One of our best investigators is 18, his name is Elison. He loved our message and had tons and tons of questions. We went over to his house for about the 5th time and his mom came out and BLEW UP at us. She told us to never come back and honestly it broke my heart. Please pray that his mom's heart is softened. I think he will continue to search for the light.
On a happier note, we are teaching a man who's name is Segundo. We taught him the first lesson and he had tons and tons of questions. One of my favorite parts of being a missionary is giving people their first Libro de Mormon. They are sooooo shocked that its their's and they don't have to pay for it. He thanked us over and over again. We came back 4 days later and he had read the first 21 CHAPTERS!!! He is so excited to keep reading and honestly I can't even describe how happy it makes me.
Elder Vaca, Miglionico; Tillman and I are singing in sacrament meeting!!! in English!!! hahahaha its going to be really funny.
When I was in the MTC I bought one of the key rings that roll up and down so you don't have to unclip your keys and I loved it. Friday night I grabbed for it and it was gone. Yeah I lost the keys and the Elders before us lost all 4 sets of extras and never got a spare made. We had a sleep over with Elder Miglionico and Tillman which was really fun but it made me so mad at myself. We have a man in our ward who served 8 years in the military in Iraq and is the nicest guy. His year is almost here so he will be able to go to the Temple soon with his family and we are working with him on that. Anyway, he called us and told us to come home and he found a lock smith, opened our door and changed our lock before we even knew what was going on. He is so amazing I'm so grateful for Hermano Adrian and his family.
We had a family home evening with everyone that lives in our little area. 32 people came and it was AMAZING. I prayed sooo hard to be able to say what I wanted to say and I spoke and bore my testimony and the words honestly came soo easily. I felt the spirit sooo strongly. Afterwards we played games and Abel lost. The losers had to stand in the middle and dance while everyone clapped. Abel who is 72 just broke out dancing and he was going strong!! The president of the primary was laughing so hard she was crying - it was so amazing!!! Next week Abel is going to bless the sacrament and he is really nervous. Please pray for him!!!!!!! I love you all! Thank you for all you do!!!!!!!!
Love,
Elder Nielsen
