My Mission

Well, got transferred #whatthe 

9100 Fishers Pond Drive, Apt. E1

Charlotte, North Carolina 28277

So this new place is pretty nice.  There are a lot of rich peeps and its really big!  There are three sets of missionaries here... Another set of elders and some sisters.  Huge ward!  

Thanks for all those who sent me letters.  I'm grateful for them.  I'm sorry I'm writing on this computer and I'm awful at it so its gonna take me awhile #sorry.

It snowed a bit and everyone freaked out.  We went to the store to buy milk and bread.  Its nuts!!!  They think they are gonna die! 

I'm with Elder Hughes from Tremonton.  He's been out for just over a year so were gonna try to kill it in this new area!

We're having a big change with how we use ipads and stuff on Thursday its gonna be sweet!  

Tim got baptized and is having fun back in Summerfield.  Sad to say goodbye, but had to happen.  Hope he's doing well.  Going to try to get a hold of him soon.

I don't need much.  I'm pretty good right now living the dream!

Thanks so much!!  I love you all so much and hope ya'll have a good week!

My Life 3

This week has been pretty good!  We have been teaching Tim and finally got him into the waters of Baptism! Yay!!  It's so very exciting!!  This last Saturday he dove in and has been changed since!  Yesterday he received the Holy Ghost and is now a member of the the church!!

On Wednesday, he was interviewed and shed some tears and really felt the spirit! So happy for him!

Had an exchange with Elder Smith.  He is a newer missionary and just talks with everyone. I'm so bad at that so I'm gonna start working on that.  His name is Elder Gill from Las Vegas! Get this story... so he got called to the same mission as his girlfriend at the time and they had to change it because they both felt like they would mess up.  Super cute huh? I love missionary work!  We learned a lot from each other and met a guy named Jeff who said he was "floating" and I almost lost my pistons #oldslang... but really!  So he said that churches are getting to much into the politics and we talked about how we don't care about that and all the good stuff about our church. He said how you can pretty much do what ever you want to in our church as long as you're living all the commandments and following all the teachings of the church and have a calling and go to the temple on a regular basis and go home teaching and do family history!

Holy smokes it sounds like we're building Gods Kingdom here on earth!  And we are!  Anyways, I love the gospel am grateful for it and all the love you can feel from it!

Transfers are gonna be on Friday for some reason and I don't know if I'm leaving yet so we will see! Hopefully staying!

Thanks for all you do I love you all!
Love elder Nelson

My Life 2

Good week!

After the great p day we exchanged with district leader!  He's great! He's a convert of about 2 years he lived in New Mexico and his parents are Catholic!  He's super great at teaching to people needs.  Some times I get into
this thought process of getting as many teaching lessons as I can and not thinking about people so he helped me with that a lot!

I have restarted the Book of Mormon and am finding a lot of things out!  Its amazing! Frist off, the Book of Mormon is true!  Secend, there is always something to learn from it!  In chapture 7 of 1 Nephi verse 17 we see how much faith he has and how we can use our faith to get out of things that bind us!

We have been blessed to meet with a man named Tim.  He is so great and has change so much the gospel is all about change!  The first time we met him in the church building he probably said the F ward more then 15 times and the other wards came out as much as that one! But he try's not to curse other then the A ward because in the Book of Mormon he found where it said "dumb ass" and jumped all over it!  haha but he's doing great and were very excited to see him get baptized this Saturday at 5 if anyone wants to come #jokesfordays.

Well, I love this gospel!  I'm grateful for all the Savior does for us to help us stay on the true path of righteousness!  I look forward to hear from every one of you!

Thanks for the letters and all the uplifting thoughts I'll continue to push and help people find christ!

Love elder Nelson!
I'll try to send some pictures later!

My Life

This last couple weeks have been great!  We have been able to do some great work here!!

In this month, my comp and I were able to have some of the greatest weeks ever in Summerfield!!  We are excited to have one of our investigators get Baptized on the 14th!

This last week I have been trying to be more bold with everyone! President Craven always says there's no growth
in the comfort zone so I have been putting myself out there to get out of that zone!

There is this wonderful family in our ward that we have been working with there trying to get sealed but the father doesn't want to take anything lightly! So we have been trying to help explain the Melchizedek Preisthood with them!

Also, there is another single mother who has a kid around the age of 12 that we're gonna start helping them have FHE every Wednesday night.  It's great to see our less active family's grow in the gospel!

Our ward is getting pumped for a visit with Elder D Todd Christofferson! I am as well! He's the best!

I'm going on a exchange with the District Leader this week and am excited! We have such a tight group of missionary's over here! it's amazing! I love them all!

I have started the Book of Mormon over and am reading in 1 Corinthians as well.  It is a great book and Paul is sweet but you gotta love the JST!

Anyways, we're having a pot luck zone activity at the church today so I'm gonna take off! I love you all and I'm so grateful for the love and letters I receive from you all! Thanks again!

Love Elder Nelson

Legendary Weeks!

This week has been pretty sweet!  The week started off very slow with a lot of cold weather.  On Wednesday, we received a referral and his name was Tim.  We showed up at his house and no one was there so we started to drive away.  Then he drove past us and waved so we turned around and started to talk with him. He asked us if we could meet at the church so we went to the church and he was pumped!  He told us how his mother's family was a part of the church but he didn't know much at the end of the first lesson.  He beat us to punch and asked us when he can get baptized! We're so excited!  My face went pink and I started to feel the sweat drop down my lower back!! Kidding! But it was great!!  He is on date for the 7th of next month! #prayfortim

Next, we have been teaching a kid named Christian.  He is a former investigator and we had a great lesson with the Reidheads and him! He has told us before how he knows that Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God so we asked him what would be most pleasing to God with that knowledge? He said getting baptized and joining the church. We then Invited him to get baptized next month on the 14th and he said okay and he's going to work for it! Exciting week!!  Then, he went to church the next day with the singles ward and there are a lot more African Americans in that ward so he felt a lot more welcomed.  He told us after he had never learned more in a church then in those 3 hours! (Fyi his dad is a preacher). Anyways, super exciting! Had a fun week knocking around met some really nice people!

I'm doing good and having fun!  My ankle is stronger then ever with the wonderful power of the priesthood!
We also had zone meeting this week and it went great. Love elder Nelson! Also always remember God!!!

A little Christmas afterthought

We got these pictures this week so here's a little more Elder Nelson from Christmas :)

Good weeks!

Hello everyone!  It's so great to be able to share my week with you all!! So last MondayI hurt my ankle playing soccer (fyi almost won #chairsoccer).  Anyways, this week has been slow but nevertheless, we were able to see some old investigators in the area and were able to put their street name into our iPads and come up with everyone that the missionary's have talked with on that street which is sweet!  We were able to find out that one of them has a huge testimony of Joseph smith and knows he is a Prophet of God so we're excited!

We have been showing all the members the Mormon Message New Years - Look Not Behind Thee video and been having them set up goals for this year and it's been great! Also we push for them to invite friends! So
hopefully we will see more missionary work in this area!

We found out that our new mission president and his wife will be coming out in July! So excited!!  Their last name is Alexander and they're from Alpine, Utah! Super excited for them!

Since I have been resting this week, I have blasted through the Book of Mormon and am now in Ether 10!  So exciting!! I love the Book of Mormon and am more excited for people to hear about it!!  Also, I would suggest everyone to pray for the missionary's in Paris...they need your love! Thanks!!

So after hurting my ankle I thought "what is the best way to help my self get healthy again?" I thought of a cane and so I went to the thrift store and got one! Now, after I got one I thought "if my ankle might heal I would never be able to use that cane again" so I decided to use my mind in a way that it hasn't been used in a while! I thought "if I make it into a selfie-stick like my other pole I could keep it forever and use it for a cane/selfie stick for all eternity!"  Now I would like to share with you how that looks! (So excited)!!!

Well, I'm grateful for all the letters and love I receive from you all and encouragement!!  Love you all! Let me know if there is anything I can do!
