1/23/17- I Testify HE LIVES!

This week was all in all really good. It's getting really. really hot here, but it's not too bad thankfully. My comp and I are getting along really good and we are teaching a lot. We were working with our investigator Ruben, he was supposed to get baptized 2 days ago but went MIA, and then we found him packing. It turns out he is moving in with his dad an hour away. Yeah it's the second time that's happened. It stinks.. Anyways we were talking walking him to the bus and we ran into this amazing amazing family. They were super super sweet and we are going over Sunday! It's so amazing how your whole mission changes when you find a new investigator or family. It brings me such joy.

Elder Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles will be here tomorrow and we have 2 hours with him!! It's legit like Christmas I'm sooo excited. President told us to read his last 3 conference talks and I invite everyone to read them. They are amazing and I testify they are the words of a prophet of GOD. We are so lucky to have them. I was reading his last talk and it sounded really familiar. It turns out I was singing in the mtc conference choir when he gave it!!! My mission has been full of amazing experiences like that and I'm just starting! Man this is the best thing ever!!!

As many of you know I've been reading a lot and I cannot put into words the amount of joy it brings me to learn about my Savior. I testify HE LIVES!!!! This is His church and His work and it's so amazing to me.

Time is flying and that means chambios (transfers). It makes me sad we are losing soo many amazing missionaries. Time goes on though and I hope and pray I will be able to step up and help others like my zone leaders, district leaders, my comp and countless others have helped me.

Thank you for everything everyone and I want to testify that Christ Lives. HE LOVES YOU and HE KNOWS YOU!!!! HE has never asked for anything crazy and HE just wants us to love Him and follow Him. I encourage all of you to get on your knees and ask God the Eternal Father, through the name of his son Jesus Christ if there is really someone up there. I promise you if you pray with your heart, with real intent (meaning you are willing to act on the answer you receive) you WILL receive an answer. Read the scriptures. That promise is everywhere because it's so important and it's so true!! I love you all so much!!!!

Love,
Elder Nielsen
