions or just with words.
The
Family Home Evening last week went really well and was super fun. This
week we had to cancel it because some elders had to go to visa and legal
work so that they can stay in Chile. But tomorrow we will be getting
the shirts and we will have them for the next FHE.
Well my
exercises with my protein powder is going well... except for the fact
that I don't have weights. A recent convert was going to give me his
weights this week but we had scheduling issues and he didn't have time to
have a lesson this week so I will have to wait until this Thursday. But
I have been rocking the push up game (I hit 75 without stopping) so
that has been pretty good but I am super stoked for the weights to get
swole again :)
This week we had a crazy experience. Two
nights ago at 4 in the morning I woke up to my companion yelling out the
window! I thought he was sleep walking and dreaming (Because he has
talked in his sleep before) but it turns out I was wrong. He had woken
up and heard someone walking along the side of the house. While he
listened the light that we have on the side of the house (that is a
motion sensitive light) turned on and he looked out the window. A guy
had been creeping along the side of the house with a bottle and when the
light turned on it scared him and he ran away. The direction that he
was going looked like he was going towards our balcony to break into the
house through the window that doesn't have a metal fence over it. While
the guy ran away my companion yelled out the window at him to let him
know that we had seen him and that we knew he was trying to break it.
Luckily nothing happened but it has been kind of nerve wracking sleeping
at night. After that we slept with the lights on and the next day put
everything important in the bedroom and locked the bedroom.
But
all in all we are good! This next week will be a good one and we are
going to work super hard to find new investigators to teach and to help.
I love you all!
Stay Golden!
Love,
Elder Nielson
