Indiana weather--

Hey family,
Is it cold yet?? it is a little difficult to answer this question because the weather inIndiana has ADD. Last week it was chilly but the last 2 days we have only had short sleeve shirts on but then today its dark and gloomy out soo who knows what the weather is gonna do next but the saying in Indiana is that if you dont like the weather just wait 15 minutes, hahaha
Did you get the coat I sent?? yes and it wasnt what i was expecting but i trust taylor soo we'll see how it works


I actually get jons emails and i just read the last one he will ever write and it is soo crasy that he is going home this friday i still feel like he had just left, it really goes to show that 2 years really isnt all that long.

So as for my week it was pretty good we got to hear from elder Richards of the 2nd quorum of the 70 and his wife. I liked it alot we sat in our seats being trained by him from 9:00am-1:00pm and it was all awesome he told us our mission funnel chart and then he told us the average funnel chart for the US and the for theUS and Canada and our mission is way below average. For example for every 58 investigators there is one baptism in our mission and for US and Canada its for every 12 investigators. also indiana will be getting even less missionaries and that means one thing and that is that now we have alot more work to do and we have to make up for the lack of missionaries so out of all the missionaries in the world we have to be the elite. Also we heard about alot of changes that will be happening and im sure dad will know about them.

So soomething crazy that i learned this week was that while reading king benjamins speech in the first few chapters of mosiah a subject that he was talking about was children being accountable and stuff so i thought of moroni8:8 when moroni totally throws down on baby baptism and then the thought of christ popped into my head and i was thinking about how he lived a perfect life without ever committing a single sin thus making him the only perfect sacrifice to be able to perform the atonement. Well then it hit me so hard that i yelled out: "WOOO" immediately followed by my companion elder timothy telling me to shut up and save it for companionship study. Soo the reason for baby baptism is because they believe that EVERYONE is born into sin because of adams transgression right, but everyone that believes in christ also knows that he lived a sinless life right, soo according to this belief it means that Christ sinned because he was simply born thus making him not perfect and unable to perform the atonement, so this belief completely contradicts jesus, and there you have it, it is FALSE, BAM!!! well i hope you find that as cool as i do.

ok so thanks for the emails and stuff but i like to hear more details and have more of a conversation instead of me just reporting stuff each week.

love ya,
Elder Nelson
