Hey Mom sorry you had the worst week! Yeah so Elder Smith and i are getting a long great, we are working hard and i am learning a lot! Things are going well. We have another Baptism this Saturday for Nichole. We have been teaching her for like a month now and she finally quit smoking and is getting baptized! We are excited.
There isnt many exciting things to do in Oxford either, there is a Good Will (which is like DI) and there is a lot of expensive stores on the square you can go look at. They have $100 ties! crazy stuff. So we pretty much just sleep on p-days and catch up on a little R&R.
Haha That makes me laugh that Bubba wouldn't do his part in the primary program, what a kid!
Wow there is some crazy things going on in the world that i am totally oblivious to, it is kinda nice sometimes! haha
So this week was pretty good we just were looking for some more people to teach since we have baptized all the ones we were teaching. Things get CRAZY here when Ole Miss is playing, literally there is nothing for us to do, everyone is either at the game, at the grove getting drunk, or at home getting Drunk watching the football game. Everyone's lives revolve around Ole Miss, so they dont want us bothering them. The Town gets so packed, i will send some pictures of it.
Story of the week: Yesterday we were knocking doors in this really rich neighborhood, we knocked on this door and a old lady opens the door. She says that she already has the saviors peace and blessing on her home and that she is very religious in her church. I then asked her, what church do you go to? She then said, "I am a Metho-Baptist." She mixed Methodist and Baptist together, she goes to both churches. She says, there is all types of ways to get to heaven, so i am trying 2 of them... haha dang people out here! They are insane in the membrane!
I also am sending a picture of this massive truck i saw on Ole Miss campus. this thing was HUGE it had at least an 8 inch lift, huge monster truck tires and if you look at it the tires are as tall as the car next to it! And the Black guy in the background lets you know how tall it is! Redneck heaven.
Anyways things are going great here, i am trying to learn all i can before i am left with a new missionary. Hope all goes well.
Um idk what i want for christmas, but i do know i need a nice jacket soon.
Love you Mom and everybody! Thanks for all everyone does! Love Jesus
Elder Nielson
