Hey everyone!
I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!! It was super good to be able to call home and talk with you guys!!! Hopefully Mom's health is improving and the doctors will get her back home A.S.A.P! So this last week was fantastic!! Christmas Eve we got to help the Bishop and some High Counsel Members take Christmas Packages to some of the families in the Spanish ward who are going thru tough financial times, they were all soooo gracious and it felt so great to be able to perform this service for them. We (like all missionaries) seek for service opportunities every day and it is such a blessing for us when we are able to help others! It makes us feel good and feel closer to Christ while at the same time giving others a good taste of what our church is about: Service. If you ever see an opportunity to serve, take it. Mom is a pretty amazing example of this. Christmas day was incredible too! We got to teach a lesson to one of our investigators in the morning, do some more street contacting, call home in the afternoon, eat dinner at a member's home (they are a super cool cute little old couple from Columbia) and then play football with the rest of the Elders in our zone! So fun, and yet so tiring haha. Our numbers for the Christmas weekend were pretty low and we weren't too pleased with that. So. We hit the pavement running on Monday and to start off this week we have shattered our street contacting record and our return appointments off of street contacts (if that makes any sense haha). Work solves everything. If you are constantly giving it your all and doing everything in your power to raise the voice of warning, then all other worries go away. It is such a fulfilling feeling to know that you truly have worked your hardest. I love you all and wish you a great New Year (Ano Nuevo)!!!! Give the little ones and Mom tons of love for me!!!!!
Love,
Elder Michael J. Neilson
