Hello from Kentucky!

This week has been quite crazy! So buckle up... this is going to be good.

So Hermana Demarrow got her her boot off on Tuesday, so we were able to do a lot of door knocking and just get around easier. Also we had zone conference which was a really amazing opportunity to get to know our new mission president and his family and learn things that can help us in our work. It was in Murfreesboro, TN which was about an hour from Mt. Juliet.

Full-time car got revoked, and we were given part-time car starting on the next Sunday. We just had a week with a lot of meetings and seeing people.

All of that kinda pales in comparison to what has happening in about the last day. Saturday night we were preparing for bed and we got a call from President Stone. He said there was a situation in Kentucky and a English sister was going home, and to avoid shutting down her area, they were going to emergency transfer me to Bowling Green, Kentucky! I was instruced to get to the mission home right after church the next day. We hurriedly packed all my stuff, and stayed up pretty late doing it and went to church the next day, luggage in hand, and dropped it in the clerks office. I gave a talk in sacrament meeting (which was really more like a long testimony, due to my lack time) and after drove with a member to the mission home. 

I spent a couple of nice hours with President and Sister Stone and their family. Then my new companion showed up Her name is Sister H-----. She is an English-speaking sister, so I will be in a zebra (English/Spanish) for the next 3 weeks of the transfer. She is toe head blonde and 4'8" tall. We are quite the companionship. We made the couple hour drive to Bowling Green and got in pretty late last night, then we slept and woke up and studied, unpacked and here we are! We joke that we are both training - she is training an English missionary and I am training a Spanish missionary! I am excited to see what this next week brings!

Spiritual thought is from the Book of Mormon in Moroni 7:33. And Christ hath said: If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me.  I love this because it is true. And faith, mostly importantly faith in Jesus Christ our Savior, can give us power to make anything happen, to move mountains and change lives!

I hope you have a great week!

Love,
Hermana/ Sister Nielson

P.S. I noticed Sister H----- is standing on a good couple inch step!
