Tornado siren went off!!

President Collins will be coming out in the beginning of July I think and it will be crazy, in fact this Thursday we will be having a mission wide conference with everyone, it will be a lot of fun to be able to see everyone.

So today was a lot of fun. We went over to bro. Alwoods (wilderness survival pro) and it was awesome, something that shows how good this guy is, is that animal planet has been trying to get him to do a show for them. We did some sweet stuff. He taught us how to make fire with a bow drill and also he started to teach us how to track, you know like follow foot prints and stuff it was way sweet, and then he was telling us that next time he'll teach us how to read peoples faces and body movements so that we can have an extra edge when it comes to tracking and talking with people.

So as for this week it has been Awesome, there are so many miracles that happened this week. One of which was this investigator that we had a lesson with and she told us that she got an answer to her prayers and she knows that Joseph Smith is a prophet and that the Book of Mormon is the word of God but then we ran into a snag when we started to talk about baptism, because she said that she was baptized already as a child by her mom.
So we obviously need to teach about authority a little more but with patience she will be able to connect the dots eventually. Also something else that happened this week was another miracle and it was really cool. On Saturday night the tornado siren went off at about 10:20ish and we walked out side because we didn't know what it was, so we asked our neighbor that was outside and he said that it meant that tornado's have been sighted. Well it wasn't too much longer that our branch mission leader gave us a call to tell us that there was going to be a tornado watch till 5:00am and that he will call us if anything happens. So being blessed with a little common sense I got my shoes and my backpack and put some important things next to my bed so that I could just get up and go. Now the cool thing comes up next at about 12:50 in the morning I woke up and I was wide awake and I decided to put a shirt on over My G's of course, and the next minute almost the siren went off again and our branch mission leader calls and tells us to get into the basement and to stay there until he calls us to say that it's safe. So naturally i got up put my shoes and backpack on and was ready to go out the door and Elder Phillips is still half asleep so I say lets go and all he wants to do is stay in bed and sleep but I finally get him to come. But let me tell you what that was some of the loudest and longest thunder I had ever heard we stayed up for about an hour but the wonderful thing was that I didn't worry even a little about our safety, I knew that everything would be taken care of. Another Awesome thing is that our Recent convert is just on fire and is going to the temple this weekend and is super excited about everything and other than that she also makes the best pie I have ever eaten.

Well i gotta go put i love you all and love hearing from you,
Elder Nelson
