Hello Family and friends,
This past week was a fun week. Like, really fun. We did some fun activities and had a baptism. It was cool.
First, I went back to Praia to pick up my passport and visa. So now I am finally legal again in the country haha. Then, I spent the rest of Wednesday with my mission dad, Elder Robertson. Man, it was awesome to be back serving with him, even if it was just a few hours. Then, we got back to my area, and literally 2 days later, we went with the stake president to go and plant like 4 types of bean plants and some corn. Man, oh man, it took from 7 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon, with an hour break to eat. Man, it was exhausting. We planted so many seeds and had such a good time. It was raining like halfway through it as well, so we were soaked, happy, and tired by 3 o'clock. But it was a good activity. Then on Saturday, we had another baptism. His name is Denis. Cool kid. Excited than most to pass the sacrament. Which leads me to the next part.
Because of everything that happened this past week, we didn't really have the success that I was hoping for, and I was just feeling really down on everything that was happening. But, this past Sunday, I had the opportunity to bless the sacrament. What an incredible feeling. I was able to feel the spirit so strong when the bread and water was being passed around. I know God lives and that Jesus is the Living Christ. Without Him, there is no missionary work, salvation, and no creation. He is everything to us and gave us everything we have in our lives. I was reading a talk in April of 2017 conference issue, and it said something really interesting. Can't remember who it is by, but it said something about knowing who our savior really is. For that is essential to gain exaltation. So, my challenge is that you all come and know who the Savior Really is to you. Take the time. Study Him out. Look for Him, and you will find Him.
Love you all! Love Elder Nelson
