Great Miracles!

Hello family and friends,

Great miracles have happened this week but as well I received some
surprising sad news. I have been called to serve in Preston for this
next transfer! It has been a extremely short 6 weeks in Stockport and
I will truly miss it. There are amazing members, amazing
investigators, less actives, part member families, and the list goes
on and on.. I have loved my time spent with Elder Lee and I will take
many of the lessons he has taught me with myself and use them with the
brilliant area of Preston! The best part about moving to Preston is
that I am again white washing there! My new companion and I are
starting from scratch. It will be another amazing experience, I know
it will be.

Like I have said before, many great miracles have happened starting
with exchanges with the Manchester Zone Leaders. On exchanges we had a
street display in the heart of Manchester and it was booming! Tons of
people and tons of return appointments! I felt like a wizard, but in
reality Manchester always gets a load of new investigators each day,
but it was a confidence booster that lifted both myself and my
companion to finding 8 new investigators this week alone! We met with
a young man here in Stockport and he has a baptismal date coming very
quickly, I am so excited for him! This past Friday we were coming home
late from the chapel but my companion had a prompting to talk with
this lady on the bus. She is amazing and we set up an appointment for
tonight! She is solid and I hope she gets baptised. Also on Saturday
we were contacting close to the church and started poaching one of the
bus stops and within 1 hour we had 3 new investigators from that stop!
It was crazy!

I remember a quote from my choir class that says "attitude is
everything, so make yours a good one". I know that after the exchange,
my attitude has changed and I have been doing the lords work more
effectively and more productively. I have to find those friends who
are truly needing the blessings of the gospel in their lives.
Love,

Elder Nichols
