People
down here don't celebrate Thanksgiving at all. Everything will probably the same normal
Thursday like always, people down here don't really eat turkey. I might go out and get a completo
or something special to celebrate. Well it's good to hear that everybody in Rexburg
is doing so well and also to hear
about all of the people going on missions. That is so exciting. It is a great
time to be a member and the work is just starting to take off. I love
being here and hearing all of the new of the amount of people starting
mission papers.
Well this week has been really hot, I have been wearing my
short sleeve shirts for the first time since the MTC and that is without a
jacket or anything, we also found alot of new people to teach which is exciting. I
didn't have a baptism this week but I am hoping very soon, with all the people
we have been finding it will be great. We found this great family who are all
intersted so I have very high hopes.
The theme from the sacrament meeting yesterday was attending the temple. I also talked about this with the family I had lunch with yesterday after church. I am living with people where the nearest temple is in Santiago which
is about 12 hours away by bus. Everybody who reads this blog, I am
praying that you never take living so close to temples for granted. Its a huge
sacrifice for the people to go here, for all of the people who read this from
Idaho and Utah and Arizona or where ever you may be, go to the temple as often
as you can. Never take being so close to a temple for granted. I have seen
people who are so poor down here, get all of there expenses together to make a
trip to the temple once a year, and there are many that could walk. We just
cannot take a temple for granted.
Well I hope that everyone in the states is enjoying the nice
cold weather becuase it is finally warm here but I guess we will see who is
laughing in about 6 months haha.
Fun
fact: tomorrow will make 5 months, and these past 3 months have gone by so
fast I can't even believe it. It will be exciting to see in another 3 months. I
am very excited to skype too.
I hope all the best for everyone,
Love Elder Nelson
