Hey Mom,
Another short email and time on here hehe. I don´t mean for this to happen, just me and my comp don´t plan super well when we are doing email. But anyway, this past week was a very interesting one for me and my comp. Let us begin.
Well first, we were planning a division with a duple in our zone, Patim, on Tuesday. But due to sickness, it didn't work out. So me and Elder Sailors stayed together and we worked in our area. We had a baller family night that night and had some good food
as well. Cake, drinks and popcorn with some type of pasties as well. Very good. SO the next day we did our mission fast. It was a Wednesday as well. So when we started, the fast, my stomach was normal. But then it just got worse as the day went on. After we
flew to Praia, I about died that night. I spent the whole afternoon on a bed in Praia at a elders apartment. It sucked. I went to the bathroom every other minute haha. Then at night it all came out and I was at peace in my stomach. But then during the night
I still just went to the bathroom. It was horrible. But thankfully the next day was better.
It was council and it was very productive. I loved it and my stomach was doing a lot better. Then we went back and worked for a bit after council and I slept soo good that night. Very good. Afterwards we came back to Fogo, and encountered some of the hardest
days of my mission so far. Nobody was home and we could not teach anybody. We did fet though a good pump up from a solid member here in our ward. I was feeling better after that pump up.
Then Sunday hit. Nobody who said they would go to church went to church. We passed by and called and nothing. I was done. So we went back to the church and I practiced the piano for the opening song, which was I know that my Redeemeer Lives. I was going
to play the right hand for it and I did ok, but I was shaking the whole time and I felt like I failed afterwards. But then during the Sacrament hymn, I stand all amazed, the love for and from the Savior came over me and I felt Him near me. It was a very neat
experience. And I learned something. These people are not denying me or my comp. They are denying the Savior. And that just made me take the calling of missionary on a higher level. We do this work for the Lord and not for us. I think I have been too worried
on worrying for me and my goals and the zones goals that I haven't been working for the Savior. So I changed my ways and since then I´ve been feeling a lot better. Today has been a run but it is a good day. Glad I am ending it right now though. I am tired.
Well I love you mom. Hope you have a great week. See you next time! And could you see if Conner is at the pizza factory in Provo. I had a thought today to try and get my old job back but working in the morning this time. So See if he is there and have him
email me or something. I would really appreciate it. I will respoind better next week to your questions due to time. Love you Mom.
Love Elder Nelson
