The Adventures of Hermana Nelson: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

December 28, 2015

Hey sorry I skipped last week!!!

But I just want to wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! aw it was SOOOO great to be able to talk to all of you over skype!! And little Aspen? She's SO BIG!! Im pretty sure I heard her say FAVORITE AUNTIE AUBIE at one point ;) Sorry Aim!

This week was sooo great! Honestly the best time of the year to be a missionary!!

I dont think I have ever eaten so much in my entire life!! I was starting to feel a little sad cause about 2 days before Chirstmas we didnt really have anywhere to go for dinner, Well Like I have said before.... DON'T PREUMPT. The people are so great here annnd well lets just say that we had a few more than a few dinners all within like 5 hours of each other. The people here are all sooo giving. Even if they dont have anything they for the least have a little cracker to give or a cookie.... maybe another tamale but it for sure is the SEASON OF GIVING!! but it hasn't ended yet!! don't end yet!

We had the coolest experience this Chirstmas. We went up to the Mercedes to our citas that we had made but no one was home.... but we didn't want to leave without teaching anyone so we went to the pulperia (store in house) where some lady had self contacted her the other day. It started off a little something like...

¨¨Hermanas you look so happy.... I just want to know where I can find that. I remember feeling peace in my life one time but I want to feel it again¨¨

Little does she know that that Book of Mormon we gave her is about to change her life and bring her so much peace.

At the beginning of my mission I still remember the first time I had to testify that the Book of Mormon was true. I hoped it was true I had faith it was true and I came on my mission with that hope and faith. So I just started reading and reading and reading. I wanted to have the certainty of a TESTIMONY. I never had an angel or some loud voice yelling me and telling of the truthfulness. It came much more smoothly. Like Elder Bednar says... Its not like a light switch that one day turns on inside of you... its like a sun rising into the new day. It will come gradually and you feel in in your heart. And now I can say without a doubt.... It is so true and it changes lives. So read it and feel the light inside of you :)

I love you all! Merry Christmas!!
