Raining LITERALLY all day

Hey Mommy,

Oxford is doing great, i love it here, it is the best area. Um transfers is after general conference. I am not sure if i am getting transfered they dont tell you till the day before. I am pretty sure that i will be staying here and elder clason will go somewhere else cause he has been in oxford for 9 months. So i am hoping that i will stay here!

Haha i miss the babies so much ( i guess they arent babies anymore really) but i miss them. Bubba and Brynlee look from the pictures like they are changing so much already. I dont like it i want them to stay small so i can throw them around and play with them! i guess i will have to wait till i have my own kids haha.

Yeah i got the package this week, yeah my companion and i loved it we ate it all in 2 days so that is saying something.

So this week was a slow week, all of our new found investigators didnt answer the door so we had a pretty annoying week. This week has been pretty hott till friday, friday was awesome! It rained LITERALLY all day and night. And we didnt have the car this week so we were stuck walking about 5-8 miles that day to our appointments. We were soooo soaked. But i looked at it this way... at least im not hott and sweaty, im just wet, and when its warm and raining, you cant tell what is water on you and what is sweat so it just doesnt matter haha! That whole day no one answered the door, no one wanted to talk to us cause of the weather. So around 730 or 8 we were sick of it so we went home and decided we were going to run out our frustration in the rain. We went for a run around town while it was pouring rain. It was crazy. In oxford they have to have like thousands of canals and ditches to direct the water out of the town and off the streets because the rain storms down here are like nothing else anywhere. They are intense! so what we did was walk through a ditch with water up to about our shins and just were trying to have a fun time. It was sweet! Running in the rain and splashing in the puddles was cool. It is crazy the things you have to do to have fun as a missionary, it really differs from being home. That running would not be fun while i was at home but since i am on my mission it is fun... weird. So that is that for the week, hope things are going well. Tell Bubba and Brynlee Hi! miss them, and i miss everyone, all my friends and family. Thanks for all the support. love Elder Nielson.
