Nerf Wars..

so to start i would like to say how genius and funny taylor and sheri’s christmas card was.

But anyways im glad that everything went over soo good and everyone had fun, all except for the fox that is. And as for me not changing I see that a good thing because a missionary should leave home and come back the same but with a stronger testimony.

But as for our Christmas it was sweet as i told you it all started with going out caroling and then Christmas morning we went and played santa and chad the surfer dude, then on the 26th alot of fun really happened cause we got to go on a blitz of our area(many missionaries work one area) with the zone leaders witch was way awesome. The reason that we did was because their area is Purdue campus and its winter break so no one is there. But anyways during our break we got into a hugenerf gun war in our house and it was soo much fun and a really good workout too.
Last week were transfers and elder Ashton and i are still together but the crazy thing is that one of the areas in our district got closed so now there are only 4 missionaries in our district. We ended up going toLaFayette to hang out with the zone leaders cause one of them was getting transferred and it was so much fun cause we had another series of nerf war games and by the end of it all we were really tired.

But as for the work this week it has been going really good we have been finding more and more people to teach and it is awesome. Unfortunately we have had one investigator that has gone down hill into drugs and things again but we had a super solid lesson and the spirit was truly the one teaching because his attitude has gone up and we went back and starting to teach him the plan of salvationand we ended up stopping at the atonement but none the less it was really good. In fact while preparing for this lesson we wanted to focus alot on the atonement so what we did was very cool. we read the account of the garden of Gethsemane out of Matthew and then read out of Alma 7:11-13 which goes even deeper and gives a stronger testimony of what Christ did spiritually for all of us and then we followed with reading D&C 19:13-20 and i really like this one because it shows how much the savior wants us to use the atonement and then it explains what will happen if we don’t. So i think you would all like it alot so you should do this for FHE some time.
well i love ya all and thanks for everything,
Elder Nelson
