7/3/17 - Working Hard and Learning A Lot

This week was solid. We are working hard and learning a lot. My comp and I get along great. We are working hard and even though we are trying to do everything we can we can always do better, we can always learn more. 

I've talked about it before, but I have like an obsession with reading now. I could read for hours and hours. What a blessing to be a missionary and have your whole life dedicated to the work. Time is flying and it makes me sad it's going so fast. 

Marina doesn't want it anymore. She talked to her neighbors and they blew up on her, started telling her every anti- mormon thing you can think of. We sat there for an hour and cleaned up every single doubt she had but still she is done. They told her she is going to die alone and no one is going to talk to her ever again. It breaks my heart, but we know she knows it's true so we can't and won't lose hope.

We had visitas de trabajo con Elder Staten and he's the best. We get along great and we taught his investigators who were just baptized on Saturday. They have 2 orphans from Brazil who live with their family. They are so funny- the 11 year old boy's Spanish still isn't very good. It's nice to have someone understand how I feel. 

I have sent a pic of the northern part of our mission. We got lost trying to find an address - directions here legit make no sense. It's so frustrating.  Brigham Young and the grid system win hands down man. 

Love you all!!

Love,

Elder Nielsen
