Week 91

Monday, July 23, 2018

Hey Mom, 

This past week was a very good week. Transfers happened as you know and it has been a good change so far. I am excited to see what else is in store for us this transfer. He has been out a little over a year.  We do divisions every transfer once with every district leader. We are always on the same island for divisions because President doesn't want us to do divisions any more on Brava. 

This week is pretty packed. We have another division on Wednesday, some district meetings and then we have a zone challenge to handle. We are tying to mark dates for baptisms this week as a challenge. It wiçç be pretty fun. 

This past week though was a very interesting one. We had transfers and every dupla, I kid you not, was changed up. SO that means for about 4 days, our house in sao filipe was attacked by 6 elders, then 5 then 6 again then 4 until Saturday, then it was just me and my comp. I was so happy for when that day hit. It was awesome. This past week we also had a ward activity setup and it was awesome! It was about the book of mormon and it was powerful. We had some investigators come to that and some less actives. It was fixe de mais. Other than that, we just had a good week working hard and having a great star to the transfer. 

My thought comes from what I've experienced this past transfer. When there are people divided, particularly  the leaders, the whole group is lost. The more the leaders are unified the more success there is. So, always work in unity. The more you are unified the more peace and love that fills inside of you and the more you are happy and content. The Savior said Himself that contention was of the devil and that we should avoid contention as much as possible. But if we are disagreeing in our hearts, it is the same principle. Just my 2 sence. Hope you all have a good week. Love you Mom. 

Love, Elder Nelson

I am happy too. And yes I did! It was a good birthday. Now it is just a sprint to the finish line. 4 months, 400 meters to run. Lets go. And hey, the pictures I have from the last 2 transfers got wiped because of a stinking virus. So pictures will have to wait until the next week. Sorry again. And hey, did you know that Andrew talked to one of my comps this past week?

It is kinda weird but I am excited. And his name is Gricius haha: But hey, I gtg. Love you Mom. Have an awesome day. I will write everybody next week due to the limited time today- Have an awesome week. Love Elder Nelson!
