January 19, 2011- The Visas Are Coming!!!!!!!!

Aloha everyone!
  So this past week here has been INCREDIBLE and we have seen soooooo many miracles. We have had people tell us they want to be baptized, investigators actually come to church, and many less active (for like years) finally start to come back to church!!! It is so cool because having an investigator come to church and seeing a less active come both bring incredible joy to missionaries, and more importantly the Lord. It has really taught me to not give up on people and realize that deep down in everyone they are actually hungry to know the truth and that's what the gospel brings. We have seen so many times where we will start to either teach or talk with someone and they are super hard and stiff at first but after just a few minutes of bearing testimony and allowing them to feel the Spirit their attitude changes DRAMATICALLY. But ya, life is absolutely great AND this last week 3 people in my MTC district got their Visas!!! We had dinner at this members house on Sunday and all they did basically was rave about how rad brazil is and I will be super stoked when my visa finally does come!! and carnival is next month so brazil will just be one giant party!! I'm not sure if that's great for missionary work hahah but I love you all and hope that in everything you do in life that you know that your Heavenly Father is there for you and that thru His Son we truly will be the happiest we can possibly be in this life. Give the kids and Mom tons of love for me!!!
Love,
Elder Michael J. Neilson
