My New Companion



Dear all,

So this past week was transfers. As you all may already know I have a new companion and stayed in North Platte. Elder Benson was transferred to Omaha. Seeing Elder Benson leave was a lot harder for me then I expected it to be. I really wasn't ready for him to go, but I know it was inspired of the Lord. Knowing this I decided to turn to Him, even though it seemed like such a small thing. I testify to you all that Heavenly Father is aware of us and our troubles, no matter how small or big. Heavenly Father helped me to overcome my sadness of Elder Benson leaving. If I didn't turn to Him I could have just gone about the work being sad and not focused, but He answered my prayers and now I still miss Elder Benson, but I don't feel that overwhelming sadness that I did when he first left.

My new companion is Elder Jenkins. Elder Jenkins is super awesome! He's super diligent in the work and he works super hard. He left his bike in Omaha, but once it gets here we are going to ride our bikes everywhere so we don't have to worry about our miles and so we can stop and talk to more people when we are riding around. I know there is a lot I can learn from Elder Jenkins and I am very excited to be serving with him. The work in North Platte is going to start picking up fast! I can feel it!

We also have another set back in North Platte, which means I only work with 1st ward once again. The new elders are Elder Carrier and Elder Snell. Elder Carrier has been out for about 18 months and he is training Elder Snell. They are super sweet and super hard working! I know that they will take very good care of all our members and investigators that we have in 2nd ward.

Well that's the update for the week! Michael has been set for his birthday on the 28th of October, so I may not be here for his baptism, but as long as he does get baptized, I will be happy. I hope everyone is doing great! I love hearing from you guys! I am so very thankful for all that y'all do for me. Keep up the good work and read from the scriptures and pray every day!

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