Productive Week

FROM THE VIDEO CALL - Elder Nielson reports that they had a productive week this week. They had 7 investigators to church a week ago and were able to set baptismal dates for 4 of them. L--'s mother wasn't able to come to church due to work obligations, but she is progressing well and should be baptized soon also.

He confirmed that he will be staying an extra transfer due to the government extending missionary visas. He is excited about that. So he will arrive home October 16th instead of September 3.

As part of his duties in the office, Elder Nielson helps schedule flights home for missionaries. He was dealing with one stake president who wasn't happy about the arrangements that had been made for one of the missionaries, but it was the best route available. It could be the missionaries family was putting pressure on the stake president and he was representing the family's concerns. So he was trying to figure out the best way to handle things to resolve the issue.

Janice was in Logan this weekend with Maci for a choir concert. So Elder Nielson got to chat with Uncle Wayne, Aunt Shellie, and Grandma Caldwell was there also.

This week is sounds like they will be doing some moving of missionaries to new apartments.

It's a blessing to be able to see and talk with our missionary. He is healthy and happy in the work.
