Hey Mom,
I'm doing better this week. The first 2 days of this last week were the most inspired of all. I really felt the spirit and know that everything will be okay with the language, investigators and my companions. My package did come, but I thought of some more stuff I need. I'll get to that later. I go to the temple after breakfast. My days are pretty much non-changing. I wake up, eat, study, eat, study, exercise, eat, study and teach, then go back to bed. It's the same everyday. Ask Emma. I bet she could still tell you. But sometimes we have exercise after dinner, which sucks. And we have service every Friday in the morning. This week is also kinda sad. I don't have a picture, but an elder in my district is a solo missionary, cause he needed surgery to remove lymph nodes. He's leaving this week. It's kinda sad. He is an awesome missionary. He's from Canada and his brother just got back from the Philippines. Ask Emma if she knew an Elder Martel. I'll get pictures to you next week. I have actually taken more pictures than I thought I would have.
I'm glad that Dad has gotten stuff done, that Andrew and Emma are happy and doing well, and Esther is still being her bossy self haha. I love and miss you all. This email; won't be very long cause idk what else to say. But President Nelson came and so did Jenny Oaks Baker for devotionals. They were awesome. Jenny Oaks Baker is Elder Oaks daughter. She is like one of the top in the world at the violin.
I love you so much. One thing that really taught me this week was that it's better to be trusted than to be loved. Heavenly Father loves us, but can he trust us. Cause if he trusts you , then there is never any doubt that he loves us. I kinda feel that way with my whole district. Like I'm not the most talked to person. Not like I ever was to begin with. But it's ok because I would rather be trusted than loved. Another thing that just helped me out so much was that Brother Machado, the "investigator" I taught who is now my teacher, told me that I'm teachable. It was kinda weird cause I'm stubborn a lot of the times haha. But that was just a really cool compliment. I hope that that was a long enough email for you. Sorry if it wasn't. I've never been really good at talking so yup. I would also like the package by Wednesday this time, but Thursday is good too. Tell everybody that I love them and am happy that I can talk to you all every week. Also tell Brother Gurr thanks for the letter he gave me. Say hello to the ward for me. That is a good ward, We've all been blessed to live in it. Tell the basketball group that I miss those fun Tuesday nights. I also miss our family game nights, dinners and everything else we did as a family. I also may have forgotten to take my fast Sunday pin with me. Oops. I still thought of you. I am really sorry I forgot it. I think it's in that tie tac thing I asked for. Anyways, Love you mom.
Love Elder Nelson
