Ghetto basketball

Hey Mommy, 

Things are going great here. Yeah we are finally working and getting some things done. We had a pretty good week! Found some new investigators and set some dates. Sadly no one was able to come to church. They say it right to your face that they will come and that you can call them and pick them up in the morning but they lie to you haha. Elder Johnson is doing good i guess, he sent me an email today saying that he found a job and is just waiting for school and track to start up, so we will see what happens with him. He was pretty dang excited to go home. Which is sad, but all is well in Zion! 

The ward is getting a little better, they are feeding us and seem to be doing pretty good! Last night we had a massive thunderstorm, there was severe flood warnings and things were going crazy. The streets were flooded pretty bad, the car was having water come over the hood. Oh and yeah we got a new car, we are driving a 2014 toyota corolla, it is way nice! 

So this week we were walking past these ghetto basketball courts, they are under an overpass, and we saw some black dudes playing basketball. So we decided that we would ask them if we could play with them! They looked at us and said you are going to play us in that? We were in full pros shirt and tie. WE said Heck yeah and we started to play them. We lost the first by 1 point and won the next game by 5 points. Then the next day we saw some different guys playing so we played them. We beat them 2 games in a row! It is awesome, we are going to get well know at those basketball courts! I will have to send a picture next time of the basketball courts. 

I hope all is going well at the Nielson home. Things are going pretty great here. Have you asked Grandpa about the Book of Mormon? How are they doing? How is the truck? Anyway i hope that we have a great week this week and can get some great things done. 

Love you, and have a great week! Love Elder Nielson
