"6-7" -Patrick Kearon 3X

 Im currently 48 hours off of caffeine(new record) and my head hurts so bad. I also just slid down a muddy mountain on my butt. Im so excited to down this 48oz mountain dew, God bless America 🇺🇸

But yeah I missed PK by about 2 minutes so I didnt get to actually talk to him, but he gave a really good talk at a conference here. He said 6-7 3x and said a lot of British jokes i didnt understand, but the spirit was strong and hes a cool guy. 

We had a really good week though, we had a mission wide fast to baptize more people and we got a referral during it for a young lady named honesty and shes come to church the last two weeks and will get baptized on Sunday. Super excited for her shes in good with the young women now too so shes good to go.

Our dawg Cameron came to church the last two weeks as well and some British lady bore her testimony on how homeless people don't change. Of course Cameron used to be homeless, so im sure he feels super welcome at our church. But he actually loves it, he quit his word if wisdom struggles before we even taught it to him, and he accepted the invitation to be baptized so within the next couple of weeks he will do that.

A homeless dude named Greg(but goes by John??) Wandered into church, and i wish I could say it was the spirit that got him to stay, but i literally forced him into the sacrament meeting. He liked it though and stayed he would be back next week.

Other than riding a moped, having insane amounts of aura, and holding my trainee back from arguing about politics twice a day not much else to talk about. So stay super, man.

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Love, Elder Nelson

P.s shout out Stacy for going on a date with my traino

Happy Easter

 What is up squad, we had transfers last week and suprise suprise im going to be training for 10 and a half months. I guess that is what im here to do.  But im still with Elder Jacobson so im hyped about that, and still in west salem. 

Easter weekend was great, we were able to watch conference at the house of a family we are teaching! They made us a really good ham and got me some soda so that was nice. But they really enjoyed it and will hopefully keep progressing to baptism!

But anyways weve been talking to a lot of really cool people, this one guy Cameron is always trying to get us to trade stocks for a living when we get home. He said he would train us cause hes really good at it apparently, but he watched conference and enjoyed it. He lives like right next to us so we teach him almost every night.

We got called "The morons" twice this week, and its been super hot lately so everyone thinks its funny to offer us coffee and tea to "cool" us down. Living in Oregon makes you realize that we really do live in a fallen world. 

But anyways our friend Serena is doing great, she doesnt have a lot of time left so weve been helping her clean up her house, and she really likes trees and flowers so weve been planting those with her. She has surgery and then she will be good to go for baptism!

Spiritual nug 

And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: Why seek ye the living among the dead?

He is not here, but is risen.

Hope to see yall in the kingdom!
