Hey Everyone!!
This week has definitely been an interesting week! Our zone leaders called last Wednesday and told us that our area is going to be taken over by some sister missionaries this transfer - which happens to be on Wednesday, so I'm getting moved to Ardmore, Oklahoma! My new address will be:
300 Sunset Drive SW Apt #343
Ardmore, OK 73401
It should be a blast, but first I'll reminisce about this week a little! It's been a pretty sweet week, with some neat miracles and experiences. First on my list is on Wednesday, shortly after we got that call the member we were out with introduced us to his friend Gary because we were just driving past his house and he thought it would be good, which it was. We had a pretty sweet gospel discussion, sadly he didn't decide to get baptized or anything, but I think we definitely helped him clear up some of his opinions on our religion. He was a pretty knowledgeable guy, so it was fun talking to him and hearing the member and him exchange stories about Vietnam.
On Thursday, we did a ton of planning and preparations but then got to go out and see some awesome peoples. We got to visit with Ken, and we decided to watch "Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration" with him, which was just awesome. If you haven't seen it, check it out! It's about an hour long, so you might want to just finish reading this email and then come back and click the link ;)
Another sweet miracle/visit this week was on Friday with Laurel, where we had a great discussion on the Gospel of Jesus Christ lesson - which she basically was able to teach to us since we had given her the pamphlet last time and she had studied that thing pretty thoroughly. It was fun to not just talk at someone but actually be able to dive a little deeper with them and talk about the cool points of the lesson and not just the basics, so that was sweet.
This Saturday was pretty dang sweet, since we woke up early to go play some tennis with an awesome family in the ward and it was just a blast. Some of their kids were pretty good, but gratefully nobody got hurt (severely) in the act.
On a different note, I've had some fun studying this week in Alma, chapters 3-9, and in the Doctrine and Covenants Sections 103-108. So, some quick scriptures for y'all to check out and figure out why I liked them!

- Alma 4:19
- Alma 5:14, 26, 38-39, 62
- Alma 6:6
- Alma 7:11-16
- Alma 7:23-24
- Alma 8:22
- Alma 9:19-21

- D&C 105:5-6
- D&C 107:18-20
- D&C 107:99
- D&C 108:8
Also this week, I read a discourse by Elder Melvin Ballard titled "Three Degrees of Glory" which was pretty sweet. He goes through and talks about the three degrees of glory (obviously), and expounds on some of the things contained in D&C 76 and 88, so it was pretty cool.
Aside from all that... there isn't much else going down this week besides moving to a new area, so I hope y'all have a fantastic week! Love y'all!
'Til Next Time,
Elder Jordan Nielson
