Dear all,
As some of you may
already know, meeting with Emily and her dad went really well. We had a good
time and her dad was very friendly with us. I hope and pray to that he will one
day accept the Gospel again, this time for himself. Emily told us that we
were an answer to her prayers that she has been praying for years. To be an
answer to someone's prayers is the best feeling in the world. When she
told me that, I felt the spirit so strongly! It was amazing! I know that I have
been in this area for this long for that reason. Our efforts may not get him
baptized anytime soon, but I know that the Lord was in it! It truly was a
remarkable experience. I hope to stay in contact with Emily while she is on her
mission, especially one I leave this area, so I can see how her dad is doing! I
love this Gospel so much!
The Hussings are still
progressing amazingly! They are still set for the 9th of June and I
don't see anything getting in the way of it. They are super ready and super
spiritual people. I can't wait for their baptism!
As you can tell from
the pictures, I have gotten fat. I have been avoiding send pictures because of
this, but I just couldn't not send these pictures, it being so exciting and
all. This is what happens when you drink soda and don't run it off. This Winter
was really hard on me so I didn't run at all. For all you future missionaries,
especially the ones going state side, don't let the members buy you soda every
day!!! I've been soda free for about 3 or 4 months now, but just avoid it all
together! I'm hoping to get rid of it fast. I ran for an hour and a half
straight yesterday on our members NordicTrack thing. So hopefully if I
keep this up, I will lose it all. If not, if I come home fat, I will do
Insanity until it is gone! That's a promise. So family, remember this. If I
come home still fat, I'm doing Insanity. I might do it even if I'm not fat, but
there is no maybe if I am fat. Don't let me forget family! Haha :)
Well I love you all! I
hope everyone is doing great! Always remember to do your best to be a blessing
to others. When you pray, instead of asking for all these blessings all the
time, ask Heavenly Father if you can be an answer to someone else prayers. You
won't find a greater feeling anywhere else. :)
With tender love and
care,
Ofa atu,
Elder Timmy Nelson
