So transfer calls were today, this has been the awaited day the whole week! The AP's call between 6:30 -7:30 in the morning. So we were waiting. We had already guessed that Elder Clason has been here to long and that he was leaving and I was staying. The call came at 7:10. Elder Adams our AP calls and says that Elder Clason is leaving and going back to Arkansas. So i am staying in Oxford, I had a feeling i was staying here anyways. I am taking over the area now, getting a new companion and i am only 3 months out, pretty crazy. It came all to fast. So go ahead and send what you want to cause i probably will stay in Oxford for another 3 months i am guessing.
Yeah Nick (9 years old) was baptized on Saturday by yours truly. He received extra blessings because i dunked him 2 times. Elder Clason failed to mention that you have to say, "being commissioned of Jesus Christ" so i had to do it again. But all worked out and he was baptized! It was an awesome experience for my first time.
Conference was good. It was broadcasted to the church in Oxford. Us, the sister missionaries, and the member that drove us there were the only ones that came and watched conference at the church. We watched all 10 hours right in the chapel, it was a long weekend but it was still a vacation from doing missionary work i guess. And that quote from Elder Uchtdorf was one of my favorite quotes, "Doubt your Doubts, before you Doubt your Faith." I also liked Jeffery R. Hollands quote of, "If the bitter cup doesn't pass, Drink It." he is a boss and straight throws down in his talks.
Yeah the Recorder i bought is working great, i have recorded some good stuff! i love it, it also plays music so that is nice.
Everything is going good here! Thanks for the packages and letters that you send me! I am nervous to take over the Oxford area but i am excited as well! Love you all.
Elder Nielson
