Easter

This week was pretty normal. We were pretty blessed to see some of our investigators progress throughout the week.  We hope that all that have committed to go to church this week can make it.  We will go searching tomorrow morning to try and bring as many as possible.

We had Zone Conference and there were several talks that really spoke to me.  We had to prepare talks on fasting and the pre-mortal plan for the conference. That's something that President Houseman does. He has everyone study a topic and come prepared to teach about it if called upon. Sister Houseman spoke about our priorities and used a pretty cool visual. Our training was about planning.  President talked about teaching accordingly to each individual investigator.  It was really a great conference, and I had a great experience.

I finished the book "Saints". It is such a great history of the Church. It's incredible to feel so inside of what was happening. I was really happy with the work that was put into it, and it got me excited to read the next one when it comes out.

We got a white shirt and tie for L--. The shirt was left by Elder Price, and there is a local store that sells pretty good quality ties for cheap. So I called L-- and asked him what his favorite color was. He said black. I asked what his second favorite color was. He said red. So I bought him a red and black tie. He was really excited. The shirt fit like a glove, and we helped him tie the tie. His mom kept telling him to take the shirt off before he got it sweaty, but he really liked it and kept it on.

Other than this, it was just your usual week.

Love,
Elder Nielson
