"You have angel wings -- I just can't see them."

This week was really crazy! A start of a new transfer always brings a lot of craziness!

My new companion her name is Hermana Ortiz, and she is awesome! She is from the Dominican Republic and is such a amazing missionary. My Spanish skills have definitely been put to the test this week as Hermana Ortiz speaks little to no English. She is learning and doing so great, but sometimes I forget and just start speaking English. She just stares at me, blinks a few times,  and tells me kindly she doesn't understand. Fun fact about my companion - she has served in three different missions!

The work has been going really good this week! We set our investigator a baptismal date for the 3rd of June. He is trying really hard to find an answer and said he will be baptized on that day if he has his answer by that day. We are excited for him.

We have just seen a mountain of miracles this week. We received a less-active referral, and we were able to teach her. She and our less-active friend came to church yesterday. We also found a new family when we were out knocking doors on a really hot day. This family who just recently moved from Mexico. We are excited to teach them.

We walked a lot this week. And faced some opposition like a less-active member explaining to his investigator friend how Joseph Smith was his favorite Saint but the Mormons taught him not to ask to many favors of him and it's better to pray to God. It was a very interesting week to say the least. We have a lot of faith, and we are excited for what this transfer will hold!

Con amor,
Hermana Nielson
