Week 21

Hey Y´all! Man I love the southern language!

I am doing great. This past week was one of the most uplifting weeks I have had in a while. There was some spiritual stuff and some funny stuff. The funny stuff should come first haha.

So we had another elder stay with us this past week for a few days because he had to renew his visa. And while he was with us, a church film crew was here to film a follow up about what happened a year ago. A year ago, this lady was baptized because she was involved in some self reliance group by the church. And the guy who baptized her was struggling with some financial stuff so that's why he was in the class. Both are successful now. And the best part was that the visa guy was put in the film haha. We only had like 2 lessons that day, but man it was a day to remember. I also talked to an Australian guy who had a legit accent. It was awesome!

The spiritual stuff was awesome too. This past week was zone conference and interviews. We also had a powerful lesson with a husband of an internal investigator. Finally. But since everything will take so long to explain, here is what I learned. The Lord will never forget you. I love that. Also this story. So a guy was walking down a beach, leaving footprints to represent his life. At the end of his life, he met God. As he looked back on his life, he saw sometimes only 1 set of footprints. "How come you didn´t walk with me when I was alone, facing those hardest challenges of my life?"(Just a paraphrase here haha) this guy said. God said, "I did walk with you every step of the way. Those times of only one set of footprints was me carrying you through those challenges and difficulties." I testify that this is true. He will never forget us. We arte Golden sons and daughters to Him. Golden. Precious. Loved. Cherished sons and daughters of God. Love you all!

Love Elder Nelson
