All Is Well!!!!


Hi family!! I hope you are all doing well! It sounds like life is
staying crazy! haha Things are going well! We are working hard,
contacting everyone and visiting the members to give us references!
There was basically nothing when we got here so we are starting from
ground zero! Woo!! But there is no where to go but up! Literally! This
area is pure hills and they are kicking my bum! haha My calves are
going to be crazy in shape!
So this week we found Rosario Guerra and her 9 year old son Alexander!
They came to the adult session of stake conference on Saturday and she
absolutely loved it! She was taking notes, asking questions, and
almost cried while the choir was singing! Poor Alexander was bored out
of his mind and slept the whole time! haha But I have high hopes for
her! Although we couldn`t find her on Sunday.. But we are calling her
tonight to set and appoinment so we can set a baptism date; hopefully
she accepts this time! So keep her in your prayers please!!
We are also teaching David, a son of a recent convert. He is 17 and
kind of in that reble stage but he listens and pays attention and he
accepted a date for May 28th. He didn`t come to church though and his
mom is going to be out of town June 4th so he won`t be able to be
baptized until the 11th. So keep him in your prayers also!
We found out at district meeting that President is sending this group
home 3 weeks early because they have to be out of their house the
middle of June so he wants to have the last dinner- that sounds weird
in english- before then. So basically we have 3 weeks left together.
So please pray for us to get a little program going before she leaves!
It is so not fun coming to a new area that you don`t know and not
having anyone to visit. I don`t want my new companion to have to do
that! It is a blessing that this area in neatly oraganized into blocks
so it`s not that hard to get to know; because I only have 3 weeks to
get to know this area before I get a new companion! I am trying hard
not to stress about that! haha
This next week is going to be so great! Tomorrow we have another
conference with just the sisters and Wednesday we have zone
conference! And the rest of the week we are going to find, find, find,
and we are going to be blessed with 4 new families because it is our
goal as a zone to always have 4 families in our program! We have the
Guerra Family so now we have to find the other 3 who are waiting for
us! And I know the Lord will help us find them because he wants
families to be together forever so why wouldn`t he help us find them?
So if you could also pray for these families we haven`t found yet..
Thank you so much for all of your love and support! I love you all and
I am so grateful for this time I have to be a missionary! I am amazed
at how fast time is flying by and I don`t want to miss a minute of it!
We were talking this week of how this is the only time we have to make
our own stories. No one else is here to experience this with us. We
are living this alone with just us and the Lord and it is such a
wonderful blessing! It kind of feels like a dream because there is no
one else here to live this with me and for everyone else it will only
be a story! But what a great story it will be! I love you all and I am
so grateful for the gospel in my life! Have a great week! xoxoxXo
Love forever and always,
Hermana Nelson
