Good Afternoon and back on fire!

Good Afternoon!

All I can say is wow... "WOW"  Elder Ellis and myself are back
together and back to being on Fire!! He is my greatest friend and the
enjoyable moments we have together are priceless. It is such a
blessing to be back with him. As well, being back here in Stockport
has been a shock. Members that I barley knew before were so thrilled
to see me back in the ward! We'd better use that to our advantage and
try for referrals from those friends ;)

We had a miracle yesterday: on Tuesday we met a lovely lady at her
door as we were tracting. As we discussed the gospel a bit, Elder
Ellis and myself set up a return appt with her for Thursday. As the
days past we were quite excited to have an actual lesson with her. As
we approached her home Thursday afternoon, we met her daughter and she
told us that her mother (the lady who we wanted to see) was not home.
With a touch of sadness in our hearts we were still determined to
contact her soon. Just yesterday, after church, we asked a recent
convert to come with us to various teaching appts. As we went out
contacting different investigators, our appts also fell through.. then
we at last decided to try by this lady we met on Tuesday. As we
knocked on the door, she opened up and immediately invited us in! We
taught her the Restoration and now she is, at the moment, our most
progressing investigator! It was a member-missionary-miracle!!!

My brothers and sisters, I have a testimony centred on our beloved
Saviour Jesus Christ. He is our Redeemer and our king. As he performed
the atonement, he showed us the greatest sacrifice and love. Because
of the law of an Opposition In All Things, Christ gave the hardest
sacrifice to express the greatest love ever imaginable. One principle
We may not realize all the time is that the Atonement plays a huge
part at our Saviors Resurrection! This was a critical point in
regards to the Atonement. As we make mistakes and commit sins we go
through a Spiritual Death but through the Atonement and repentance, we
may have a Spiritual Rebirth! Mosiah 16:8-9 states "But there is a
resurrection, therefore the grave hath no victory, and the sting of
death is swallowed up in Christ.
He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is
endless, that can never be darkened; yea, and also a life which is
endless, that there can be no more death."
He saviour set the path for us to follow. We need never doubt nor fear
or have any confusion on what will happen to us after this life, we
know from example! I know this is true. I love you all, in Jesus
Christ's name, amen.

Mom & Fam: Congrats Spencer! What a great opportunity! I'd love to
hear from you soon! My cold only lasted about 3 days so I didn't quite
have pneumonia ;) it's been gone for a while now haha. Well I have
little to say to all of you.. I love you and am so excited for what
the future holds for us as a happy family! Keep up the stupendous
work. Mom, keep doing what you love!! You must've been sore from your
Saturday trip :) love you all!!


Love,
Elder Nichols
