still workin hard

SO this week was pretty fun and we saw a lot of miracles and I have had a lot of growing experiences. We have been finding tons of really sweet people that just want to learn the gospel and come closer to God and a lot of them are Asian. Something that a member pointed out this week is very interesting. This member has a son in Russia on his mission so he knows a little about the Russians and he pointed out how different people react differently to communism. Russians are very cold by nature and hard hearted and yet the Chinese for the most part are very honest and open minded people. So we are super blessed to be able to teach are to share the gospel with these people. We also went on 2 exchanges. For the first one I was with Elder Farmer and we were in our area at Purdue. We were able to find a few really good people and were able to set appointments with all of them except for one. It was hard because we couldn't find a time that was open for both of us, but no worries we called and finally found a time that worked out, we will be seeing him later this week. For our second exchange we went down to Logansport and blitzed Elder Rees and Elder Edwards area. I went with Elder Edwards who is from Mesa so we got to talk it up like Arizona boys do and it was great. At the very start we taught this guy and set a baptismal date with him for the 14th of May. I even got to see some members and give them a surprise. We were able to do a lot of great work and have a lot of fun while doing it. We also had another "Why I Believe" fireside that went well but was a little stressful at the same time. We ended up starting 15 minutes late because everyone was late and then 3 out of the 6 speakers didn't show or couldn't come for one reason or another so in order till fill in the time I decide to share my conversion story and then we ended. In all it went well but it definitely took a lot of effort on our side of it all. I did get to see some members from Kokomo, were I was trained, and got to say goodbye to them so that was cool.

Well I'm still working hard and giving it all I got. I love you, Elder Nelson
