Summer Time!!!!


Hi family!!!!

I can`t believe school is out and summer time is there!! haha What a
great way to start out summer by working!! Work is great! Thank you
Mom and Dad for teaching me how to work! After the work is done, the
play is so much better! So this week was not as great as last week but
it was still good! haha Of all of the families we were blessed to
find, only one is progressing.. Sidenote- sorry I didn`t have much
time to give a lot of detail last week. But anyway the Barrera family
came to church Sunday!!! I was so so happy!! And they came on their
own!! We went to pick up Rosario so we couldn`t go get them. Fun, okay
not so fun story about Rosario. We went to pick her up and she said
she had to go to her sisters house so her nephew who she was bringing
to church could change. So we said okay we can go by their house! So
we got to the bus stop above their house and she said you guys go
ahead because my sister doesn`t like religion and all that. So we said
no we will wait here for you to get back! So we waited and waited for
about a half an hour and during the wait my compaion started talking
to a lady sitting next to her who said she was waiting for a friend to
take her to church! So we waited and when Rosario got back she said
sorry but I can`t go with you because I have to take my friend to
church! She has a disability and can`t walk! So she got on the bus
with her and left us stunned! We couldn`t say or do anything because
we were shocked! It made me so sad! I wanted to cry! She has so much
potential but she hasn`t come to church!! That is the most frustrating
thing here. No one comes to church! So I don`t know what is going to
happen with her. maybe it`s not her time right now, I don`t know. But
we are going to keep working and finding!! But the Barrera family is
so great! The husband Juan still has a lot of doubts but with time and
hard work we will get him there!! So keep them in your prayers
please!! So this week we had the conference that was supposed to be
with Elder Scott but got changed to Elder Gonzalez.. It was good but
not what we were expecting. Everyone was dissapointed Elder Scott
couldn`t come. Of course they are all men called of God and what they
all say comes from Him but still.. a little dissapointing. And it was
supposed to be 4 hours, instead it was two hours. The first hour was
us answering questions they asked us and the second was them answering
questions we asked. I learned a lot though. And it was fun to be with
everyone! The whole mission was together! 200 missionaries looks
smaller than I thought it would! haha So my companion only has one
week left! Next Monday she will be gone! I can`t believe the time is
over already! I`m so sad for her to go! We have been through so much
together and now it`s over and I have to start again with a new
companion! But that`s okay I always end up loving them all! Everyone
is telling me I am going to be training! I guess there are 3 new
Americans coming! I don`t know why everone thinks I will be training
when there are tons more here with more time and there are 5 Americans
who came with me who could just as likely train! Not that I am nervous
about that or anything! haha But whatever happens happens and it will
be the Lord`s will! Well family I love you all! Thank you for
everything!! I love being a missionary!!! Have a great week!! xoxoxXo
Love forever and always,
Hermana Nelson

P.S. If you didn`t hear, Kori had her baby!!!!! WOO HOO!!! Take care
of her for me!! Love you!
