This week was really great! What else can I say...every day in the mission field is a blessing. We had a super special sacrament meeting. President Stone came and spoke to our branch! It was so awesome (even though we needed a translator). It was so wonderful. He pumped up the members to talk with at least one person a day about the gospel. He shared some really great experiences from across our mission. It was really awesome to have him here.
Y--- is doing so awesome! She has changed so much since we met her. She is loving the Book of Mormon and everything we teach. She is so excited for her baptism this Saturday!
We had a really awesome miracle this week. We have been working with one of our members to give us referrals. She is super great. A random person called her to ask about a room she rents out and she struck up a conversation with her. Anyway, they became really good friends over the phone and decided to meet in person, and when they did, our member introduced her to the gospel. The lady brought her nephew with her that day. Her nephew is named Kevin and he was taking the missionary lessons before he had to move here suddenly. We met him about 2 months ago but lost contact. Anyway, long story short, the Lord has led him into our path twice in miraculous ways, so we are really excited to meet with him tomorrow!
Another exciting highlight: I went inside a YMCA this week! We participated in a family history event at the YMCA, so we get free entrance because we are missionaries. While there, we met some guys who were walking from Tennessee to Colorado. We were walking to teach a lesson, and they were passing through our area. So we had a great walking lesson and were able to teach the restoration while we walked several miles to our appointment. We gave them pamphlets and explained to them how to find missionaries where ever they ended up. One of them had already read half the Book of Mormon.
Today for P-day we played a big basketball tournament with the missionaries and some members from the 1st Ward. It was super fun and I got so red in the face.
Helaman 5:12 - Remember to take the time to focus your life on Jesus Christ without him we can't achieve anything; with him we can achieve all things.
That's it. I will have more news next week! Transfers come in this weekend, but I think we aren't going anywhere!
Love y'all,
Hermana Nielson
