Tornado clean up


Hey Mom, 

Nope Elder Rushton and i are staying together. We were not sure if we were or not so it will be interesting. This week has been a long week, nothing went good for us which is never fun, but we ended up being able to do service for the tornado victims. Our ward was assigned to an area that wasn't hit as bad as the other areas, yet it was still pretty crazy. I have never seen anything like it. Where we were cleaning up was so close to the members house that we did service for, it literally was down the road a little further. The tornado just leveled houses and trees. It up rooted trees that were 80 feet tall. Cleaning up was a whole bunch of cutting and moving trees so that it doesn't look too terrible. Lots of work. All of it just blew my mind! 

Yeah so that is crazy, Max Fye was in the Oxford ward. I knew their family was moving to Rexburg, she got a job working at BYU-I. Small World. 

Investigators are a little down, it seems that we always baptize our solid investigators then we have to start all over. So we are in that phase of the work right now... finding, yaay! 
The package was great and the shirts fit really well so thanks mom! 
Elder Rushton... We get along most of the time ya know? Just like all companions, when you are around them for 24 hours constantly you get sick of them and annoyed with them super easy haha. So that happens every once in awhile haha. Yeah so we keep on finding these knocked over signs and we just take them to our apartments. We are on a streak! haha. 
Today we got back late to email because i finally went to the temple... it has been 10 months since i have been to the temple! Long time. I was super nervous to go but it was really great! So we just got back, long drive to Memphis. 
Yeah so i guess i am staying here in Pin Mtn. and am still district leader. That is 5 straight transfers (71/2 months) of being the district leader. Crazy. 
So this sunday the plan is that we are going to our ward mission leaders house to skype. We should call about 4 o'clock here, so that is around 3 in Idaho. So expect the call around that time. Hopefully i figure out the information right this time to call you. Also right after that we are eating with our ward mission leader, and with President and Sister Petersen which is pretty exciting! Yeah i really hope that kaesi and hadley can come it would be good to see them! Make sure they are invited!  
Well i hope that all is well back in the burg, i bet our house is the coolest house in the neighborhood with all the cool cars! haha i bet it is lots of fun! Thanks for everything! See you in a week! have a good one! Love Elder Nielson
