This week has been a bit crazy! We had
100 missionaries come in on Tuesday and Wednesday. And we have 40 more
coming in this week. Also, transfers are this week, so we think they
will be on Wednesday and we will get calls tonight to find out the news.
But with more missionaries coming, we honestly don't know what will
happen or if it will change soon. We didn't get anyone in our
companionship, but the sisters we live with did. Her name is sister
Thompson and she served in Indonesia before here. She is super awesome!
It's fun to have her. And we are always with them, so we are basically
one big companionship.
But we had another
lesson with Juan and he is so excited to learn the truths of the gospel
and the beauties of the plan God has for us. It is so refreshing to know
there are people in this world who are seeking God, and how happy they
can be as they learn who He really is, and therefore who they really
are.
My birthday on Wednesday was wonderful!
Thanks for all of the emails of love and support :) I'm very loved and
very spoiled. And I got to talk with my parents 3 times this week
because of that and mother's day. So of course, speaking of mother's
day, my mom is my hero. I don't have words to express my gratitude for
her. She has loved me unconditionally, she has supported me through my
crazy life. She has sacrificed her body, time, and sanity for me. She
lives her testimony and instilled in me the truths of eternity and a
knowledge that my Heavenly Father loves me. Everything that I am, that I
have become, is thanks to everything she has given me. And again to my
grandmother's for their examples of the light of Christ, of selfless
service, charity, and smiles. And being mothers to my parents. I am
blessed with a loving family and the best gift of having them forever. I
know that family is ordained of God and the purpose of our lives to
have eternal joy with our earthly family now, and with them in
eternities when we return to our heavenly family.
Stay safe and have a boppin' week!
Love, hermana Nielson :D
