I'M STAYING IN BROWNFIELD!!!

HOLA Y'ALL!!

  Ok so transfer calls came and I get to stay in Brownfield this transfer with Sister Melendez!!!! WOOT WOOT!!! this is my first companionship not being in a trio hahah so it's a lot more quiet. Yesterday was MLK day so all of the libraries were closed. But I just wanted to write about an experience we had this week. We were out contacting, and a recent convert was texting us things like "I started drinking and smoking again and I hate myself" and all these things, and we just kept telling her how much we loved her and everything, but it was way more serious, and so we thought we'd go visit her. Well we went to her house and she wasn't home so then we went and checked her work, and she wasn't home either. So we were kind of panicking. I said to my comps "let's go check the church building", so we drove over there, but the road was blocked so we couldn't get there! So we started to take a back way to the building, and we passed a lake and HER CAR WAS THERE! So we pulled over into the park and found her just sobbing and miserable. We just sat there and let her cry to us for like 20-30 minutes and then gave her some words of comfort. She is struggling so much. But we just told her how much our father in heaven loves her and how she is so worth it! So we watched her drive back home and we've been making sure to check up on her and everything, and she seems to be doing a lot better! But we're keeping her in our prayers.
  It has been raining and flooding a ton here but this week was pretty good. I love this gospel so much and the joy it can bring to people. I love y'all so much and i pray for y'all everyday. Thanks for the constant prayers and letters and everything, it honestly means the world to me out here in Brownfield. THE GOSPEL IS SO TRUE.

CON MUCHO AMOR,
Hermana Neilson
