Stressful!

Dear all,

So since my last email there has been nothing but stress! As you know Elder Benson and I are now companions, so that means there is only one set of missionaries here in North Platte now. Because of this one of the apartments got closed and we kept the newer one. Well the one we closed which was older was pretty old and accumulated a lot of old mission junk, especially because we used to have Sister Missionaries here (Nothing against them, they just like having a lot of stuff for cooking and decorations). So we have spent the last couple of days just cleaning and moving stuff. We have taken two big loads of stuff to Goodwill, and thrown away a lot of other stuff as well. Missionaries like to buy thing, then when they get transferred, leave it behind for the next missionaries, never thinking that some day that place might be closed and someone would have to clean up such a big mess.

The cleaning was stressful, but it wasn't the most stressful part. The most stressful part about it was having a bunch of people telling you different things. We got a call from one of the old couple Missionaries and they said we had to get the placed cleaned out and everything by Friday and that the owner of the apartment complex has told him that there would be an open garage for us to store all the extra furniture. Well I called them up and they said that they had told them that they didn't have an open garage. Getting all that figured out and such was so stressful, I don't think I've ever been that stressed in my life.

Besides all that, everything is going great! Elder Benson and I are pretty much best buds already. We get along great and we both want to work hard! Hopefully we start seeing some increase in the work around here. I have faith that we will both do great work here, as long as we keep turning to the Lord for help!

I hope everyone is doing well! Life is great! Never forget that! Never forget all the blessing that are from our Heavenly Father! I love you all! Everyone keep up the good work and don't forget where you come from!

With tender love and care,
Ofa atu,
Elder Timmy Nelson
