The Adventures of Hermana Nelson: Here I am in, well... Flowers :)

August 10, 2015

Hi fam!!

Wow changes changes changes!! but one thing that I have learned in the mission is that Changes are soooo good! I mean you all know how much I will miss Talanga but its just casue the Lord needs me in a differente lugar for right now!

So monday was my last day in Talanga. We had a huge bonfire with thte other hermanas and the young single adults and people came and went and we went around in a circle and all said our goodbyes to eachother. We talked about how many lives have been changed but they all have taught me so much there and have no idea how much they changed mine as well!

I will miss Hna Sequeira so much... mi querida hijita!! haha I have not once seen her cry her whole training and Im not sure if I did either ... I mean til Monday ;) I will miss her tons but she will be such an awesome missionary with my nieta!

Now the real question is..... DRUMROLL.... Im in FLORES!!!! Wanna know where Flores is? Its like 30 minutes out of Comayagua... I just moved back to the SAME EXACT district that I start my mission in.... so its my 3rd area... but 2nd district! And where was District meeting? In Comyayagua... Its like going home :) hahaha. (Were actually in the park wirting in Comayagua right now!) But its crazy cause the chances to come back here were soooo slim casue there just arent that many sisters here the only chance that I had is that If I became sister training leader. So it looks like the Lord put a lot of confidence in me to be looking over these sisters for the neext few changes! but Im so excited! Itll be a blast! Am I right?

My companion is Hermana Niu from Hawaii! So that means this is the first companionship that I will have that I cant just look at my compnaion when they use words I dont know... and its the saem for her... SO that means we will be teaching eachother a bunch of english. Yes english. Its hard ;)

so flores is a small town. Like really small town... its goes like pueblo then ildea. So hey dad it look like you got the small town girl that you always wanted... I guess I was just never meant to go to the city! haha but honestly working in branches are so fun!

We are currently teaching Hno Adalid. Its a completar familia. His wife is a recent convert but he has been baptized casue he is scared that he will be baptized then fall hard. He just has fears. We asked him... Hermano. what is your biggest fear? And he just sat there for a second. En pocas palabras he just said displeasing God. But ALL of us are pleasing God... as long as we follow the commandments. As long as we are really striving to do our best every day... we will be blessed. Casue Gods love for us is uncondicional. He loves us no matter what...but when we want to see all the abundace of blessings and miricles in our lives... weve gotta follow the commandments and serve.

I love you all so much! Sending my love from flores!!
