Mom, thanks for the pictures they look so good! 

We just had a transfer and I am serving with Elder Dees who is from Florida and is going home in the next 5 weeks.  He has had a harder mission but is ready to go so I am looking forward to working with him.

 

Looks like John is getting ready to leave to Paris! That is so exciting. 

Also I heard Lana is staying with you while she figures things out, I hope she is doing good.

 

Anyway we are serving hard and talking to everyone we cross and just staying busy opening our mouths to declare the restoration of the Gospel.

Thanks for alll you do I love you so much.

Yeah it sounded like you had a wonderful time with the family. I am so glad john is getting ready to get out to Paris! That is good to hear that Isaac was made an Elder! Him and Hannah are getting ready to get sealed right?

 

I am doing all I can to pray and ask for the gift of discernment.  It is just hard because some of the missionaries I serve with are very fast and want quick answers and results and forget to be patient in this work and the Lord with give you success.

I have been doing all I can to work hard and be an example with love and care to all people and companion. :) 

Everything is going great here. The members love us and we are getting them excited about sharing the gospel.

Sorry my E-mails aren't to long, just letting you know that this work is going great and I love it. I will continue to fast and pray for the spirit of discernment and do all I can to build up the Kingdom.

Hey that is wonderful!  So is cindy living up north now? Where is Brian at?

Also, I am not able to see any comments on my page.

 

This week we were able to find alot more people to teach and we are going out with President Winder today to go teach so that should be fun.

We are having a good time working together and serving the Lord. I have been blessed to share the gospel as much as I do.

How is John doing? I would love to see his e-mails to you each week...?

I hope everyone is doing well, tell them I love them. Say hi to Eli and the kids for me.

I love you, Send me some pictures if you can that would be awesome.

 

I can tell you that I am going to be a little sad to leave this area cause of all the hard work I have done here. The ward members have really enjoyed me being here, and all those who we have helped draw closer to the Lord.

 

I have started to do personal fast throughout the week and have seen some great things happen.

 

I thank you for all that you do and love you so much! Thanks for all the love and patience you had with me as I was growing up.

 

Let me know if I can do anything for you. Love you again.

Hey Mom,

 

Sounds great!  I am so thankful for all that you do and the time that you spend visiting family.  I know they are loving the time they spend with you.

I had a great week and am loving the area I am serving in. we have been asked to teach at church alot, and have found many people to teach as we have been going around finding them.  Elder Usevitch has been great and is a hard working Elder, we are doing a lot of good here.

We have interviews this week so it will be the first time I get to sit with preisdent winder and get to know him.

I am having a great time serving as a zone leader and a trainer in the Amity stake center.

 

I am sorry I was not able to write Dad this week, I am working out our schedule to see if  we can get more time to write and e mail. it seems that we end up playing sports way to long and have no time to e-mail or write.  So we talked about it today and it is something that we are going to change.

 

Say hi to everyone for me!  I am writing John right now, seems like he is doing really good. I will keep on writing him.  Let me know if I need to write him anything to uplift or encourage. Anyway I love you and am so thankful for all the time and devotion you spend with everyone. You make a huge change in so many people's lives and are so helping to those who stand in need.

 

I am going to try and write dad in 10 mins before I have to go out and start getting ready to work.

Hey,

I hope all the traveling is going good. I am writting dad a letter and will send it asap. Also, you can tell dad that it was his uncle that played at the Y. Elder Usevitch has been a blessing.  He is a hard working missionary that has helped me improve in many ways.  I am so greatful to be training him. He is sharp and ready to work.

 

We have been working with Nate Sparks former quarterback for the Boise State Broncos.  He has had a little contact with the local missionaries and is super nice. Hopefully we can bring him closer to Christ.

 

Let's see, we have had a wonderful time teaching people here in the area, I feel bad cause when I first got Elder Usevitch we had tons of work to do. But the last two weeks have just been a drag, just dropped appointments!

 

So the wards are having us teach classes which makes Sundays so fun; we got to teach in three different wards, High Priest in one ward, Elders quorum, and the Primary. Haha, it was a fun Sunday, we are getting to know alot of the members really well because we are working with them so much.

 

I will send pictures next week and let you know how things are going. Love Elder Nelson

So we have had a wonderful transfer and are super excited about the new mission president that is coming.

At times the work gets a little hard, but I have been blessed this whole time.  We have just had some wonderful experiences, we have made it a goal to talk to everyone and we have found several new people to teach.

Love Elder Nelson!

Hey So I am staying in the Boise Mission and will training a new missionary!

So excited to be apart of this split and all the wonderful things going on right now, I am sad to see President Cannon go but I am looking forward to work with President Winder! He is from the Salt Lake Area.

 

Sounds like the Family is doing really good! I will keep them in my prayers. Tell John Happy Birthday!
He looks like a little model in his grad pictures! He will be such a great missionary, so crazy to see him leaving and serving the Lord!

 

I am so excited about the work in our area and the Love the memebers here have for us we have made a complete 180 in the area!

I am amazed and filled with such a joy to see the people to whom I am Laboring draw closer to the Lord. I am also so greatful for the support I am given on a day to day basis; though at times I get few hours of sleep I am restless as the day goes forward. I have been so blessed to have truths revealed to me and also treasure the knowledge that the Lord has given me and yet to has given me.

 

I hope all is well! Tell the family I love them and will write them very soon,  tell emma she will do so good in school she is so smart!

 

Love Elder Nelson! P.S. Happy Fathers Day To Dad Tell him I love him!

Also Let Maria know that doing a blog for me would be great thanks!
