This week..

So as for when I’ll be calling i dont know how that all will work out, but i will let you know next week and as for the weather it has all been good we have only got a little snow here and there but then it all melts so the lord has definitely been on our side this week.

That is a real shame for Amanda but ya know life happens and if everything worked out perfectly then we wouldn’t learn anything now would we. It is awesome that you brought up making priorities in life we actually taught a lesson about that late last week. How we did it was this: we pulled out a glass jar and filled it to the top with rocks and then asked if the jar was full? they said yes it is. We then proceeded to fill it with small rocks and shook it to fill in all the spaces, then we asked again is the jar full? they laughed and said yes again. Then we proceeded to poor sand in the jar and it filled in every other empty space. Now the big rocks represent the important things in life like ones health, kids, spouse, family time and soo on, and the smaller rocks represent the things that are important but aren’t as important such as ones job, house, car, school and then the sand is all the stuff that just fills in the cracks like music, TV, shopping and so on. The lesson to learn is that if you put all the sand and little rocks in the jar first then there isn’t any room for the important things in life.

So this week tons of miracles have been happening and it has just been awesome.One of them is this guy that we found the other day and the way it happened was this, we had met this really nice lady a few weeks ago and we told her that we were gonna get her a Christmas movie(Joy to the World) and we finally decided to go over to give it to her but while we were walking up to her house there was a sheriffs car out front and we didn’t know what was gonna happen so we knocked and it turns out that it is her son and him and his kids are staying with her because there are some marital problems going on, but he is AWESOME. He automatically knew who we were because his mom told him about us and we sit down and they just start bringing out food to feed us lunch(unexpected) and then before we even get to talking he gives us his personal cell number and tells us to call any time we need help or something is going on, Ok so i have to point out how awesome this is. But anyways we are eating and we finish and then he asks us what it is we believe because he doesn’t know anything about us so we give him a full Restoration lesson and Elder Ashton had a huge part in it all cause he kept the kids a bay so that i could teach and it went way good so in the end we gave him a book of Mormon and committed him to read it and to pray about it and he said he most definitely would cause he works nights and does alot of reading and what was the most important part of the whole thing was when he said: " I really need this".

So everything has been sweet and im acclimating very well im now comfortable in low 30's.

Also this sheriff that we are teaching while we were talking i asked him if he new who sheriff Joe was from maricopa county and it was really funny cause it turns out that at there station they actually have a signed picture of him!

so I got the thermals and they are good and as for driving we only have an allotted amount of miles we can drive a month and we have to use those for going to other towns to teach gators so we don’t use the car too much anyways but i do stay safe.

love ya much and thanks for eveything,
Elder Nelson
