Shaken by an Angel

Hey Mom, 

Today is a pretty good day. Right now i am in a Tri companionship! It is weird. Elder Robles a Spanish missionary went home today so his companion has to hang with us until Wednesday. Our week was super rough, it went downhill. Stacy dropped off the face of the Earth! He was like yeah come back Tuesday before i go to school. So we did, he wasn't there. Then we tried Wednesday, he wasn't there. We tried everyday this week. But things will get better. Cora Medlock, a referral from Zetti, is pretty solid. Except she is like scared to come to church or something, so she freaked out and didn't come last minute. So again this week we had 3 people that were supposed to come to church and none of them came. So yeah... missionary work is just something else. Agency is a real big factor on this, people can tell you Saturday night that they are coming to church in the morning, and then not come, not answer their door, it is crazy. 

Then here are the crazy parts... Tuesday we were at Andrew Burdett's house, he is a less active member, he is roomates with our investigator Phillip. We had an appointment with them to just read a little bit. Phillip was in a terrible mood, he didn't want to read, he just sat there with his hood on and stared at the floor. I think Andrew made him be there. We were talking about Alma the younger and how he goes around trying to destroy the church. Then an angel comes and shakes him and tells him to knock it off. So we were reading that and talking about it and then Andrew starts having a seizure! Yes you read right... a seizure. He starts tensing up and just flipping everywhere! We are just dying... what are we supposed to do, we start throwing the furniture out of the way so he doesn't hit them and brake something! What are the odds of us teaching about Alma in the Book of Mormon being shaken by an angel, and then Andrew shaking all over the place?? No idea how that happened. That is something ill never forget. Then on Friday, Elder Johnson was sick so i had to sit around in the apartment all day, it was lame. I looked at the adds that we got in the mail and read everything, watched these really cheesy LDS movies. It was a long day. But After church on Sunday things got better. We went to a members house for dinner and it was really good. They had a 4 year old boy and a 3 year old girl. They reminded me a lot of Camden and Brynlee, i miss them a lot! They are probably growing up way to much. But anyways, 

Today was transfer call day, neither of us got a call so its 6 more weeks in Pinnacle Mountain! Well next time i talk to you i will be 19! weird... i dont feel like i am that old. Well i hope yall have a great week! Thanks for everything. Love yalll!!!! Elder Nielson
