Monday and Tuesday I was with Elder Wells and we get along great. We had a family home evening with a member and they gave us food. We were dead for the next 2 days. You really don't appreciate what it feels like to feel normal until you're sick and dying. It was bad, but we got over it.
We are working hard and finding a lot of great people. About 2 months ago we asked a person who didn't want to listen to us if they knew anyone who was through hard times. He told us about a certain house. We passed by but no one was there, then again and talked to a man, but nada. We were walking by there last Friday and I felt sooooo strong to knock the house again. We found this little old lady and she wanted us to come in but we have rules so we came back with a member 2 hours later. Her husband just died a few months ago after 55 years of marriage and it destroyed her, absolutely destroyed her. We taught her the plan of salvation and through her tears she thanked God over and over for sending us to her house. She came to church on Sunday and fell in love with all of it and she is so excited to come back and to learn more. Her name is Gerimillina and she"s wonderful.
We had 2 baptisms this week!!! Jesus and his mom Celia. President Stauffer was there and it was incredible - such a privilege to have them. His wife gave a talk on the Holy Ghost that was great. I know they are called of God and that this work is true. I love this mission with all my heart and I love all of you. Thank you for everything!!!!!
Please please pray for Anna Maria Conisla and Marina. Thank you!!
We climbed the mountain again because it was a clear day and it was amazing. I just feel so at home in the mountains - I love them.
Love,
Elder Nielsen
