Hey Everyone!!
How are y'all doing?!? This week was pretty awesome, up until it snowed yesterday and church was cancelled... but aside from that it was a great week! I've had some good studies, we've had some awesome visits, and some fun in the snow ;)
To start out today, I'll talk a little bit about what I've been studying, since I know you all just love reading these things ;) First though, they changed the home page of LDS.org again, so y'all should go check it out. It's pretty neat, and the article I saw when I was looking at it I quite enjoyed:https://www.lds.org/topics/
- 1 Nephi 15:11, 24
- 1 Nephi 11:17
- 1 Nephi 13: 32, 39, 41
- 1 Nephi 14:14
- D&C 6... the entire section, but specifically verses: 7,14-16,22-24,29-31, and 34-37
- D&C 10: 66
- D&C 11:18, 20, 21, 30
- D&C 14:8
- D&C 18:4-5, 19-21, 27
- D&C 19: 23, 28
Those are the main scriptures that have stuck out in my studies this week, if you think you know why tell me ;) Aside from that I've been reading some talks throughout this week, and one that I particularly liked was this one:TALK! After y'all are done with that one, you can finish reading my email ;)
Space to encourage you to go watch this talk :P
Anyway, onto the highlights of my week! This week absolutely flew by, but one of the first highlights I'll mention is that after emailing last week we went to Chick-fil-a, which made me super happy ;) It's a little ways away, but totally worth it. Moving on, another highlight this week was getting to watch The Testaments (a church movie) with the Smith family, as I really love that movie and how much it testifies of Christ throughout. So that day was automatically sweet.
Then on Wednesday we got to have a member out with us in the afternoon, which was awesome as he was willing to do a bit of tracting with us and we saw a ton of miracles while with him. So... moral of the story... don't be afraid to do tracting with the missionaries - it's worth it ;)
Thursday was a bit of a sadder day, as we found out that Elizabeth's grandma was in the hospital and probably not going to make it (and we've since found out that she's passed away), so if you could pray for her and her family that would be awesome. We were able to talk about Alma 40 with her, which went super well, and the spirit was super strong there so that was good. We also had an awesome lesson with another couple we visit with - Mark and Jennifer - who could really use your prayers to help them feel the spirit move them to go to church... as the reason they weren't planning on coming this week was due to the super bowl ;)
Friday was pretty neat as we met a less active member who was just moving into our ward, so that was pretty cool. It's interesting how the Lord works to make sure people don't get lost ;)
The highlight of this week though, was definitely Saturday, as even though Elder Park was sick there were still a ton of awesome things happening. We had breakfast with this awesome member family, and since our appointment cancelled we did a mini-exchange so that they could still go to theirs so I was able to watch over Elder Park and spend a little time reading "The Infinite Atonement" By Elder Callistar, which is a super awesome book. We also had dinner with an awesome family - homemade pizza! It was super fun, as they let us put the toppings and such on, afterwhich we all headed to the church for some volleyball. Volleyball was awesome, as we had about 10 people there for the most part, and two of them were a couple the other Elders are teaching, so that was fun. Then when we woke up Sunday to see it starting to snow... we were a bit disappointed as it was almost guaranteed that church would be cancelled but they waited until about an hour before to make the call. But oh well, we still had a great week!
So... to summarize, we had a great week and y'all should pray for:
- Elizabeth and her family (grandmother)
- Mark and Jennifer (Church)
- Smiths (Church)
I hope y'all have an awesome week! Love ya!
'Til Next Time,
Elder Jordan Nielson
