HOLA FAMILIA Y MIS AMIGOS!
Ok to start of this email, I love Eastland!!! My new companion is SO awesome and we are working so hard together! She has taught me so many things and it's only been a week! The area here is so prepared and the work is for sure hastening out here. We mainly work with all the YSA (which is so weird lol) but we have about 10-15 investigators and we have extended 3 baptismal dates since I've been here! It is so crazy!!!
As for Spanish goes, Me and one other elder are the only people here in the entire ZONE/STAKE who know Spanish, so we have to travel all over the zone to teach people since all the other missionaries are English (even my companion), so it has been an adventure. We actually went to a Spanish funeral this past weekend and I got to translate the whole thing to the other missionaries there. So it has been an experience for sure.
Funny story. So we went over to a recent convert's house for a lesson, and she came to the chapel the next day for our "Teaching in the Savior's way" class, and she looked at us and was like "So I just checked the couch y'all were sitting on last night, and it was INFESTED with little "lice" like bugs. So sorry about that" WHAT. We RAN to the bathroom and just screamed!!! AHHH so gross!! So if I come back from my mission bald, don't be surprised.
I honestly LOVE my new area, and it has been so fun talking to EVERYONE we see. Literally everyone. And it's been amazing to see the change in people going through with their baptismal dates! We have a baptism this Wednesday and I am so excited for that! Some areas you plant seeds, and others you harvest them, and right now we're harvesting! Haha I love y'all so much and this gospel! MISS Y'ALL!!!!
con mucho amor,
Hermana Neilson
