Clarity

Wow, this week was a whirlwind! Just let me catch my breath real fast. We went to Nashville today, so I don't have a lot of time to email, but I'll give some quick highlights!

We volunteered at the international center again this week. It's so fun to mix with the other cultures. I learned some basic Somali, like "saetahay", which is how you say "how are you?" in Somalian.

We taught a lot of lessons and did a lot of finding. We've been dropped by investigators so much this last week, but it hasn't been too rough because we just see that we can have more time to find the people who need the Lord in this moment. We have been seeing miracles! We have been very busy visiting lots of people. We are planning a big group activity for this Saturday for people to invite their friends to.  We also had exchanges this past week, I went to speak English with the wonderful Sister L------, in my old area. We saw some amazing miracles, taught a cool girl from Kenya, did lots of finding, even ventured out far into the country side. It's always fun to mix things up, and at one of our lessons, I held a real, live chameleon! Fun fact: They really don't change colors like I always thought.

Sadly none of our investigators came to church because church was canceled this week because a water pipe broke and there was no water. The members were redirected to other church buildings in other towns, but as the missionaries in Bowling Green cannot leave, we received permission to hold our own sacrament meeting. It was something I don't think I will ever forget.  Twelve missionaries having a humble sacrament meeting in a home gave it quite a different feeling than usual. The sacrament was quite reverent and powerful. Then we each took a opportunity to share our testimony, The Spirit was strong. The Spirit testified that the Lord loved each person in that room and worked so many different experiences for us all to be there that day.

Today, we went down to Nashville and met with a couple other missionaries including Hermana S-----. We saw a few cute sites. Don't have a lot of time, but I want to tell y'all that I know the church is true, that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I know if we follow it's precepts we can live with our families and with God forever. I know this is a true work and feel honored for the opportunity to be here.

Also transfers are this week.... I'll keep you posted!

Hope y'all had a good week! Love y'all!

Con amor,
Hermana Nielson
