The Work!

Dear All,

So this past week was much better then last! We are done with the other apartment now and are back to the wonderful missionary work! I've even got some great news! Michael made it to church yesterday! We set him for the 25th of August, so hopefully he can be over his smoking and coffee addiction by then. He's been making some great improvement! It's great! We've even been making some progress with some less active families too, which has been amazing! Oh and we have a member who found someone from his work who we are meeting with tonight! I was so excited to hear that! I can't wait!

So as you can tell, the work is picking up! Now that we take care of both wards, I have new investigators that I am dealing with that have been being dealt with for a while now. We have some twins we are teaching named Hope and Faith. They are 13 about to be 14 in August. They have been set before and attend church regularly. The only thing that is keeping them from being baptized is their father. He is a less active member who doesn't believe in the church anymore and won't let his daughters be baptized because they "only go to him when they need something". We meet with the twins usually twice a week and have a lesson with them, but they are at their Dad's house so we have been having the lessons there. He seems pretty hard hearted towards the church, but yesterday we meet with the twins and it seemed like he was warming up to us. I am sure he will come around, so long as we continue to be true representatives of Christ through our actions of kindness and diligence.

I hope everyone is doing well. Thanks to everyone so much for always being such a great support to me. I love you all so much and look forward to hearing from y'all!

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