Happy February everyone!
It is starting to look like the summertime here in southern
Chile has already ended as it has been really cold here and very rainy all
week. Today has been the coldest that it has been in a long time with having to
wear a sweater and a jacket. I think it is going to be a very cold winter here
but that's alright because I won't be here in the winter.
So, we have been super busy with teaching this week, we
found a really great litttle family of four, but it is weird because
they are basically the same age that I am, they are 21 and 20 (she was born
in the same month that I was born) and have two daughters of 3 and 1 years,
they are great, we are going to have to marry them because they aren't married
but that hopefully won't be a problem, they have been reading the book of mormon
and love the plan of salvation so it will be great to keep teaching them.
I did an intercambio this past week with an Elder from El
Salvador, it was great, his name is Elder Quezada and I have known him for a
long time as he is from the same group as me, that is one of the things that I love from the mission is getting to know so many people from all over the
world. I have friends from Argentina, Chile, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala,
Peru, Brazil, Mexico, Ecuador, Panama, Venezuela etc, it is awesome.
Well, we are still getting really excited and preparing for
the visit of the Apostle Ballard in a couple weeks, it is going to be a great
experience, we have been focusing alot on inviting people to go and to see him,
the only problem is that it is a little away from puerto montt, about 30
minutes by bus outside in the town of Puerto Varas but it is going to be a
great experience.
Well, I hope everyone is doing well, on Saturday I started a
D&C countdown where I start with seccion 138 and read a section everyday
going down haha, crazy how the time flies.
I hope all is well, I love you all.
Love, Elder Nelson
