Family--

Basically Kokomo Indiana is totally awesome, the one ward here is super awesome and so strong. my favorite part so far is that the members tell us to submit a shopping wish list each week and then each sunday the church fridge is packed with food hahaha, its awesome, and along with that we have tons of dinner appointments and the way we get around is a 2008 Chevy Malibu, i gotta say its pritty sweet, and we only have to ride bikes when we run out of miles for the month witch hasn't happened yet. :)

so when we flew in to indiana President Corey, Sister Corey and all the assistents were there to pick us up and guess what? it was raining hard, it was AWESOME, so that night we stayed in Carmel at the mission home (FYI- Carmel is the richest part of all Indiana) and had a few meetings, President Corey and his wife are awesome and so nice. So Wednesday morning we had a ton of pancakes (it reminded me of when Denver cooks) along with interviews and another meeting with some pics, so while we were getting assigned our trainers one of the spanish elders is getting trained by an Elder Busby and that really caught my attention and i really wanna meet him.

but anyways my trainer is Elder Bryan, hes been out 22 months anyways hes from the Recon stake from Tucson, he was a wrestler, converted at 12 and we keep playing the name game but still cant figure out anyone we both know, hes an awesome missionary, hard worker, District Leader, and is becoming an awesome friend, and for the rest of our district i've only met two but there all pritty chill, one is a vegan though.

so basically Indiana is very flat, you can see for miles,its also very green, and yes extremely humid, when you walk outside you automatically are sticky but this is because it rains like 3-4 times a week, and man let me tell you the thunder storms and lighting are something else up here, i mean when one strikes like 6 strike and they go like across the sky instead of down to the ground it sweet, and then there is the really cool thing about Indiana and that is: Tornados DUN DUN DUN!!! and mom dont freak out but Thursday night the assistants called and told us that we needed to go home cause of a tornado warning and one of the signs of a tornado is that the lighting and the sky are green and that is exactly what was happening it was sweet.

Kokomo has like an 18% unemployment rate which makes it one of the fastest dying cities in America which is sad but good for the work.

so far its all good tracting in fun and easy, as a companion ships are lessons flow smoothly but we only 1 investigator and a few in actives but we have found like 5 more potentials, and were are in the bible belt so within just this week ive been able to categorize most people: face slammers, listeners and then face slammers, content, fear of change, and of course the bashers that everyone loves

so thats really all i got, im praying and studying hard and leaving nothing behind

Love Elder Tanner Busby Nelson

Oh! and you all can email me now... eldertannerbusbynelson@myldsmail.net
