Hello Everyone!
Our new convert got the Priesthood
yesterday! He is such and incredible young man, and I cannot wait to see how he
grows and progresses in life! Now, because of his amazing example and the
Spirit of the Lord, N's brother C.. has accepted baptism for the 21st of this
month! We wish it could be sooner, but this coming Saturday and Sunday is Stake
Conference so we worked with what we could. There is an amazing glow that is in
C.'s life and not only has he accepted baptism, he has a testimony of Joseph
Smith and prophets and when we showed him a picture of Pres. Thomas S. Monson,
he asked "is that the prophet today?" "I know that he is the
prophet today!". I love the L. family! And also because of the brothers
example, their mother wants to be retaught the lessons and come back to church!
And because of this chain reaction, the sister, has become interested, so last
night when we were teaching C., she sat, from a distance, and listened to what
our message was. We hope more than anything that she feels the Gospel enter her
life as well as the Holly Ghost, who testifies only of truth.
I, myself am doing great and am
loving the work! The weather is not as bad as I thought it would be. It starts
getting dark at about 4:30 each day, but you don't even think about time when
you are focused on the Lords work! I miss everyone back home and I feel the
love and support from the ward each and every day, but I know that there are
people waiting to taste the sweet fruit of the Gospel so it can improve lives
and give people a reason and a purpose in life.
Mom and Family: Let Grandma know
that I will be praying for her health! Spencer, I am so proud to hear about
swimming! That is so great and good luck. Also, look at your email inbox, I
sent you a letter a couple weeks ago :) Bryce! Science fair project! What is
your project? Dad keep going with being a teacher! "be a school teacher
and marry one too" ;) Mom, keep going and keep busy! First lesson with the
Beehives!!! Time flies by when you are busy and active! Don’t let stress get in
the way of anything and your life will be fun and happy. Mom, try your best not
to send any packages to my flat address, only letters and even with that be
careful cause they arrive about two weeks after you send them. I will send a
personal letter for what I'd like for Christmas.
Love,
Elder Scott Nichols
