Whats crackin'? Things are going good. Yep yesterday was 4 months for me, still i feel like a young one, and that i know nothing, but it will get better. So on Halloween we went to the Oxford ward Trunk or Treat, it was fun, i went around to all the cars and i said "I am a Jehovah's Witness, Trick or Treat!" Which is funny cause the J dubs do not believe in holidays at all! haha. Guess you just had to be there. Other than that we did nothing all day except walk around or go see members, it is not a real productive day for missionaries. So Yeah i have had plenty of District meetings, we have meetings every week. It is Either District meeting, Zone Meeting, Specialized Training, or Transfers once a week. What we do at those is just do training and help each other out. So about the temple, usually you only go before your mission in the MTC, and then right at the end of your mission, so i won't get to go for awhile unless it is a special occasion.
Haha that is some funny stories about Camden and Brynlee, they seem like they are growing up so much! I don't remember them ever being able to talk so well or anything. To me they are never going to grow up, they are still 3 year olds that cause havock.
Sorry i am not writing you back letters mom, i just have like no time at all on my hands, it really sucks.
So this week was a hard week, we were just so sick of the week we wanted it to be over. 3 times this week with 3 different people. So the first guy, his name is Bill. He randomly came to church and stayed through all of it. We asked if we could stop by tuesday night, and he said of course. We get to his house and he just starts going off on what he believes. This man Bill believes in the Tora, or the first 5 books in the Old Testiment. So what that means is that he lives the old law, or the Law of Moses. The Law of Moses was before Christ's time here on earth where they did sacrifices, they stay away from pork, they don't eat shelfish, and they do a lot of weird things, it was meant for the time of Moses. So we asked him to try and see if he fully lives the law of moses if he still sacrifices lambs? He said oh yeah i do i have video evidence of me sacrificing lambs. We were stunned, i wanted to literally puke. This guy still thinks it is ok to sacrifice, first of all he has no Authority to sacrifice and second it probably is illegal. He is crazy, he also un-patronized from the U.S. and is a citizen of the house of israel. He is just way out there. And to make it worse, we are meeting with him tonight to throw down and talk to him about the Book of Mormon and how Christ was the great and last sacrifice. Then on Saturday we ran into 2 people that live the Law of Moses and they just talked at us for 45 minutes about how it is right. I HATE people just talking at me, it is such a waste of my time. I am here to talk about the Book of Mormon and how i know it's true... not about you and your killing lambs and throwing away a good slab of Bacon. Geeeez! Some People. Sorry i went on a rampage there but we are not trained on how to approach people like this that do not believe in Jesus Christ but believe that they can do it themselves. This is the South, everyone loves Jesus! Jesus wakes them up every morning and does this and that... haha Baptists are crazy as well.
Well enough of me going on about the dang law of Moses. Things are going good here, i am trying my best to learn the scriptures to the best of my ability. Thanks so much for all you do Mom, you are the Best Mom i have ever had! Thanks to everyone. Love Jesus.
Love you, Elder Nielson
(loving Elder Nielson smile, he looks so happy)
