i got a ticket...

Conference was amazing but as hard as i try i still cannot stay focused and awake when Elder Scott speaks I really try hard but I just can't do it yet.

As for the work out it is called P90X it is awesome and very hard at the same time and in fact today we did a way sweet work out with a member from Kendleville(the missionaries that we share our car with). We did two different things the first was boxing and it was way sweet, before i start i should probably tell you that this member is like this crazy martial arts guy and he teaches people it on the side but mostly just self defense stuff, but anyways i had a blast and i learned alot and then also we did some ways to defend yourself from someone with a knife and that was very handy to know just in case and then something else that we learned was some double sword fighting but don't worry we just had bamboo sticks.

As for the weather here it has been perfect it's been in like the 60's-70's and it has been so nice to work i mean I'm not saying that I didn't like 8 degrees with wind chill but you know what I mean.

So alot has happened this week and believe me that there has been alot of miracles and alot of new really solid people that we are teaching, but there is one thing that has stuck out to me over all of conference and then also throughout all the lessons that we have taught and that is this: I have learned how the destroyer works. Think of it why did Satan want Moses to be killed as a baby? Why did he want Jesus to be killed as a baby? Why did he attack Joseph Smith relentlessly in the sacred grove? Why does he attack that which is the purpose of our Heavenly Fathers plan, the family? Because, he didn't want to deal with Moses the prophet, because he didn't want to deal with Jesus the Christ, because he didn't want to deal with Joseph the prophet of the restoration, because he doesn't want to deal with families being able to help each other live together forever. I have learned and gained a testimony that Satan will do everything in his power to destroy something so that he won’t have to deal with it. It is the same for all of us in all of our stories, Satan didn't want to deal with Rod Nelson and Marsha Hansen that would become Elder Nelson and Sister Hansen who would then become Bro. and Sis. Nelson and start and raise successfully a righteous posterity. Myself being included, it would have been easier for Satan to destroy Tanner the boy instead of now Elder Nelson, a representative of Jesus Christ.

I love you all so much that you don't even understand, you have all helped me in my life even though I've messed up here and there but you were always there, and now i will always promise to be there as well. Yesterday i messed up again, i had made it more that a year but i got a speeding ticket and i am no longer a coward and will try to hide my mistakes, so I'm sorry and this time I will make it the rest of my life.

I love you,
Elder Nelson a missionary from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
