Baptism

Hello my people! I love God!! And he loves me! 

This week has been great #likealways! 

Powerful contact! We were contacting the other day and decided to knock upon a door we felt prompted to do so... As the door opened the woman told us she is studying with the Jehovah Witnesses and so we knew we were sent and started to share a powerful first lesson as she understood what the message was about.  She wanted to study, then comes out her friend from the back room..... "Hi my name is Alma" she quietly said... We looked at each other and decided we needed both! I promise God is helping all of us bring this people to the truth! 

We got the chance to go to a funeral for a recent convert in the ward! It was very sad but exciting cause the opening prayer was by a guy who didn't go to our church and when he said the prayer he was yelling in the mic and I was taken back but I knew that's how some people communicate with God.  I just know my ways in Sacrament service. 

Yesterday was one of the most powerful fast n testimony meetings I have ever been to! Almost everyone was in tears. A story that was shared: there was a family that had a daughter that was about to die she had cancer stage 4 and her parents asked her what she wanted before she died... (They are all members of the church just super less active) she told them she wanted to be sealed in the temple! It was gonna be hard cause she couldn't really walk around so they all got prepared and went to the temple.  She had to ride in ambulance and then they said we will just put the white cloths over top of her body cause she had so many cords and stuff all over her but she insisted on getting into the white cloths so they helped her get into those cloths. As they sat around the alter to be sealed they decided she better not get down on her knees like normal, but she insisted on her kneeling next to the alter! She had to have two people on both sides of her holding her up. As I listened to this story, I feel like I understand how important family's are and being sealed. I miss my family so much I miss my friends so much I can't wait to be back home. Not being able to be with my family in Heaven would be hell! I know God has a plan and in that plan we are meant to be with our family's! I love each and everyone of you so much.  I am eternally grateful for the amount of love you showed me! Thanks for being good to me! Love Elder Nelson
