1/22/18 - Families Can Be Together Forever

WE HAD A SEALING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! About 6 months ago we baptized a little girl whose parents where inactive. We helped them get back into it and this week we were able to go to Lima and to the temple for their sealing. IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!! Families can be together forever and man, it's the best thing in the whole world. I just love salvation - it just makes me so happy. I didn't want to leave the temple. Man, did I take the temple for granted living in Salt Lake. It's about 5 hours to go to the temple here and at home I lived within 15 minutes. It's crazy how not having something really puts things into perspective. 

We've had a rough time with our other investigators. The aunt of familia Vargas came and just destroyed it all. It's so hard when you KNOW its going to help them and strengthen their family and people just want to blow it all up. It's okay, I'm learning more about patience than ever before. I can't even imagine how the Savior felt, a perfect person living in such an imperfect world. 

I love this mission. I love President Stauffer. I love this church. I love Peru. Thanks to everyone who helped get me here!!

Love,
Elder Nielsen
