My companion is named Elder Dunn, he is from Goodyear,
Arizona. He just barely finished his training, so that is fun to be with a
young elder (18) with good energy and is excited to work here in ancud. I am
really excited for this next cambio.In our branch, i heard that normally about
30-40 attend but yesterday in church we had 65 which was great for here and we
are going to be having even more growth here, as there are 6 missionaries in
ancud, 4 sisters and us two elders. To get here to chiloè, we have to take a
bus from puerto montt about an hour and a half, and then a boat for about 30
minutes and then a bus for another 30 minutes as it is at the north of chiloé.
Friday night we had an activity in the church, and right
before the children were practicing for their primary program, and i got in and
asked them if they would like a piano player and the primary president was so
excited and grateful, and so were all the children, as they al want to be
taught the piano. It was alot of fun, all the branch enjoyed to have music and
it was nice to have a piano again and not a little keyboard as we had in
muermos.
Well, i had to say good bye to muermos which was hard, but
it ended a good time in my mission. Hard, but i feel like i grew the most while
i was in muermos, i feel like that changed me alot as a missionary and as
person, i recognize how the church works and how i need to be as a member
and as a follower of Christ.
Well i hope all have a wonderful thanskgiving, it looks like
here in chile they will be doing absolutley nothing as it doesnt exist but i
hope that all have a wonderful time and eat a ton of turkey for me.
Love you all
Elder Nelson
