Today my letter is in Spanish because I love you all!

(Translation Below)

Esta semana ha sido genial! Escuchamos a Elder D Todd Christofferson!  Y fue increíble que ahora es uno de mis favoritos! Ni siquiera se inicia con un tema que acaba de hacer un Q & A y respuestas con esas grandes palabras! Tocó mi corazón! No es broma una cosa que él dijo que me gustaría compartir con todos ustedes es que él dijo "cuando pecamos sabiendo que es malo es como abofetear a nuestro señor en la cara!  Decimos eh señor que voy a hacer esto y usted paga por ello!

Estoy tan feliz que era capaz de compartir estas cosas con nosotros también era hilarante se burlaba de todo el mundo y sus bromas eran de lo mejor no es broma todo el mundo estaba muriendo probablemente porque como misionero de nosotros nunca reímos, pero fue bueno! Creo que él sabía lo necesitábamos!

Lunes Bueno pasado fue divertido, nos lo pasamos tan divertido en el centro de estaca de nuevo!
Tuvimos un gran tiempo en el distrito cumpliendo nuestro líder de distrito es el anciano español y todos sabemos lo mucho que los españoles les gusta salir de fiesta por lo que podemos adivinar un poco cómo se van reuniones distritales! Jajaja!  También yo y mi compañero nos llevamos un poco mejor que hemos
disfrutado de algunas risas entre sí que es bueno!

Tuvimos una fiesta de Navidad en la iglesia era muy lindo los niños pequeños eran tan lindo y me recordó a todos mis sobrinas y sobrinos que los amo y espero que todos ustedes están dejando saber cuánto los amo!

Y ayer nos fuimos a cantar villancicos en un hogar de ancianos que era una maravilla encanta esa gente!

Ha sido una locura últimamente causa que no tienen a nadie en la piscina investigador por lo que hemos ido encontrando y que realmente tienen que confiar en el espíritu y ha sido impulsar mi fe!  Te quiero todo y estoy muy agradecido por los maravillosos regalos que he recibido yo amo a todos y no puedo esperar a Navidad para hablar con usted.

Sorry for doing this just thought it would be funny!

(TRANSLATION):
This week has been wonderful!  We listened to Elder D Todd Christofferson and it was incredible!  He is now one of my favorites!  He started with a theme and then ended with Q&A and the answers were amazing!  It touched my heart!  Not even kidding about one thing that he said that I'd like to share with you guys.  He said that when we sin, knowing it's bad, it's like slapping our Savior in the face!  We say "hey man, I'm going to do this and you pay for it!"

I am so happy that he was able to share these things with us! Also, it was hilarious and he was totally making jokes that were so funny!  As missionaries we don't laugh a lot so it was great... I think he knew we needed that!

Well last Monday was fun! We had so much fun at the stake center again.  We had a great time in the District celebrating our District Leader's birthday!  He's Hispanic and we we all know how much the Hispanics love to party and celebrate (we can tell from how our district meetings go hahaha)!  Also, my companion and I are getting along a little better and have had some good laughs together!

We had a Christmas party in the church that was really nice!  The little kids were so cute and reminded me of my nieces and nephews that I love and I hope you are all reminding them how much I love them!

Yesterday we went caroling at a nursing home which was wonderful!  I love all the people there!

It has been crazy lately because we do not have anyone in the investigation area so we've been finding and you really have to rely on the Spirit and it has been boosting my faith!  I love you all and I am very grateful for the wonderful gifts I've received!  I love you all and cannot wait for Christmas to talk to you.

The future of the World!

Thought that title was pretty legit! 

So this week has been really fun! I have enjoyed learning from my new companion!  He is very obedient and lives his life in a perfect path which a lot of you may know I'm not perfect so I'm working really hard on trying to be more obedient! I'm gonna talk about Obedience real quick... it's something that we all hear everyday in the mission field. Everyone is working on it and tries to prefect it! I'm gonna invite all my family and friends at home to think of one thing that you can be more obedient on - nothing to crazy and then next week when everyone writes me like they always do:O remember to let me know how you did on that thing! I'm just trying to not justify everything I do disobedient.  It's really hard and I would love some thoughts on how you overcame these things! Also, I want everyone to know I'm not like super disobedient but when you're in the mission field you look at ever little thing so thanks!!

On to the week.  This last Monday we went to the stake center and met up with the whole zone!  It wasgreat!   This zone is pretty sweet! We played volleyball and chair soccer and a little broom hockey! We had a blast! 

I got to go on a exchange with the Spanish elders that was sweet!  We went around and talked to all the Spanish people and I pretty much just sat there and smiled and said a few Spanish words here and there! And some times I would imagine them talking about something totally hilarious and would just bust up laughing! It was a great exchange! We found out that Elder Christofferson is gonna speak to us this Saturday!  The mission is flipping out! I'm enjoying all the excitement! 

We have been really working on sharing the message about Christ and his brith. I'm sure most of you have seen the video but I would invite you to share it! #sharethegift 

Sorry I don't have a lot to write about this week.  We have been trying to find new people to talk to so mostly walking around and thinking of neat ways to find if anyone has any ideas I would love them! 

Thanks 

Love Elder Nelson

This week!!! HE is the Gift!! #sharethegift

Wow what a fun week I have had!  

I have been transferred to......... Greenesboro!!  It's a ritzy place! I believe the LDS guy that wrote the Enders games series lives here which is dope!  I guess he doesn't like missionary's cause they only want to talk
about his books!

Anyways my address is 2400 lake Brandt place apt O, NC 27455.

So, I have a new companion and his name is Elder Smith. He is from Seattle and loves being a Mormon!!  He loves singing hymns in different languages and studying fun facts about the LDS faith! He has been out for about a year and we're pumped for this transfer!!  I'm sure I'm gonna learn a lot from him!

So this month we're gonna focus all our time on sharing He is the Gift video. We are getting pass along cards for it. We are supposed to pass out 10 cards a day which is gonna be tough, but I think it will help motivate the work!!

My new apartment is sweet and we have a cozy hot tub and an indoor pool and an outdoor pool! A very nice workout room and very nice people! Fyi I don't get into the hot tub and pools they just look nice!

We had Thanksgiving at the Hardy's. He is from Jordan, Utah I believe and not sure where she was from.  They had two sets of twins... a set of boys and a set of girls.  They were so cute and I enjoyed the love they had
for me!

We have some great plans this month for Christmas and I would invite all of you too share the He is the Gift video!!!  It's gonna be sweet!

Anyways, I'm excited for this new area and I will try to send some pictures today. I just forgot my cord and stuff kinda like my brother.

Anyways, I'm thankful for all of you and the motivation and support you give me!!

Love elder Nelson!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hi Sis. Nelson - My name is Jennifer Hardy. We had your son over today for Thanksgiving dinner. I wanted to share some pictures and a hello from North Carolina. He was just transferred to our area, we are excited to have him here in Summerfield.  I hope your Thanksgiving is wonderful! I sent Elder Nelson home with a lot of leftovers - we so enjoyed having him in our home today!

Here's my weekly letter to all my loved ones!

Here's my weekly letter to all my loved ones!

Well I would like to start off with saying I have loved the area I have served in and have learned a lot here! Now I am moving to another area ... I am getting transferred! Yay!  I'm excited for the first move in the mission field! I am jacked up to move on! This area has been great but
it's time for me to learn some more somewhere else!  Anyways I will be leaving tomorrow!


So this week has been pretty good! It's been pretty slow but I have been able to really connect with the members.  Hopefully, after I leave this area, the missionary's will be able to really use the members!  It's kinda sad but I'm happy with it!

They had me share my testimony yesterday and I noticed how much it has
grown! I was kinda blown away by my self #nottoboast but really it was
good and all the old lady's were so sad.  Guess I'm a moms kid!  They're all
fighting over dinner appointments! #ladysman! Jk
But really they're great!

Well we helped sister brown with her walls to make them a brighter white and sprayed bleach all over and ruined my shoes😡 but it's alright... I don't mind.
Fyi I got that Bahamas hat at a garage sale last Saturday morning.  We
were trying to find some people...

My weekly post

Well, I took like 10 - 15 minutes trying to start this gig and it's probably the most stressful thing I do out here in the mission field but I'm ready now.

So this week started off very slow.  On Monday we didn't have any plans and
as a result we cleaned the house like we are supposed to! Next comes
the crazy Tuesday's... president calls and wants to talk with us😨 Don't
worry...he just wanted to interview us so that was neat we were able to
have some good one on one with him!

Well on Wednesday we met this guy named Cody! He seemed so into our
church it was a little suspicious but don't worry I was on the case. 

Then on Thursday we went back to visit him when we got there we noticed a certain man with him that looked like a baptist preacher😱. That's right - we were set up!  They wanted to bash us with there bibles but me and Elder Smith were able to take control and calm them down!

Good news we were able to set a baptism date with Max and he is a 5
out of 5 so it's gonna happen!!!! Yay! We're very excited for him!

Umm this sweet winter storm kinda came through and it got really chilly the last couple days but it was exciting cause I got to show my winter blood and be like "I'm warm I lived in Utah!" Hahaha

Okay so we had a dinner appointment at sister Chues this week.  She has
7 children under the age of 10😁 holy smokes are they nuts!  She is so
nice and so are her children but they were freaking nuts! I kinda
thought they were monkeys because they would surround me and then they
would run off with like my name tag or my iPad! And just play with it
and laugh and then bring it back then they would do it again and
attack me.  Anyways, sister Chue is only 29 years of age and is doing really good for having 7 kids destroy her house everyday!

Anyways sorry for the short letter but hope all is well! Love Elder Nelson
Thanks again for all the love I receive from you all!

My message

This last week has been great I'm really excited! Here is my life in a short letter😁

So this Monday we hiked up to the beautiful mountain called table rock! 

Because of this hike I was not available to message all of you.  I truly am sorry. I know for most of you my letter home is the high light of your week! 

So I'm gonna tell you all about my district.  First of all my comp is great and a lot like me! Home schooled, has issues with horses and cat hair! Just kidding.  I'm gonna start my letter off with a joke to help lighten the day! 

So on Wednesday we had some extra time so we decided to knock on a couple doors and turns out most of them were southern baptists people😱 I had no clue! Anyways, we said we didn't like this area so we drove for awhile and I decided to stop and knock on a couple doors! We skipped a couple houses and went strait up to this house and turns out she was looking for a sign😇 and not to boast but that was us!😌 Anyways, we have been teaching her and having a lot of success! Yay! We enjoy people that want to hear from us! 

On other exciting news, a member we have been teaching, well his son wants to be baptized🙏 

We're very excited because he is a really good guy!

We had stake conference and all the missionary's in the hickery zone went to sing in it and had a blast! They talked about how as a member we need to do more to help with the missionaries! 

And if anyone in Arizona area meets an Elder Maltba make sure you tell him where I am because his lovely parents are very supportive of us missionary's! 

So my companion is singing in this big event called the Messiah! I will not be so I'm gonna be enjoying the beautiful practices on Sunday's for about 2 hours.  They really are something else and they will be performing in a lot of different baptist churches around here and I will be using that time to share our message to all those not of our faith!

Anyways, thanks for writing me and keeping me in you're prayers! 🙏 

Peace from your boy Elder D. Nelson 👼
