HELLO!
Well that was a journey through that letter! haha. I am glad you guys got to go camping and have a fun time! i miss the babies like crazy! How do they like the jerseys? i loved those jerseys so i had to buy them so they could remember me! Yeah all that lady said is correct in arkansas... but mississippi, is worse. haha. No but the college town that i am living in is so awesome! like i want to live here it is so nice and so green! i have never in my life seen so much trees and vines growing on the trees in my life! It is insane! so many trees! so many black people! and so hot! and so humid ! it stinks really bad, i want it to get cold! but yeah. I want you to look up this scripture... JOHN 14:27 it is a really good one.
Story of the week: This week was one of the hardest weeks ever, we had nothing going on. Lots of our appointments dropped, and we had to do a lot of finding. We did exchanges and that screws everything up. I was in charge of the Oxford area with a companion from another area. it was a big job. So this week is hard. In a couple weeks, we get sister missionaries which is gonna stink. They will be in our area and we will have to share the car, meals, members and everything with them. I just hope they arent weirdos too haha. But anyways the one good thing of this week was on friday... One of our investigators made a bet with us. Their names are the Griffens,they are a wicked sweet family! He said if we will bike to his house from the church he will make us an amazing steak dinner. Well the trick is... it is a 22 mile bike ride to his house in the middle of no where!! so we took on the challenge and headed out that day. We needed to get there at 5. one hour and fifteen minutes in we have ridin 12 miles, it is 430. IT was the hardest bike ride ever. i was so tired, it was so hott that day and so humid! sweat was everywhere sweat shouldnt be! it blew. But he said get in the car, since you rode 12 miles i will still feed ya! and we were so excited! it was one of the most delicious meals ive had since ive been here, i still dont know if it was worth it. But anyways, id like to send a challenge to ya'all that are reading this here story. Ezra taft Benson said that the sin that we would all be guilty of as mormons or of any religion would be the sin of ingratitude. I heard this and i was like crap! this is so true. We take a lot of things for granted and dont say thanks. So this week, take one of your prayers, and say nothing but thanks in this prayer. Nothing! make it a meaningful prayer, think hard on what your thankful for. You will realize that you are so blessed in your life. And then say thanks to the man upstairs! Be good everyone, love Jesus, and stay classy San Diego! Also here is an awesome scripture to look up, JOHN 14:27
Thanks mom for all you do! Thanks for the packages, and i know i will like the pants you got me. LOVE ALL YA'ALL!!!
Peace be unto you. Love Jesus. Love ELDER NIELSON
