Craziest Sunday EVER!

Dear all,

So yesterday was crazy awesome! I don't know how many of you know or remember Emily Ross, but yesterday as we were greeting everyone as they enter the church building as usual, she walked in! My brain literally did this, "Oh that's a familiar face, so it's normal. OH wait! She's from Las Vegas! That's not normal!!!!!!!". It was crazy! So it turns out her dad lives here in the area that I've been in for more then half of my mission! I can't help but feel that this might be one of the reasons that I've been kept here for so long. So we are trying to see if we can get anything started with him. I sure hope so.

But that's not all that made yesterday so awesome and crazy! This older couple, Ralph and Peggy Hussing, randomly showed up to church and basically said they wanted to be baptized. Turns out that he is a former Community of Christ (RLDS) pasture and has resigned due to some changed they are making in that religion, specifically allowing homosexuals into the Priesthood and allowing homosexual marriages to be done in their churches. So we went and taught them last night and we are planning on baptizing them on June 9th! I am very confident that they will make this baptism date, especially since they have already made efforts to show that they are willing to change what they need to to be baptized, which isn't very much at all.

We have been trying really hard to keep our miles lower this past week, and we were obviously very blessed for our efforts!

I love you all and hope that everyone is doing great! Because I am! Haha :)

With tender love and care,

Ofa atu,
Elder Timmy Nelson
