COLD

Hey Mom,
This week was a good week for us, we found a lot of new investigators to
start teaching so that is really good. The Zone had 2 baptisms and 1
confirmation this week. It was a little down but we will kill it the next
few weeks. Elder Jackson and i have not personally baptized this month. The
People that were looking to get baptized kinda fell off the face of the
earth! Waysee is working a lot so we have not been able to see him but are
still trying to work with him and Lisa to be baptized the 29th. They need
your prayers.
This week was COLD! Just outta no where it got down to 28 degrees. No where
close to Idaho but with the Humidity in the air the wind that blows feels
like a cold knife just stabbing into you! I know that is Gory but it is
that cold! Good thing we have coats and sweatshirts. I am really missing
the snow though, i saw the pictures and i really wanted to go snowboarding!
AHH! The Doctor went good, they did the procedure and then said i was good,
i have a follow up next week.
So kind of a funny story this week, Elder Jackson and I and the other
Elders were driving to a dinner appointment down this narrow road in Pine
Bluff. We were going about 25 miles an hour, we had just made a right turn
and were speeding up. All of a sudden we see this black figure jump in
front of the car and SMACK! we hit it and it went under the car and out the
back, Elder Jackson slowed down and we all were like, we just hit a dog! we
thought it was under the car, when all of a sudden we see it running right
besides our car like it was trying to race us! It was dang funny. No dents,
no death, just a heck of a hard hit! Somethings on a mission are so much
more funny than in real life, some of the things that happen are so dang
funny here, and then i think that if i was home, this wouldn't be that
funny.
I got a letter from Brynlee this week, it made my day. She is dang good at
writing and spelling! Tell her that i loved it and that i love her and miss
her too. It is nice to get a letter every once in awhile. I hope all is
going well in the family, I love you all and wish you the best! I pray that
things will continue to get better. Sorry for all the craziness going on.
Love you and i will hear from you next week!
Elder Nielson
