Pictures And New Area

Dear all,

So I guess I'll start by going over the pictures. The first two are of Scott and Alisha. I'd like to give a shout out to Scott by his request. He is way legit! I can't wait to come back and visit him after my mission! The third picture is of me and Elaine at the genealogy center that I did a lot of service at while I was in Logan. The fourth is of me with Brother and Sister Nelson. I will miss those guys a lot. The fifth is of me and Hussings as you may remember from their baptism pictures. It was pretty hard to say good by to them. And the last three are of me and Elder Bosen, my former companion. I sure will miss that guy. The first two are a little blurry, but I decided to send them anyways. I sure do miss Logan, but I know I will return some day to visit.

As for my new area, I am now in O'Neill Nebraska. It's not too different from my previous areas. I'm still away from the cities, but this time I'm way out there. We are going to have to drive two hours every week to get to District meeting. And that's one way. So that'll be a total of four hours driving just for District meeting. Pretty crazy. My new companion isn't new. He's one that I've already had! Elder Benson is my companion again! It's pretty cool because a year ago from now, we were companions! It's a pretty uncommon thing in the mission for that to happen, but I guess I'm just mister uncommon in the mission, because missionaries don't usually stay in their areas past 6 transfers, but I was in Logan for 7, so yeah!

So a little more about O'Neill. It's a branch instead of a ward, which I think is pretty neat. I've never been to a branch before, so this will be quite the experience. I'm hoping to change it into a ward by the time I leave (with our amount coming to church right now, that'll be a lot of work), and I'm hoping to finish my mission here. But we'll see what the Lord has in store for me here. But no matter what happens, I know I am here for a reason and that the Lord wants me here in O'Neill Nebraska.

Well, that's my update for the week! I'll keep you all posted more on the area the more I get to know it! I love you all! Never forget the Lord loves and knows you!

With tender love and care,

Ofa atu,
Elder Timmy Nelson
