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!

Misioneritas!!

Mini missionary fun!

Soooo this last week sister Garry and I had babies! mission babies! two young woman from the other stake got to come work with us for the whole week. they slept over at the house of a member, got dropped off at 715 in the morning and picked up at 930 at night! it was a crazy week and sister Garry and i are stoked to take naps today!!!! Longest. Yet. Shortest. Week. Ever!!!

So because we had NO miles left at the end of July... we walked. a lot. on our first full day out walking... our minis didn't bring enough water... for some reason they thought missionaries sat in cars and houses all day? Silly girls(: So one of the minis threw up... not so great... The rest of the week we planned a lot better so they wouldn't have to walk quite as far. each day we switched which mini was with us so that made it a lot of fun! We even found 4 new investigators this week!! Two of them are moms with 3 boys each! ( we plan to get the whole families together this week and teach them all! oh and baptize them as we bring them to Christ)

Our last new investigator of the week we found last night when it was just sister Garry and I! he is probably my favorite one so far. His name is Pete(: and he speaks Spanish. No worries. sister Garry and I are totally awesome at teaching in Spanish now (: except when they use non gospel related words... then we are super confused and they have to try speaking English to us to help us understand the question. That was interesting...

But really what i want to tell you this week is i got jacked for not having my bible with me... jacked is a term we use in the mission meaning... like we got in trouble. When we don't do the reading for district meeting for example, our district leader might "jack us". Sooooo here's what happened!
My mini and i were walking down the street right? a very missionary thing to do(: when this red jeep drives up and the guy yells out "hey are you the Mormons?" well of course that's our favorite thing in the world to hear. so we said "why yes we are" and walked over. what took place after that was one of the most intense conversations I have ever had.

 Yes. We bible bashed. Correction, they bible bashed, my mini missionary stood terrified and confused, and I testified because that's all you can really do in that situation. There were two guys sitting in the car and at first the conversation was friendly! they asked why we are called Mormons(2nd time that week I'd had that question) and I told them I'd show them. so I pulled out a book of Mormon and started explaining(: They were pretty receptive at first... but there is this physical change you can see when Satan takes hold of someone's heart and they start attacking you... yep... it happened. afterward my mini told me that she was understand everything going on, then suddenly she couldn't understand any more and they just looked mean. That is what I call the shift. They shift from being open and receptive to attacking.. and they claim they just want to talk... and that Christ rejoices when we speak of Him. However I don't think He is a fan of when you attack His representatives with false beliefs... ah well! I stood my ground and gave them some things to serioously think about(: as well as gave them both a book of Mormon and committed them to read the introduction and pray about it(: HOWEVER. i did not have my bible... So they asked to see it and I couldn't pull it out... (I'll be honest, its a pure lazy thing... I just carry my triple in Spanish, a BoM in both languages to give away and 3 pamphlets each of the main lessons we teach with my picture book and folder of information for our area... backpacks are heavy when you walk around all day and bibles are SUPER HEAVY!) They pointed out that i was trying to preach about something I didn't even carry... Spiritual jacking right there. the spirit was NOT happy with me. So i will never go anywhere without a bible again. I literally have my triple and bible sitting on my desk as i write this.

Yesterday when we found Pete he also asked to see our bible in Spanish. No worries. it was safely in my backpack ready to be pulled out(: Two witnesses in two days? I get the picture. I won't leave my bible in the car any more!!

On the Spanish news! i gave a talk in Spanish in our zone meeting this last week! It was about the importance of families. i talked about how my parents are where all my gospel learning begin. I learned from my mom to make your bed then say your prayers and I know the importance of knowing your scriptures because my dad can still quote the scripture masteries! I felt pretty awesome speaking and being understood and the elders told me i did a great job and thanked me for it(: yay!!! If only my Spanish teachers could see me now! Speaking to the people and testifying too!

Over all that's the basics of the week! its been a pretty crazy ride but sister Garry and I are excited to fly this week as just the two of us again! mini missionaries are boss and I wish they did this in Utah... but man they complicate things a lot!

I wish you all a great week and don't forget to share the gospel with someone this week! and bring yourself closer to Christ. that is the most important thing! you can only convert to the level of your own conversion. and for that i am reading the bible daily now! Feast upon the words of Christ ! for the words of Christ will tell you all things that ye should do!
Love you!

TMM STYLE!

Oh what a week we have seen down here in south texas!!!

Highlight of the week :we found EIGHT. thats right. 8!!! new investigators this week! super cool right? Bad news... none could come to church! but its ok. they will be there next week because the church is true(:

 

So funny things of the week:

Our miles are totally zapped! on wednesday we looked at it and realized we only had 100 miles left for the week. which seems like a lot... but definitely isn't! so we biked! a lot... in the 108 degree weather.. in skirts. I bought some better biking shoes last week with a strap across the foot(mary jane style) and i am now proudly sporting a very ridiculous tan line(: Its great! our members just laugh at us and tell us we should be more careful with our miles! probably true... but its been fun! the bikes are always an adventure! Sister Garry didn't wear the pencil skirt this week though so we didn't have an crashes(: just a few flashing moments with the wind... woops... probably should buy leggings or shorts for under my skirt this week haha!

 

 

Mail! so this story is pretty great(: we hadn't gotten any mail for like two weeks... and man.. i was having a serioous pity party quietly by myself thinking "why doesn't anyone love me enough to write? i understand my siblings writing me... but aunt linda usually writes me... or other missionaries..." so as i was feeling this way, we got home on wednesday and the sisters were disgusted with me. (not my companion the other ones we live with) I asked what was up and they pointed to my desk. our mail box has apparently been broken and he hasn't been able to put it in so they happened to run into him today and i got 5 letters from various loving people! It was a wonderful moment in life to know that someone in the real world is thinking of me(: haha!

 

Spanish and Teaching update!!! We found this wonderful family this last week! The Chavez family! consisting of a mom and 3 adorable girls! they were a referel from the member and super awesome! when we came by the mom told me she had been waiting  for someone from our church but no one had come yet! so we set an appointment for friday and off sister garry and i went! we taught them the restoration! in spanish. completely. and my compy is still uncomfortable with spanish so i taught most of it and she said the first vision(: It was more than a little awesome knowing that i was being understood completely and i was understanding their questions and comments as well! This family is super wonderful! they accepted baptismal dates for the 25 of August and we are hopefully going to have a family home evening with them tonight! i'm super excited!

 

oh also this week we get mini missionaries... which means youth from down here will come be with us for a week. we get  two! which means sister garry takes one and they work, and i got the other and we go to work.. for a week!!! crazy right? we are freaking out a little and anticipating weight loss as we have no miles and only one car.. yay for adventures!! we will have more updates on this story next week for sure!!

 

overall that is the main points of excitement we have been blessed with and stumbled into this last week! Every day an adventure in the TMM! Love you all and i wish you the best this week! If you aren't reading your scriptures... i hope the spirit just hit you with a little guilt and you will open them tonight! The book of Mormon changes lives!!! I know it!!

Dumped like a bad prom date..

Well this week has been a bit flip floppy! Conveniently I forgot my journal so i can't give you any play-by-plays! Haha works out well right? But here's the highlights that i can remember!

 

Sister Bolster headed home on Tuesday and I officially took over as senior companion! I now know how stressful it feels to ask your companion what you should do and have them turn to you and say "i don't know you are the senior companion!" basically the only thought that went through my head the first time was "oh shoot." We even had our first door slammed in our faces as a solo companionship haha! But no worries! We are all learning right? The secret is acting like you totally know whats going on all the time(;

 

Sister Garry and I have realized that we have to put our FULL trust in the Lord right now. We aren't completely fluently and sometimes have to resort to hand gestures to figure out what our spanish speakers mean, but we aren't going to give up! We chosen Moroni 7:33 as our theme scripture for the week!

 

"And Christ hath said: if ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me."

 

We know that the Lord whats us to bring souls unto Him, so if we will be faithful and focused, we WILL be blessed for sure! There truly are people prepared every where in the world. they are just waiting for the right person to knock at their door at the right moment. and with that being said, our no knocking rule has been lifted! No to say we are going to knock all the doors now, but we will definitely be trying some more ways of finding people.

 

To explain the subject line, we literally had all of our investigators drop us this week... It could be seen as a bad thing, but i see it as good because we are starting with a fresh slate. It is now time for my compy and I to find the people prepared specifically for us to teach at this time!

 

Best Adventure of the week!

We have decided in an effort to be more healthy that we will bike more. Oh yes. So we biked on thursday! that wasn't so bad. it was actually pretty fun! then on Saturday we biked again and sister garry decided to try wearing a pencil skirt to see if that was better because it wouldnt be able to flip up like my skirts sometimes do(i learned the bike trick though! you put your seat as high as you can stand it and your skirt stays down easier! dunno why! but it does!) so she is riding in her little skirt and then as i'm locking my bike up I hear "sister nielson!!!! sister nielson look!!!!" i looked up in time to see my companion riding side saddle on her bike and go STRAIGHT BACKWARDS! No worries, she isn't injured at all! but it was the funniiest thing i have ever see in my life. the bike went down first and then i thougth she had caught herself but nope! you can't really catch yourself in a pencil skirt so she went right down on top of it and well... so much for not having her skirt fly up! it seriously was hilarious. i just stood there laughing for a second after she announced she was ok! Then as we were riding back to the apartment to get our car, it started raining. Yup. Picture this one, two white girls riding bikes in the car lane in the rain in texas! i hope you got a chuckle out of that one because we were laughing super hard as everyone looked at us like we were crazy. maybe we are... oh well! I love my companion!

Last event of the week was our convert being confirmed and receiving the holy ghost! she was sooo excited and her kids came to sacrament meeting!(they aren't members... yet!) She received a very sweet blessing and I'm excited to see what things unfold with their family!

 

Overall that was basically my first week as a senior companion! Pray for the success of the Texas McAllen Mission! and all missionaries! but most of all i challenge you to pray for a missionary experience and carry a book of mormon with you every where! There is someone just waiting to receive it! i promise! The church is true and the Lord blesses all those that embark in his work!  Una obra maravillosa!

Love you all!

Milagros y Locos!!!

This week has been absolutely INSANE!!!! I believe the last week of every transfer should but but

man!!!! I can't even begin to describe the roller coaster! so we will just share a few stories and maybe you can read my journal someday and learn of ALL the craziness!!!!

We can go with a funny story first! soooo we went to visit this permagater (permanent investigator) His family is all members and he was supposed to get baptized on the 30th of June but backed out and didn't do it.. Super sad right? here's the funny part... we had felt that we need to visit them this week. so we went! and his wife told us that the day after he should have been baptized he told her he wanted to be! But she just never got around to calling us... (WHAT?!) so we asked where he was currently and she said that when we started walking up to the house and he saw us he ran to the back to hide... so then we heard all this quacking out front(they have a bunch of chickens and ducks and dogs. this is the house sister bolster got bit by a goose at). we walk out... and he is in the car leaving! He literally ran for it when he saw us! now we are thinking we are clever because our car is in the middle of their super long driveway and he can't get out. Yeah right. He drove ON THE GRASS! AROUND OUR CAR to get out of there! How crazy is that?! Its not the best situation ever... but when you step back and look at it? we died laughing when we got home that night because it really is funny the extreme measure he went to running away! Crazy right?

NOW THE HUGE NEWS!!!

MIRACLE BAPTISM!!!!

and when I say MIRACLE. I MEAN IT!!! She literally decided on Thursday she was getting baptized! We will call them the A family!!! Well They were actually miraculously found by a member about 2 months ago right? so brother A got baptized in May before i got here and that was a big messy mess but because he was SO prepared to be a member, everything worked out! His wife knew the church was true as well but refused to be baptized until her two kids found god. so we have been visiting them this whole transfer trying to help her realize she need to make the first move and follow what she knows is true. Yeah a wiser person might have walked away... but we knew we had to help them! We had lessons where we just read in the book of mormon with brother A about baptism and he straight up told her should would go to hell if she wasn't baptized! Crazy right? so thursday night we were like "ok... this has to happen. she is getting baptized" we had it in our plans all week that we would have a baptism on the 14th of July because it was sister bolster's last sunday in the field. so we went into the lesson with that mind set and were TERRIFIED!!!! But Sister Garry started us out strong and after a good hour of discussion I told Sister A "you have to kneel and ask him and you will feel ready" and she asked "well what if i don't feel it?" and I felt like at that moment it truly was God saying through me "Sister A, you are going to feel it. You will." oh man it was scary. we were all shaking and hearts pounding as we knelt on the floor and she prayed. when she finished she said she felt so much peace and comfort! her heart was just racing. we told her that was her sign. But no worries, the devil tries! Friday morning she woke up and told her kids she wasn't going to do it. Through-out friday she literally had SIX signs pretty much tell her she needed to be baptized, from finding notes in her car, so a lady straight up reading to her in the bible(completely randomly) about how she needs to put the things of GOD first!!! :D So we visited saturday and talked and she straight up said "it would be idiotic NOT to get baptized after the signs I've had!" Holy shoot man!!! We were ALL smiles. then sunday she had her interview during church, passed with flying colors and a testimony and gold!

Now is the best part of the story, Her HUSBAND! (member of one month) BAPTIZED HER!!!! He speaks mainly spanish. so he did it in spanish and it was flawless perfect! She came out of the water and they were all smiles! they hugged and he kissed her cheeks and we were waiting at the top of the stairs to hug her! it was seriously the biggest miracle ever! We are so happy for them! and the children's hearts are being soften towards the church SO much! Sister Garry and I are determined to get them to accept the gospel this transfer!

 

Oh yeah! Transfers!!!! Not too exciting but they are at the same time!! Sister Bolster is headed home to cali! she will be greatly missed because she truly is a great missionary! But here's the fun bit... Sister Nielson is now senior companion with sister  garry! wooooo!!! D: I'm just glad I'm not training yet! Sister Garry and I have VERY similar personalities so we get along great(: we both are determined to work our behinds off this transfer and bring some serious souls unto Christ! The only real perk of being senior comp is i get to drive again(; yay! Sister Nielson hates driving haha. this should be fun! Oh well! I'm excited! this next transfer will be a blast!! So you can keep sending me letters here in mcallen! I love hearing from home so much!!! I especially love pictures from my cute neighbers(: They are the best! I hope all is well back in Utah and you've enjoyed my crazy stories from this past week! The mission really is the biggest adventure ever! Sister Bolster said this transfer has literally been her craziest ever... i hope thats not my fault! If so, I have a GREAT future to look forward to! Remember to always put the things of the Lord first! he is ready and willing to help us but man... he has it ALL planned out so much better than we EVER could! TRUST HIM!!!! :D Love you all and keep me posted on the Utah Gossip!

Every day is a great day to be a Texas Mcallen Missionary!

Why hello once again from the great city of McAllen Texas! Its been a nice and cool 100 degrees this past week and we had quite the 4th of July celebration! ok so not really. it wasn't like a utah party... which was interesting for sure!

 

In past years, the missionaries have been required to come in early on the 4th of july. but with our new president came new rules! we were directed to stay out til normal time and spend time with members! Sooo the day started with an AWESOME 4th of july breakfast! lots of people came! the missionaries got put in charge of serving syrup! but since our companionship had members bringing nonmembers, we... meaning I... bossed the elders around a little and made them do the syrup(: no worries, it was done with love and then they were all(20 elders) awkwardly standing by syrup. so they got bossed again to go talk to members. Good times had by all(: We actually had two members bring their friends! it was super cool! a family from our spanish ward brought this really nice older lady from Chile! she is absolutely amazing! (more on her later because we saw her later in the day!) Then an english ward family we have been working with brought their neighbors. We were super excited and hopefully will see some progress with them in the near future! Oh and guess what we ate for breakfast? a good old american texas meal! there were pancakes, sausage, bacon, and TACOS. because no meal is complete down here without tortillas! I wish i could say it was delicious but i was too districted talking to members/investigators and helping with the serving ): no worries i ate when we got back to the apartment!

Ok so more on the chilean lady! a SPANISH family brought her to the breakfast. Then we had plans to visit a family from our english ward and when we got their, they told us they had invited a good friend to meet us! (yay for member work!!!!) AND IT WAS THE SAME LADY!! We were so excited!!! So we got to talk to her and build some friendship there and we have an appoint to see her tomorrow afternoon! Huzzah for members bringing their friends! 

 

That night we had dinner with a family from our english ward. They are seriously the coolest ever. They barbecued and i am sorry to say it was better than any I have ever had!(sorry dad!) They are a super cool family too! they are always open to us coming over and keep bugging us to bring investigators to family home evenings at their house. best. members. ever!  After that we kind of visited a few more people but ended up home a little early anyways because everyone was at the fireworks and we weren't allowed to go... bummer man!

 

So that was our 4th of july fun!

 

My other awesome story for this week took place friday night! Friday is our planning day, so on top of our morning studies, we have 3 hours of planning for the next week. Yuck. we did make pizza this time though so that made it slightly fun. Well all of our plans fell through... so we decided to park at the church and walk to a potential investigators house... but of course... totally wasn't home. So as we were walking back i saw this little girl kind of teasing a dog behind a truck. so i started talking to her of course (you would be surprised how good i am at talking to strangers now! i totally order for myself every time we go out to eat mom!) So she asked us if we would like to take a seat and ran over to the truck infront of her house and put down the back thing... she was super cute! then we asked if we could to talk to her family too. Her mom is currently in the hospital, step father is in jail, and brother is in jail. so her 19 year old sister is taking care of her (shes 6) and their 8 month old sister. How crazy is that??? We talked to the 19 year old for a bit and asked her about church and she said her mom never takes them... so we offered to show her the church! Yeah! she accepted! we were walking around showing it to her when she asks "so does your church baptize?" UM! HECK YES WE DO!!!  Long story short, She is now preparing to be baptized on August 4th(: She wasn't able to come to church yesterday though because she had to go to the hospital to see her mom): but its ok! she will be there next week!

So in studies this week i put an emphasis on studying faith... in the bible dictionary is says "All true faith must be based upon correct knowledge or it cannot produce the desired results." Lots of people down here have a lot of faith. They know that Christ is their savior and that they can be saved, they just don't have the correct knowledge to get the "results" or help they need in their lives. My love for the people here has grown so much as I've realized this. Faith truly is a powerful thing. we can be healed by it, change our lives and those around us with it, but it must be based on the true doctrine of Christ. in our zone conference with the Trayner's, President Trayner talked about truths. Lots of things can be true. like a lemon is sour. That is true! Unfortunately that truth isn't going to help your salvation much.... we need to distinguish between the right truths that truly matter and find where our faith lies. that has been my focus this past week to really figure out my faith for sure. and this are the things i know because of my faith and it being based on correct knowledge:

Jesus Christ Lives. He is our Savior and our brother. He not only died for us, but He also lived for us. He walked the path that we must take and showed us by example what we must to do return to our Father in Heaven. God is our Father! He loves us sooo much! He truly loves every person that has walked this earth and ever will! I feel so grateful to be able to be here with the people in Mcallen Texas and serve them! Feeling that love our Father in Heaven has for them is truly incredible! He wants to bless us so much but when we get stuck on temporal things... He can only do so much. Just like us missionaries! we want to help people and teach them... but unless they are prepared to receive the message... we can't do anything. I hate that feeling a lot! When someone is suffering and I know they could be relieved of it if they would exercise a little faith but they wont... it really is hard!

I'm really greatfully to be serving here! I've had a few moments this past week i've been trunky...(homesick) But I know i am here to help these people. In any and EVERY way i can! Thank you to all for your prayers and support! This adventure is pretty crazy! I realized yesterday that the end of this month will mark 6 months since i watched my family drive away from the MTC... Its been the longest AND shortest of my life but worth every minute! I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week! I challenge you to look at where your faith lies, whether it is in the arm of man or the arm of God. If its a little... off from where it should be, do all you can to fix and seek that help!

 

Con mucho fe y amor de Tejas,

22nd Week, July 1, 2013

 Bienvenido a nuestro presidente nuevo!!!

Thats right ladies and gentlemen! The Great Texas Mcallen Mission said good bye to the Trayners this last week and we received the wonderful Maluenda Familia!! We are super excited for the changes they will bring but it was a bitter sweet goodbye! The Maluendas are actually native to chile! super cool huh? I bet that elder in chile would be able to communicate a lot better with them than i can currently because they prefer to only speak spanish... yikes! we call the mission presidents wife for medical help and we need to learn all our medical terms in spanish PRONTO! "hermana... tengo.. problemas... con... mi... boca? uh... nariz? no se!!" it will definitely be fun if i have to call her! haha

But enough about that! on to the stuff you really want to know! Our El Salvadorian investigators!!!!! So we had our hearts broken this last week... we have been meeting with this family (sort of... bits of pieces of family. cousins and nieces) and they are soooo prepared for the gospel! They are truly the prepared lamanites the book of mormon talks about! But they all want to travel up north and leave this week... we felt like dumped prom dates. i've decided dating a lot has prepared me for my mission because literally it feels like a heartbreaking dump when you have someone say they don't want to learn any more or tells you not to come back... ouch! So they have decided to leave us but we are praying like crazy they will stay a little longer!

 

This week is the fourth of July!! in the past we have been required to come indoors early because people in Texas... oh man they party hard on the fourth! Fireworks and such and there are stories of people shooting guns up in the air and someone dying because well.. what goes up must come down! but this year we are told to spend time with members and stay away from fireworks! That should be interesting for sure!!!

 

We had zone conference this last week and it was the trayners last one in the mission! oh man i have never seen so many 20 year old men cry! It was intense!!! We learned some super awesome things though that I really enjoyed! and the best part of zone conference is the ridiculous games!!

Spiritual moment!!! last Pday the sisters decided we should go shopping! somehow i got a group of shoppers... big surprise! so we played soccer with the elders( i rocked at it. just so you know. i totally went after the ball when our natives had it and got it! didn't score... but someday i will!) then we went to the mall! I had the most epic moment of my mission so far! We were just wandering and i was smiling at a little baby boy as his dad was chasing him down. well then the dad stops and looks at my tag and says "hermana??? habla en espanol!" to which i replied! why yes i do! and we talked for a little bit! he told me about his family and stuff and i asked if i could give him a card! so i gave him a finding faith in christ card and he committed to calling and getting the dvd! i didn't get an address because he is moving in five days... but how cool is that?! i had a totally spanish conversation and understand everything and shared some gospel ALONE! no help!! because the sisters were shopping... which i forgive them for! ;D it was a super awesome experience though! its crazy how happy people are that we are trying to speak their language.. they are seriously so patient with us.

 

We had one of our el salvadorians say how much he loves us because he is in our country and we are learning to speak his language! i love the spanish language so much! this week we are planning to only speak spanish and i seriously can't wait!!

 

Thats about all i have that was interesting and good this past week! it was kind of a rough week for us but this one will be better! Love you all! The church is true!! SHARE THE GOSPEL!
