Gang gang

 Absolutely crazy week! The weeks fly by out here I finished a transfer already.

Alright so I'll just go over the cool miracles we saw this week so we'll start off wit ma boy Gabriel or as he calls himself elder Gabe which I think is funny but he loves it he doesn't understand why everyone's not baptized and neither do we but yeah anyways when I first came out the very first day and the very first door I ever knocked was Gabriel's we went there to talk to his mom but he answered and so we talked to him and he came to church the next week and we taught him for 6 weeks and he got baptized on Saturday which is so cool it's crazy how many miracles you see when your obedient and working hard.

Our boy trev dawg has been on date for a while and he's a cool story too when I first came out they were already meeting with Jim but he was a bum like he wouldn't even get off the couch when we came and he wouldn't read the scriptures we gave him but now he reads them, he listens to a talk everyday, and he got a puppy that he has to wall every 2 hours and by the way this guy has stage four cancer and has an extreme amount of back pain but these last two weeks he's been the happiest guy ever and i love him so much but we have to push his baptism back and he wasn't very happy about it but he wants it so bad so we'll get there eventually.

Cheryl is.... something else she started to just call me babe which is probably against the standards but if it gets her baptized then I think it's ok.( joking) anyways she went to gabes baptism and during it she told me that her and her boyfriend quit smoking and drinking so that they could get baptized and I was so happy it's so cool to see the change in people because the first time I met Cheryl she want very nice and the second time her bf came out and smoked a joint in out face then dipped but now they love church so much and they're gonna get baptized so I'm so excited for them.

Aubrey got baptized on sunday she was the other elders but I was able to teach her a couple times on exchanges and her little brother is a convert and be was baptized in July and he's probably the coolest 16 year-old out there he baptized his older sister and now his whole family comes to church because of him and he's probably gonna go on a mission so I just think that family is really cool.

I got ran over by a car on Wednesday 

It's so cool to see the success we are having right now because when I first came out it was not like this but as we've really started to grind we've seen so many miracles we had 15 people at church yesterday as an apartment( all glory to god). Our bishop loves us because he's had to open the overflow the past two weeks which they haven't done n 20 years so he fed us the best ribs I've ever had on Sunday

You only gave me half a handshake

 What up gang

Ayo so we cooking out here salem 1st is the best area is the world lowkey like we're just ok the grind up in this john we had 20 lessons with members participating this week which is so fire. It was just such a good week.

Tuesday was some heat we met with some lady named kimmy and she took a smoke break during the lesson but we don't judge out here so we just took in the second hand cancer because we do whatever it takes out here but ut was fire she said she'd be at church but she lied so we finna have a talk with her about that. We met with Cheryl again she's such a dawg bruh she calls me the holy cutie which is kinda fire ngl but she came to church for the first time in 20 years last week and she started crying during it so she went home and got her man to coke this week so he was there yesterday even though he broke his shoulder Saturday night. Anyways we through her on date after church and so that's fire I'm so excited for her she has such a bug heart and has a fire under her so I really think she can do it.

Wednesday was my first zone conference and it was fun i guess I gotta see all my boys that I've made friends with and I gotta see elder hall he's a kid I went to school with so that was fun P Philly( the Mish president) is the man he's so funny so if was fun listened to him.

Thursday we met with kai she's a dawg fr were gonna get her on date pretty soon on the dead homies fr. We gave her a church tour and she's really starting to like the lessons so I'm excited for her hopefully she can keep progressing.

Friday was bussin we had a dinner with maricruz which was good she's kinda shy so we got her to open up a little bit more at that so that's fire.

Saturday I was on exchange with elder Davis which went really well we went to a chuukis family and they barely speak English but the dad just kept saying "I love jesus" I think that's all he can say in English and they pulled up to church.

This week was a heater but we found out we got some opps out here we came out of our apartment for church on sunday and saw our bike lock cut in half and our bikes gone so we got beef wit some boys now so we finna track them down and some them what's up but anyways it was a good week like I said

 I'm grateful for my savior Jesus Christ

I've gained 10 pounds😵

 Yeah you read that right

They feed me a lot here I wouldn't say they feed me good but they feed me a lot. You know how the gift of tongues is a thing well the gift of eating is real too, because I've eaten some weird things already and I've eaten a lot of it and back home you couldn't pay me to do that. But it's good now I won't have to use the "I already ate" thing when I get home haha.

It was a good week we put Trevor on date which is a miracle when I first got here he just sat on his couch and would barely talk when we had lessons. But the last week he's been super happy and involved in the lessons and he's changed so much so we put that boy on date to get dunked but there's a slight step back and we haven't broken the news to him yet so I'm really worried about that. 

We put this on girl on date over the phone haha but we found her on Facebook which we never do but your supposed to do it every day but we never do but I guess it worked she was at church and now she's gonna get baptized so for the missionaries face book does work haha.

New years eve was fun this apartment is a party we went to bed at 10:30 still but we had some fun before bed I won't give to many details but ill just say we had to clean up for an hour after haha.

We bad 7 friends at church yesterday which was so sick this one lady who's probably like 60 sat by me and Trevor and I talked to her the whole time buy the problem is she sounds and smells like she's been smoking for 50 years because her voice will be totally normal then all the sudden her voice will go so deep I can't even get my voice that deep it's crazy and it makes me cringe a little but she loves me so hopefully we can get some lessons with her.

Anyway I had a good week other than it rained like crazy this week and I just get home every night soaked on the outside and muddy on the bottom of my pants and soaked in sweat as well but I'm not complaining because the walk/bike Is kinda fun except we see the same homeless people everyday and it gets sad sometimes anyways hope you all have a good week oh and congrats to robbie and Emily I wish I was there but I guess I was kinda but my neck also broke so yeah.

Love Elder Nelson
