HOLA MIS AMIGOS!
This week was so amazing!!!! I LOVED conference!!! Also shout out to Brayden Chase for making the big screen! When I was watching Elder Rasband's talk and then he started talking about his grandchildren seeing each other while his grandson was on a mission, I was like that's brayden!!! and then they showed a picture and i jumped at the member's house and was like "I KNOW HIM!!!" bahaha the members were dying. Such a small world in the church.
But this week was so good because I FINALLY UNDERSTAND SPANISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So a little background info to those who don't know how the spanish thing works here, basically there's 10 hermanas and 40 elders who speak spanish in our mission. Well there's only 9 branches, so all of the elders get the spanish branches and all the hermanas don't. So most of the time we have an english companion, and then if we find spanish people (aka all of Hereford) we have to teach them ourselves. So it takes FOREVER to learn spanish. And sometimes you have to cover the whole zone if you are the only spanish missionary (like my last area). So this week we went to go see a member of our congregation, and i was super nervous because she only knows spanish, and i'm still learning ya know? Well we got there and i understood EVERYTHING!!!! It was a gift of tongues miracle!!!!!! It was so exciting hhaha. This never happens!!!! So that was awesome.
Also something sad, but kind of funny happened this week. We went to go see our investigator Bryson (who was progressing like crazy) and we biked over to his place in the rain. Well when we got there he came out and was like "I have some bad news, my family thinks we should take a break" we were SHOCKED so i was like "What? We've only been seeing each other for 3 weeks!" and then he was like "I know, but I'll text you when this all blows over" so then we started biking away, and me and sister linford just started busting up laughing on the way back because it totally felt like we were being dumped. bahahha worst than any break up i've had.
Anywho, I can't believe I turn 20 this week. I'm so old!!!! haha but Im glad that I am able to spend my birthday in the service of our Lord. I really do love being a missionary so much, and i love that I have the opportunity to share this message in this little ghetto town of Hereford. Thanks for all y'alls prayers and emails. I am so lucky to be #blessedwiththebest (shout out to Tiersha and Tahnee)
See y'all next week!!!!!
con mucho amor,
Hermana Neilson
