This week was AWESOME!!

So something crazy is that President Collins will be here tomorrow and then we have a Zone meeting this Friday. It will be weird not seeing President Corey on the stand, but he has done his job and now it is time for President Collins to do his.

So this week has been Awesome! Elder Bowen and I definitely are not wasting any time becoming brothers. As for the miracle and highlight of the week though: we were tracking first thing in the morning and no one seemed to be home until we found the one person that was. We knocked on the door and this guy opens up and invites us in without any hesitation or introduction. We found out that he had talked with missionaries before and has a Book of Mormon but at the time when he met them it was during the school year and he is a teacher and soft ball coach so he didn't have any extra time. So we proceed to teach the first lesson: The Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the spirit was there and he’s very open to all that we shared. He said that a lot of it made sense. He is a good guy and by the end of the lesson we committed him to read from the Book of Mormon and pray to know that it is the word of God and that when he receives that answer that he would be baptized and he said: Yes, of course, that would be the most appropriate thing to do.

Elder Bowen and I are having a memorable time and we are working hard. Elder Bowen continues to impress me and he teaches me a lot and that is a good thing because I still have much to learn.

Also I don't thing that I have told you but we will be moving into a new house here shortly and I'm really excited because our 300 square foot house gets old after to long.

I love ya all and I hope that you will be able to survive the heat but look on the bright side --at least you don’t have to deal with the humidity and be all sticky,
Elder Nelson
