Week 46

Monday, September 11, 2017

Sup peeps, 

This past week was a good week. We actually had a challenge this past week to find 168 new investigators. Man, it was down to the wire. We barely made our goal and because of it, we were able to have lunch as a zone and watch the other side of heaven. It was awesome.

This past week me and my comp had made a goal to find and mark 8 new dates. We had found the people, actually like 3 families, but had failed to make the dates for 2 of them and came short of our goal by 5. I was so sad, and the investigators in church was sad also, with only one. Last night I was just so sad about what had not happened that I forgot to look at the good that did. We found 3 families, will have a baptism this week, found some more people that we taught with a powerful spirit, and many more miracles. So, as I was talking to my kid about what I was feeling, he said to look at the good and to be grateful for the good. I was like man, this kid is a greenie and he already has the most important aspect of missionary work down. Gratitude. 

If we have gratitude, we wont just stop working or do less productive work, but we will lean  how to work harder to be even more grateful the next week. Christ has said that is we don't have gratitude, then something bad happens haha, cant remember exactly what He said, but since He said it, we better listen. 

I love this mission. I love my Savior. Even though BYU lost 2 days ago, we should still be grateful that at least it wasn't a blow out. Next year we will get them. It's a missionary promise haha. Love you all. Have a good week and be all in for the love of the Lord, and BYU haha

Love Elder Nelson
