This week was pretty good. Last Sunday was pretty fun, me
and elder Norman went to choir and that was fun and then we sang in the MTC
devotional on Tuesday (like a meeting where a someone comes and talks to us
about something spiritual basically). Elder Rasband came and that was super
cool cuz apostles (some of the leaders of our church) don't usually come
that often and we we're lucky especially since we're only here for like 3
weeks.
We got our itinerary for when we leave and we leave on the
4th of June and go from Salt Lake to San Fran (7 hour layover there) and then
go to new zeland and then to adelaide so thats pretty hype. The travel time is
over 24 hours and we don't get there till the 6th cuz we cross over the time
zone and such.
Me and elder Norman are teaching 3 "investigators"
(2 of them being our teachers) but the third guy is like a convert to the
church who acts like an investigator of the church and we teach him. Our first
lesson was like super duper absolutely no good very bad horrible (perhaps I
should go to australia) with him but on lesson two we got him to open up about
his family and then the last 2 lessons went super well, "we committed him
to baptism" by the third lesson so seems legit. God is good ;)
Me and elder Norman and the whole district are getting along
super well now so that's awesome, elder Norman is hilarious and I hope sometime
during the mission we can be companions again. Life is good tho, like we don't
have a ton of common interests but we get along really well so that's good cuz
it makes life a ton easier here if you have a friend(s).
Okay so story time for this week. This morning we we're
going to the temple (basically where we make promises to god and do work for
the dead and stuff) and so I get out of bed workout real quick and then hop in
the shower right. So I get out put on my towel and go over to get back in the
room and elder Norman is like so ummm we have a problem. So our doors to our
rooms automatically lock and one of our roomates closed it while we were all in
the bathroom so we couldnt get back in so we had to call the front and elder
Kunzler had to go get the key and we barely made it to the temple on time so
that was fun especially since we got up early so we would have time to get
there early wahoooooooooo...Also the 3 other elders in my room are actually
like getting junk food everyday and we have like this pile of terrible food on
our desk and I think just being in the same room as it is going to make me gain
weight (send help). Aside from that not a whole lot has been happening just
class and everything like that. Next week we get to be the people that guide
the new missionaries in so that'll be fun (not for them, that first day is
actually a small century long) but yeah so it goes. I hope all of y'all are
doing wonderful. Thanks for all the prayers and emails...if you emailed me I'll
respond in a tad, we're doing laundry and me and elder norman have to plan a
lesson for tomorrow for church. I love you guys so much and miss you all. You
guys mean so much to me and every time I see an email during the week I get so
happy :)
God is Good
Elder Nelson
