It's Almost Christmas?

This week was a little difficult. We had great expectations for all the new people we found last week, but we weren't able to reach some of them. We made a list of people that we could mark for baptism, and during the week we tried to get them. Nobody wanted to accept a baptismal date. We also had a couple that due to the size of our area we weren't able to meet with.  So this week we planned to focus on fewer people so we can actually meet with them, teach them, and help them to progress.  We have faith that we will be able to see better results this week.

I did a split with Elder J. B this week. It was pretty good to get to know him a bit better and help him with some of the worries and difficulties that he is having in his area. 

Do you remember that giant hamburger where we received money to eat lunch that day, so we ate a little bit of the giant burger for lunch, and we bought the rest home?  I put on some pictures of the experience. We bought another one and w
ere able to finish the whole thing in about 15 minutes. We were pretty proud.  In the past, there were two really big elders, both of them were about 200 pounds. And when they bought this hamburger, they had some times that they weren't even able to finish it all.

I also put a picture of how Elder M left the apartment this week.... with white socks. He used them because the rest of his socks were dirty. Oh I don't even know if I mentioned that our washing machine was broken for about a month, and that we were washing our clothes by hand. But we got the washer fixed this week, and it really is a blessing to have it working again.  It helps so much.

I hope you all have a great week this week!

Love
Elder Nielson
