Hola!
We have had such a crazy week! But first happy Mother's Day!
The fair came to Antioch this week, so we did some fair contacting! We helped a less active family replaster their ceiling (it got us all nasty), and we got in a car crash. We celebrated Cinco de Mayo this week! Fun fact: Hispanics don't celebrate Cinco de Mayo aside from one tiny city in Mexico.
This week was really busy. We were running all over the place. We met with a girl named A---- this week. We met her 2 weeks ago knocking doors, she is 15 and just as spunky as they come. She is home all the time with just her two little brothers. We never have met the parents. The time before we taught about the Restoration and she got so excited you would've thought her mind had literally been blown. We gave her a Book of Mormon and said she would read it in a day... maybe a
week because she wanted to soak it in. We returned and asked how reading went. She said she fought with her parents about us, and they eventually said she could still see us but not to read the book. She told us her plan to take back the book. We told her to honor her father and mother, but she insisted. Her and her siblings understand so much and want to learn. We are so excited to teach them!
J----- is still on date for the 21st! We are so excited for him. He understood the commandments and everything really well. We can just see the work going so fast here. We see people all the time who call out to us because we are members.
Today for P-day, we went back downtown again with P----, our recent convert! We were walking around when we heard a lot of screaming. We turned the corner into a swarm of people. We had accidentally walked into a open air Keith Urban concert!! We are really unsure what was happening, or why but Keith Urban was giving a free concert randomly on the street. It was awesome! But to be good obedient missionaries, we took just a couple pictures and were on way, wading through the crowds to our original destination! It was an answer to my companions
prayer! The biggest Keith urban fan ever. But that is what's great about Nashville. You can run into just about any famous person just walking around.
That was my week, it was pretty great! Lots of blessings! Hope everyone has a great week!
Love,
Hermana Nielson
P.S. We didn't listen to the concert.
P.P.S. The second is an actual literal representation of my mission.
