6/19/17 - I Love It So Much

This week was fantastic!!! We had transfers and I'm still here thankfully. I got a new comp and his name is Elder Imana and he's from Bolivia (like all my comps besides 1) and has 3 months in the mission. I'm also District Leader which is fun and should be a very great experience to grow and learn more about my Savior. 

I bought a huge pineapple out of the back of a truck for 2 soles which is less than a dollar and it changed my life. Never change Peru.

We baptized Pablo this week!! It was so incredible! He was all smiles the entire time and his testimony was so powerful. He held up his Book of Mormon and was like "I know this is true, I know Christ lives and this is His church." There is honestly nothing like hearing a convert testify of the very things you know are true. 

Time is flying here in Zapallal - the mission in general is flying by so quickly. I love it so much. It's so hard but it's so great. A funny story this week was we taught this old man from the mountains. He was like "I love church because I love to sing. Wait right here." He ran into his back room and came back with a himno book and started to sing. He then burst into tears while singing but kept right at it so he's just crying and singing and his eyes are closed and honestly, it really was so sweet and I feel blessed to have been there.

We have 2 more baptisms this Saturday. Please pray for Moises and Jesus. Also Eddy Conisla. Thanks for everything!!!

Love,

Elder Nielsen
