This is his email from 12/5/2016:
we usually study until about noon, just various stuff, and
then we go out and visit members, less actives, investigators and referrals.
then come home, plan for tomorrow, then go to bed.
the ward is great, they are very nice, the bishop and ward
miss. pres. are great they are helpful. the spanish is coming slowly, it is
more difficult to understand them. but it is slowly getting easier.
how does the sharing my emails work again? and what is it
called too. Nelson wants to recieve it too.
btw this was my district, and will you add them also to the
"Lukie Times" the "Lukie Planet" or wathever you call it,
por favor. gracias.
Elder Nielson
Here are the emails from 12/12/2016
To Ross:
for christmas right now i
would like some ties, maybe some tiebars, and another of the mission belts.
ties with cool or interesting designs. i would love a doctor who tie, but
we arent supposed to have ties with pictures or caricatures.
we are in Ysleta, and in the
San Elizario area, one guy finished his mission and went home, so we combined
with the other guy, so we have a trio and double area. im getting along well
with them both, Elder Jones is from Utah, and our
new trio comp, Elder Faber, is
from the lacey stake, and we went to the same camp helaman, we didnt know each
other, but once we started talking we found this out. on P-Day, we usually go
shopping and clean and play sports as a zone.
on christmas we will go to a
members house and skype with you. if you could give me the name to your skype
that would be great. we are planning to skype around noon or one your time, but
if things change i will let you know next week.
at the store i found a pie face,
and thought of you i dont remember how much it was, but i thought it was funny.
i was wondering if you could
send me a thing or two that i have at home, like my black nike coat, and my
white cardinal waterbottle wherever it is. if i think of anything else i will
let you know.
A spiritual/funny thing
happened yesterday. we just combined with the other area today so it was just
Jones and i, and we decided to fast for our investigators, and to get more new
investigators. we did find two possible investigators that we set a return
appointment with, and the San Elizario area showed us a list of their
investigators, and it was a good sized list. they arent new investigators, but
they are new to us, so that was funny. but any way the fasting did work, in an
odd way but it was good.
we had two baptisms this week,
they were inherited investigators. i baptized one my comp the other, their aunt
is the only member so now we are going to teach the rest of the family. we also
have a lot of investigators coming from San Eli that are close to baptism, so
we might have a lot of baptisms in the next while.
last thing can you send me a
list of everyone who can see my emails, plz and thnx.
love yous, have fun stormin the castle.
