sorry about last week...

Sorry about the e-mails but for last week:
So it all started off with an exchange with Elder Manookin (district leader) and it was a blast, i just love going out with him because he is so funny and it was just amazing as well. While we were out we were on our way towards a street to tract on and from the other side of the street we hear this short old black guy with a high pitched voice and he was a little buzzed to say the least, and he was preaching Jesus to us and he was just the funniest little guy because of all these things put together. But the cool part was that while we were talking to him his friend came out of his house and told us that he had a few questions and that once we were done talking to come into the house, which we did. So we get into this guys home and he has the table cleaned up so that we could all sit down and talk and we ask to start with a prayer and afterwards we find out that his name is: Cherry(that's not a typo) and he goes on to tell us that 10 years ago he had a heart attack and was pronounced dead, but came back to life and since then around 5 members of his immediate family have died of heart attacks. He has gone to a few different churches and he just gave up 5 years ago and he showed us that his bible hat sat in one place and hadn't been touched for that amount of time, and there was a big layer of dust on it. Anyways we go on to testify about eternal families and the plan of salvation and he is getting really emotional at this point in time. I then told him something that i have never once said my whole mission and that was that we had Gods answer to all of his questions and prayers. We then go on and ask to leave a blessing on his home and something that didn't connect in my head until after all of this was the fact that i have never blessed a home before. Once he gathered his wife and their infant daughter we knelt down and gave a wonderful blessing on them and their home. After the blessing the spirit made itself known very well known and there was alot of emotion coming from Cherry in fact he wanted us to come back the next day and then every day after that as well and he even told us that he wasn't gonna drink or smoke until we come back and talked with him more. As we were walking away it was a very cool feeling the type of feeling that i could barely have enough strength to walk, i can very easily say that this experience is the most powerful experience i have ever had on my mission. Now unfortunately we went back and tried him every day and unfortunately we weren't able to see him again until Friday when i was on and exchange with Elder Miller(assistant) and unfortunately he isn't in the mood to talk to us for a little while because 2 days after we had that experience his best friend and neighbor died, but all we can do is try.
Also that week was full of alot of people that wouldn't even give us a chance but we tried.
Ok so were gonna rewind just a little bit here back to Thursday. Thursday was awesome because we had a mini-zone conference with just our zone and we also had President interviews, and both went very well. So you all don't know President Corey very well but to put it simply he is a deep well of knowledge and the mission has always known that but he really blew us away at conference. Pres. Corey loves the New Testament and he decided to go through it with us and point out all the unique Mormon doctrine and we only got through Romans and The book of Revelation but i had no idea how much doctrine in the Bible there is to back us up out of the Bible.
Anyways back to Friday the 12th. I was able to go on exchange with Elder Miller and Elder Nielsen went with Elder Stranski and it was an Awesome exchange for the both of us and it was really funny because Elder Nielsen and i were talking about it at lunch that day and he was saying how good E. Stranski is and then he said that he almost doesn't feel worthy of working with him
So now we’re caught up to this week. Yesterday was a very eventful day for me and us as a companionship. It was good for me because we got to go on exchanges with the Zone Leaders and I got to go with elder Jeppesen and we have gone together before and it was so fun. For this exchange i told E. Jeppesen that i have felt like i haven't felt like I have been getting better here lately and it was an answered prayer because it felt like the lord blessed me with the eyes to see that i have alot i can still really dramatically improve on in fact everything, especially the things that I'm already pretty good at so now I'm really excited because i have a long way to go.

I have tried to tell you about all of the big stuff in the past few weeks for the sake of limited time but as for the work we have been finding new families to teach every day so it goes to show that things get bad right before miracles are about to happen.
Again im sorry about the last couple of weeks, i love you all,
Elder Nelson
