I Haven't Frozen Yet

No I have not frozen yet but I have gotten close a few times. This last week it was 5 degrees one day and that wasn't counting the wind chill.
This week has had it's ups and downs. I just about killed Elder Jones.... no, that is a lie we get along great, in fact even extraordinarily well. This week has been a little ruff though because this week is finals week and everyone is studying their brains out. So we did a lot of finding this week and to be completely honest I thought this would be a long week but it went by really fast. We were able to talk to a lot of people and found a lot of people with a lot of potential, but it was the same thing for everyone: call me next semester. It is all good though because this way we will just have a lot of people to call in January.

Something really exciting is that we will be getting 20 new missionaries in January and that means there will be 5 closed areas that will have missionaries again. Something really exciting is that one of those areas will be in our Zone and it will be a set of Spanish missionaries.

I think that the best part of this whole week was this morning. I wasn't having a very good morning so I decided to study about the Atonement. I flipped open to the Plan of Salvation lesson in Preach My Gospel were it teaches about the Atonement and I don't have words to really explain it but I will try my best. As I read the Spirit started to work within me. As I read farther and farther He came with more and more power until the testimony of what I already had of Jesus Christ evolved into a greater knowledge of the reality of Jesus Christ and all he sacrificed for us, and how much he loves me, and how much he knows I can do, in order to live with Him and with our Father in Heaven and with all of you.

Alma 7 has so much power behind it as does Luke 2. Read them both and remember Him.

I love you,
Elder Nelson
