Butterflies

Dear Mom,
Well these last 2 weeks have been so crazy! I guess to start off i had a
really good birthday last monday! It was actually dang fun. We played cards
with our recent convert family in the morning and had lots of fun and smack
talk. Katrina told me that you pin money to you that you get to your shirt
and during the day on your birthday people can give you money! it was such
a genius idea! I made 30 bucks from doing that. We hung out at the Reynolds
home that night, hung out with John which is also a recent convert, he gave
me this awesome shirt off of his back haha. I do not feel older just get to
say i am older haha. In the month of March our zone, the Little Rock Zone,
hit the goal of 16 baptisms right on the head, it was awesome! they are
great!  Well here is the craziest part. So i have 2 more transfers left, i
was expecting to get transferred back to memphis to be a zone leader over
there. Friday night i get a text from President, he said to call him as
soon as possible. My heart drops... i thought someone died in the family,
or something crazy was going to happen. It took me awhile to build up the
nerve to call him. i call him and then he asks if we can speak in private.
That just added to the butterflies! He asks me a bunch of questions about
my leadership and how i was able to inspire the zone to hit goals and all
this stuff. I was wondering what the heck was going on the entire time. He
then says, Elder Nielson. I would like to extend the call to be my new
Assistant. BAM! that came out of no where! i go home in 2 transfers, why
would i go Assistant? But i said yes. So Sunday i had to leave at 2 oclock
to go up to LR. I am going back to Pinnacle Mountain also By the way, so it
is to an area that i have already been before. Yesterday all the way to
thursday we have to pick up people, drive across the mission. Send
missionaries home on the plane, pick the new missionaries up... it is a lot
of crazy stuff that i have to do now, we are doing behind the scenes work.
So that is what is up. I am now going to be even more busy! Yesterday we
had no pday at all. But i am very grateful for the opportunity which i have
to be an AP. So that is the news update. I hope you understand all of that
haha. Well i hope that yall have a great week! The baptism of Josephine
went great! i am sad that i left Pine Bluff but i know that i will be back
someday haha. Love you.
Elder Nielson
