We are trying to find some new people, but L-- is progressing well. He is the young man that told us he was an atheist when we first met, even though he really did believe in God. He will be baptized this Saturday. I hope that it all goes well. As he is praying, and as he is reading the Book of Mormon, and trying to go to church, he is really feeling the Holy Ghost touching him. He is feeling more hopeful about the future and about his destiny after death. We couldn't be happier. He is really searching to know the truth, and he is being blessed by the Lord for it.
Sadly this week I won't be able to send any pictures again. I forgot my cable at our house. But I'll send the bowling pictures next week. It was really fun, and it was a nice last p-day together. Tomorrow is stake conference, and it will be cool to hear from President Houseman again. I hope that you all have a great week!
Love you guys!
Elder Nielson
From this week's call: Elder Nielson called earlier again this week. We were wandering the aisles at Walmart, so we connected with a cell phone and Google Hangout and he got to go shopping with us. We talked as we shopped. The technology to be able to do this is pretty amazing.
The Elders in the office filled out a March Madness bracket provided by Sister Houseman. So Elder Nielson was trying to get the scoop on who was winning and how it was going. They can't watch any games, but they will eventually know who picked correctly. He thinks he is doing well.
They didn't have much time this week to proselyte but are anxious to get out and find new people. It sounds like they found a young lady that had attended seminary and church while living in the interior who would like to get involved again. So she sounds like a good contact. Elder Nielson says he can really feel that their proselyting efforts, though only a few hours per day, are magnified by the Lord and great things are happening.
