Hey Guys
So this past week has been a pretty fun week. Lots of walking, walking, and more walking. I sometimes feel like the ratio between the amount of walking and lessons taught is very skewed, because here, loads of people live far away, like a good 10-15 minutes sometimes. But on the bright side, I'll have some iron thighs when I get back home haha.
So this past week we have been preparing some people for baptism. It's been awesome to see the desire of the people change and see their face light up when we talk about baptism. We also had a few days where we found some really cool investigators. Before my mission, I never really believed that the people were waiting. That may be and to say, but that was kinda what I thought. But looking back now at my 6 months in the field, I just am shocked that the people are really ready and waiting to receive it. And there may be times where they don't receive You, but you at least planted the seed in their heart and helped them in some way. And that is what I have learned here. Is that by small and simple things are the miracles brought to pass. Because when we do the small and simple things in life, our faith grows, and we will then be able to notice the big miracles because of that faith that was tested.
And this past week we also walked up to Estancia Roque, which is up in the mountain ranges of Fogo, twice haha. It is about 3 miles to walk up there, and it is all up hill, which is pretty steep. So, to end this weekly email, is there not a better feeling to have than of your clothes sticking to you and feeling the drops of sweat all over your body, and having a waterfall on your face? See? I don't think there is haha.
Well I hope you all have a good week, and I hope that you all notice the small miracles in your life, even when things become hard.
Love Elder Nelson
