El Eden Times! (What ever that means?)


Hi family!! How is everyone? This week has been good! I don`t know if
I told you last week about the guy who came running up to us wanting
to know more about the church? Well his name is Jose and we started
teaching him this week! He is crazy into learning and he loves
learning about religion and it is so fun because he knows english so
he likes us to teach in english. Well the problem is I have only
taught in spanish and every gospel related word comes to my mind in
spanish! So trying to teach in english is the funniest thing ever
because I can`t think! I have to talk so slow and I sound so lame and
cheesy! Most of the time it comes out half english half spanish! It`s
terrible. I am scared to see how my homecoming talk turns out! I`m
going to have to write it all out before hand and just read it cause I
won`t be able to think in english! Anyway he seems really interested!
He basically knew everything before we even taught him so now he just
has to gain a testimony and come to church and he is set! He came
yesterday with his cute little boy so we will have to see what he
thought!
We are also teaching the wife of a recent convert! Her name is Karmen
and the first night I got to the mission we went to visit them and she
was so not happy with her "esposo". They aren`t married but it`s gonna
happen soon! Anyway she just was not a happy lady! They have 4 little
kids and they moved out but they are here visiting and now we are
teaching her! She is a completely different person! Happy all the time
and loves coming to church and she wants to get baptized! So we are
working on getting them married so they can all live together! Jose
(the "husband") is so happy! He`s like a teenage boy! This has been
his biggest wish! We are excited for them!
We are also teaching a little 11 year old boy- Eddison- who`s mom is a
member but she was inactive and he never got baptied. But they started
coming back to church and he wants to be baptized! They live out of
our area during the week and live here on the weekends so it`s kinda
hard to teach him. They live an hour away too. But we are figuring it
all out! The mom is so excited!
So yesterday we were contacting and we got to this house and a lady
answered who had some mental issues but we talked to her for a while
and then as we were leaving a girl was hanging out the window saying
No Gracias!! She had special needs too. So I don`t know if there is
someone living there taking care of them or what but I want to find
out and see how I can help them! I will probably have to wait until
after the mission to do something but I don`t know know! Maybe I can
talk to the hummanitarian missionary couple!
We get to have a specialized traning tomorrow for just the sisters!!
I`m so excited to see everyone! All the sisters but one from my
district at the MTC are here so it`s a lot of fun! I will tell you all
about it next week! Thank you for everything you all do for me! I
couldn`t be here without you! xoxoXo
Love forever and always,
Hermana Nelson
