Yehaw!!

so ya it is really crazy cause at the end of next transfer i will hit my 6 month mark which means I’ll already be out 1/4 of my mission which is just crazy and i still am learning like a wild fire on soo many subjects that i cant keep up with everything that i want to learn more about, i have a huge list, its epic.

that is sweet about brian and taylor and just funny about denver its really crazy cause right now im with another elder on exchange and his name is elder cris peterson and his dad is bow hunting too (FYI- he’s from gilbert and his grandpa it mayor larry nelson, small world huh)

Soo other than that this week has been AWESOME we set 2 baptismal dates and one is this saturday, he has been investigating the church for 2ish years and another crazy thing is that one of the first elders that taught him is elder jonston, now you dont know who he is but he was one of halls MTC teachers, crazy huh.

So also that was awesome is that we had our Purdue campus blitz and it was AWESOME as expected and what is really cool is that one of the girls that i taught is now investigating the church and is taking the lessons from our zone leaders, the crazy thing about her is one she is a freshman in a sorority, she has zilch for a religious background, her dad is athiest, her mom is southern baptist, but, even though she has all of this she was searching for something and she didnt know what it was and now is trying to obtain what that something is. It goes to show that everyone NEEDS the gospel and most dont even know it. So one of the things that clicked(i knew it before but didnt have a testimony of it) for me this week is not to judge someone on there past or even how they are living their lives now but instead to see what someones potential for the future is, and EVERYONES potential is to go through repentance and baptism which wipes their history clean and to god it is all forgotten as if it had never happened.

i got your box you sent me and thx alot, i really did like it but try not too send too much too often cause we ate all of it that same day it came in the mail, hahaha. (Editors note: we sent two dozen cookies, 1 dozen rice cripsies, 12 cups of puppy chow! you do the math!)

Love ya ,
Elder nelson
