Dear friends and family,
What a humbling week Elder
D. and I have had. The baptism was marvelous! N. brought 6 of his
own friends and some are now potentials! He is a spectacular young man and I
love him so much. N's mom also came to the baptism and I met her for the
first time, she is a member and her two other children are not members (but
will soon be(: haha). The baptism was perfect and nothing went wrong. My first
baptism, I only had to dunk him once haha! Let me tell you... I have never felt
the spirit so strongly for so long! Even thinking about it makes me feel so
wonderful! Also the day before we took N to see the Temple! It was...
AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
There have also been more
tender-mercy/ miracles this week, starting with a woman named N! so
yesterday I remembered a less-active member who suffers from depression so we
went and tried to catch him at home, but... he wasn’t home. So we had two
choices; either go to a member who didn’t come to chuch on Sunday or go to two
potential 'invest-a-friends' that lived far away. I felt prompted to go to the
two that lived forever away (; we missed the first bus and the second would
come in 35 min... so we waited in the cold, and waited, and waited, and waited
until I noticed the bus coming up the hill... BUT, we stopped a woman who was
walking her dog. We actually stopped her and visited with her, then BAM! A home
across the street had a house alarm go off... It was so loud, but we continued
to tell her of our message. Once we told her that the Book of Mormon was the
word of God and that God actually existed, she was in tears and she told us
that her day was a rubbish day and that what we were angels who answered her beacon
call! We set up a return appt. and it was amazing!
Then today just a couple hours ago
(on P-Day) I found a boy who loved... Wait for it... aaaaaaaahhhh....
SUPERMAN!!! He had a backpack and everything! Finally my love and my passion
has started to kick in! He is interested and we meet with him tomorrow!!!!
Mom: ask spencer to find Krissy's
sister(s) @ school and give them the two Letters, if not, the Edwards family
lives in the direction of spencers friend 'Tyler' and I bet if you ask around,
you can find. I don’t have an address, but the fathers name is Scott Edwards,
you could also try facebook! haha. How is Spencer by the way? how is Brycie,
how is Coleman Tredwell? I am very jealous that you went to yellowstone without
me!!! haha I hope the rain didn’t stop your fun! Thank you for the packages and
the gloves! They actually came and I have started to use them… oops,
Christmas,I know! Mom I am glad you are keeping busy! keep it up and now with
your new calling with the young women, that’s spectacular! Just make sure you
are not overworking yourself! This mission is amazing and yes if you could send
me Old Spice Deodorant, and cologne that would be fantastic! Also tell Spencer
that he has an email in his inbox and he should look at it! I love you all and
always look forward to these emails!
Love,
Elder Nichols
P.S. Send my regards to Teal and
