HOLA MIS AMIGOS Y MI FAMILIA!
Ok to start off, I love Eastland! We had a baptism on Wednesday and it went so well!!! It is amazing to watch someone go through the conversion of the gospel, I love it! Also, since I'm the 1 of 2 missionaries covering Spanish for the whole zone, I've been teaching in Spanish a ton! I finally got to say the first vision in Spanish and wow TEARS the spirit was so strong and we have a SPANISH INVESTIGATOR NOW. WOOT WOOT. His name is Jose, and he is just awesome. ALSO, another cool Spanish thing, we went out contacting 2 nights ago, and we got to this door, and the lady opened it and I started talking and she said "No habla ingles" (I don't speak Spanish) and so I went FULL OUT Mexican on her. So little to say, we have a return appointment with her :))) haha she was pretty shocked to say the least.
We also got to go to the temple this past weekend in Lubbock, and the Sealer pulled me and my companion aside, and gave us this LONG talk about eternal marriage and what to look for in a husband and stuff like that, and wow. Good thing I have 13 more months before I got to worry about that kind of stuff! ;)) But the temple was awesome, we went with a ton of Branch members, and we're planning on taking our recent converts to the Dallas temple on March 25th!! So we are way excited about that one!
I am honestly loving the people out here in Eastland a TON. And our branch is amazing! This gospel is so good, and something I've been working on this week is the power of prayer and praying with exactness! We are striving our hardest to be exactly obedient and diligent in everything we do, and I feel like we are making so much progress here! I love being a missionary!
Con MUCHO amor,
Hermana Neilson
Ps. Enjoy some pics from goats, to biking, to the temple :))
