The Adventures Continue!
Well! this is draft two of my letter because
i started writing about one thing then decided it didn't need to be
written so i'm writing something else!!
here's the cool story of the week!!!
So friday we got a call from the assistants to the
president. (which at first seems like trouble right? no worries. this
time its good!) They asked Sister Garry to sing in a special musical
number for our ward because the mission president was coming to speak!
super cool right? so they brought down some sisters from corpus, elders
from brownsville/edinburg and then sister garry! it was super cool. they
sang I need thee every hour. it was a beautiful arrangement and a super
cool experience! i missed the presidents talk though because i went
with another sister to try rounding up investigators haha. sunday joys!
after church we went to the mission presidents house
for lunch with his family. The Maluenda's are serioously the most
beautiful family ever! i love them all so much! as we were all talking
President put a LOT of emphasis on the fact that we need to use our
talents in the mission! all of them! if we can sing or play an
instrument, do it! So i have plans to get a guitar or something and
develope a talent to share since i can't sing(: haha!
Then we got back to church for spanish ward! i love
spanish ward so much(: i'm finally understanding basically all that goes
on and keeping conversations up(sorta) and we had a miracle! we had
given up hope anyone was coming to church when suddenly sister garry and
i turned around and behold!! one of our investigators was their with
his kids!! it was super exciting! and he loved the meetings! yay!! we
get go see him on wednesday to see what his thoughts were and hopefully
commit him to a baptismal date!
Super cool!
Not sure why but i'm
feeling slightly off today... so thats all my exciting new for the week
to share(: sister garry and i are still chugging along! we know we can
do this work together and are going to make the best of the next two
weeks we know we have together! thanks for the prayers and updates from
home! i hope all continues to be well and know that the Lord is always
there and understands! Christ didn't just suffer for our signs, he knows
every pain we have and ever will feel. From stubbing your toe, to
losing a loved one he understands and is there for us to turn to at the
moment we need a friend most. I've learned that lesson for sure so far
in my mission. Don't ever be afraid to pray for direction!
Love y'all!
Sister Nielson
