My Week

And a big one.  There are like 12 people in it! It's great!   
So this area is pretty nice. I have a cook out right down the road from me so I'll be putting some weight on for sure (fyi cook out is the best). The members are great.  There's a lot of less actives so, as missionaries, we're going to be hunting for a little while!

On Wed we were at this recent convert's house and then we heard a car stuck outside.  So we finished quick and got out side.  It was snowing and pretty cold.  The man had clearly been drinking and was trying to leave the house to get back to his "baby mamas" -no joke. He just tried to drive right through the yard and turns out there's a huge dip in it.  He was pretty funny about it so we gave it some pushes but nothing.  So we thought let's get the car and tie some rope to the bike rack and drag this dude out, but the rope kept breaking.  Any ways, it's now 9:30 and snowing harder.  We told the dude we had to go): no fun ending sorry....

So there is an old time wrestler in our ward.  His fighting name is Barbarian.  He's a huge Poly from Tonga.  He's super old and does camps now but his family is so nice.  His wife always cooks us food and makes sure we're fed so don't worry!

There was a mission conference this last week and we had Elder Schweitzer, a Seventy, come and give us a training on how to use the ipad.  So basically they gave us ipads and let us see what we could do.  Then they figured out better ways so now they have a program that's going to help us so were not going to be using Facebook for the next couple months!  It was a great meeting and was 4 and a half hours long and we have a zone meeting on Friday to figure out more details so were all pumped!  After we try this out, because we're one of the many test missions, their going to make a lot of missions ipad missions!

So after church, we got a member to come with us to see Perry.  He's super nice and we started talking and got into the priesthood and we got to the great apostasy and he lost it!   Where's the priesthood and asking some great question's.  So we told him about JS and set a baptismal date.
I know there are so many people so ready to hear the gospel.  We just need to always make ourselves tools so people don't have to miss out on the blessings we receive!

I love missionary work!

I'm grateful for all those who wrote me and sorry for last week. I was tired and didn't write much.  I'll try to keep it up!
Love you all 
By the way, shot out to mom and Isaac on the bdays. I love you both!
Love Elder Nelson
