We had two baptismal interviews this past week,
which was kind of weird but crazy powerful. We went to the house to do their interviews because they had some problems and couldn't leave. We show up and the zone
leader I was with came and started talking to the couple and the woman
said that she has been thinking about it and just doesn't feel ready to be
baptized but that she didn't have a doubt about what we share but maybe just a bit longer. So then the zone leader went and was interviewing her husband and I was talking with her while they were doing the interview. I was able to help her clear up
alot of doubts that were kind of crazy, stuff she would have never said in front
of her husband, and to help her resolve them. She started crying, and then I
suggested to her to still talk to the interviewer and she said yes,
and when she came out and she passed the interview. She told the interviewer that
she wanted me to baptize and to confirm her, so I will have that opportunity and
the husband is going to have his brother baptize him.

Those are the big hightlights of this past week. This next week
will be baptisms, which I am excited about and asking for all your prayers so that
everything goes well.
I love you all and love the support, and just so you all know, we got new rules about our emails now. I
can now send and recieve emails to and from this email from everyone. We now have more time and can send as many emails as we want to anybody outside of the mission.
I love you all,
Love Elder Nelson
