Hello family and friends!
Wow what a miracle of a week my
companion and I have had! We have been working our very hardest in finding
those who need the wonderful gospel in their lives. Last Tuesday we had a
District Meeting, the Zone Leaders where there, President Ulrich was there, and
the ward mission leader was there! It almost felt like the whole mission was in
on our District Meeting. The worst part about it was that Elder Weggersen and I
had to give a training (lesson) on how to use time wisely!! It’s been a while
since I've been that nervous haha. Everything went well and according to plan.
When we were preparing our plan, I came across something super important. First
off I was reading the talk from General Conference 'To the Rescue: We Can Do
It' by - Elder Mervyn B. Arnold. He talks about how we need to rescue people,
so in my thoughts I thought that this is what we are doing as missionaries! We
are literally going out every day not to find people to baptize but to go to
the rescue and save those brothers and sisters who need the Gospel in their
lives! Once Elder Weggersen and I went out with that mind-set we helped rescue
loads of people! God works in mysterious ways and its crazy! Just like Nephi,
he wanted to know the mysteries of God so he prayed and received an answer.
After his answer he did amazing things! The same principal apply to missionary
work!
Anyway, we've been doing loads of
tracting, loads of member visits, and tons of trudging through the wonderful
rain and I have to say, I love every single minute! We have had so many great
things happening and everything has been going really well that it made my
heart sink when reality closed in on me; Transfers are in two days... But we
both are staying!!! So. Ribble is full of ready people and I love it!
Thank you all for your nice emails!
I enjoy them so much, they all make my day that much sweeter! Thank you also
for all the support you give all the missionaries and me in the field!
Mom, and Family: Jimminy Christmas!
Spencer, lookin like a big, handsome, stud muffin! I cannot believe that you
had your last Prom! How was it? Caitlyn looks like a gem! You are the man! Mom!
It sounds like you are having fun, but don’t remind me that it’s already been 8
months!! ha-ha its ok, it just made me laugh ;) I cannot believe how fast time
flies by! Bryce, way to be with those merit badges! Get a ton of them and get
more than me!!! Work harder than me on that because it pays off. I love you all
and keep staying classy!! Love you lots
Love,
Elder Nichols
