Feliz Navidad!!
This last week was a good week, we are slowly finding a lot
more people to be teaching which is great. We have been working really hard and
are starting to see some more people that are ready to receive this gospel.
This Friday was great because we had a big family home
evening in the church with all of the members and the missionary work was in
charge of everything. We put the sisters in charge of the lesson and activity
and the elders (elder Dunn and I) were in charge of the refreshments. The
sisters shared something on love or something like that we weren't really there,
so for the refreshments, we were going to do sopapillas (like little scones),
but it was so hot that we decided to change it up and we made a ice cream
sundae bar. That was such a big hit, they all loved it on this super hot day as
it has been around 24-30 degrees Celsius, we had strawberries and chocolate
syrup and nuts and a bunch of other tings and everybody loved it, I don't think
that's something that they had really had before.
This week, I ended up doing another intercambio with the
zone leaders, I did it with an elder from Lima, Peru, and I stayed in Ancud
directing the sector. We had a really good day.
Well, I had a really bad problem with my allergies (worse
than that time we played mini golf), my eyes swelled up really bad to where I
couldn't see and were really red. on Sunday in church, everybody thought that I
had a black eye because my eye was so dark and huge and swollen, i may have
discovered an allergy to cats, haha good, because I am never going to have cats
anyway.
Well, I am very excited for this Christmas, it is going to
be a great time, being able to serve the person, of which we are celebrating
his birth. What a special time of the year. I am so thankful for our Salvador,
and I know that He lives. We need to strive to keep the most Christ in
christmas as possible ad really celebrate this special time. I know that i am
far away from home but get to be a little closer this Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all.
Love, Elder Nelson
