Crime Bluff

Dear Mom, 

Our week went really well, we taught lots of people and found lots of new investigators to teach. This week we had what was called a Polar Vortex. Some kind of cold front that hit us so it has been 60 to 70 degrees and no humidity. It has been so nice. We were spoiled so now that it is getting Hot we are going to hate life! So my camera, something is wrong with the computer inside there, it will take pictures but the screen that you are able to see what you are taking a picture of is pure white. Best Buy told me to send it back in. But i have been camera less for awhile and have no camera. I might be getting transferred next week so i want to be able to take some pictures before i leave! 

Oh yes i have been getting the kids letters, they are awesome. I can't believe they can write their name and draw and stuff, they are still 3 to me. 

Well this week we did some great work. Probably the most funny or exciting thing that happened was that we witnessed a drug deal haha. We teach some people at this super sketchy apartment complex and you just see this guy knock on the door of an apartment, then he slips the money under the door. Then, he talks through the window (probably like a drive through pick up haha) and then the guy hands him the stuff through the window. 

Then also this week i went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders, i went down to Pine Bluff Arkansas, also known as Crime Bluff. So i was with Elder Soleberg and we were walking down the street when this car pulls up and this Black guy sticks his hand out in the shape of a gun and yells "Give me all ya got!" it scared the crap out of us. Then he was like, "whats good guys?" and we were like what the crap. He asked us how he could get a name tag like ours and i told him that he would need to join the church and then go on a mission., he thought that was funny. Then we started talking gospel and he asked the question, "where does Satan live exactly?" and we were like we aren't sure where exactly he is. Then he said and pointed at Elder Soleberg, "the devil is in all of us, your the d*$n Devil!" it was so funny! The guy called us missionaries devils! haha. Only in the South. So that was about our week, nothing "too" crazy, just the usual.

Yeah so i am kinda thinking that i am going to be transferred next week, i have been here 6 months. Long time. But yeah things are going great, loving it. if you could send the old camera and all of the chargers and stuff that would be great! 

Thanks Mom you are awesome! Love yall. 

Love Elder Nielson 

Super Vegan

Hey Mom,

Holy Crap I feel like the kids are just sky rocketing and growing up! they can ride bikes now?? what in the world... That is so crazy.

Well my week has been a tough one. We worked really hard and just could not get anyone to progress this week. Dang people and having their own church they go to! But its alright, we will keep working.

Elder Johnston is really good, we get along great! we are having fun times. We are just trying to figure out how to get people to progress.

We are teaching this awesome little family of a girl and 4 kids. They are solid it is just that she is really flakey. We are still working with them. We had another crazy dinner at this families house that are super freaks about the word of wisdom. They are "RAW" which is like super vegan.... you know I love that. I am just choking down their vegan lasagna and salad. Then the girls are crazy and just like to yell when they talk... it was a long dinner... and then on the ride home their tire blew... I mean blew! They are a big family so they drive a Mercedes bus to haul all of them and the tire blew! We were with them all night while they tried to fix the tire... my head hurt so bad when I got home. Vegans and loud kids, just my kinda peeps. It was a crazy week. But other than that it was alright. Thanks for all you do and I love you. Let me know if you got those pictures. I am going to try to take the camera that isn't working to best buy and see if they can fix it. I will talk to yall next week!

Elder Nielson.

Cut short on time again this week, super busy. Everything is good though!

Mentos and coke

So this week was a tough one! why... cause bike week! ahhh. We went over 25
miles one day, that was a long day. Oh and also it has been super humid!
You never get used to it!
Soo since we "technically" cant play with fireworks we went out and got
mentos and coke! It was crazy!
Thanks for my 1 year package it was great! I think that you think that i am
super fat cause i had to go exchange  for a smaller size haha. But
thanks for the thought! Love ya.
It is crazy hearing how everybody back home is doing different things.
Well i need to go but i had a great week and i am officially over a year
now! crazy.
Take care, love all of you. Thanks for everything!
