June 11, 2012- For All Eternity

Hey Everyone!!

So Winter decided to show up a little early this year and this week we saw the temperature drop SIGNIFICANTLY. It was a really busy week and we were blessed to find a new family who is really excited about the gospel of Jesus christ and the fact that His church has once again been restored on the earth. We also got to watch the dedication of the Temple in Manuas. It was a great experience as both Pres. Uchtdorf and Elder Cook were there conducting and presiding at the dedication. The Temple is such an incredible blessing in our lives,it being the only place on earth where a couple or family can be united for all eternity! We taught another family this week about the blessings of the Temple and the Spirit was incredibly strong! I hope everything is great back home!!! Happy Birthday to Mom, too!!!!!! I hope you guys have Grasshopper pie!!!!! Give the little one some loves!!!!!

Love,

June 25, 2012- Back to College


Hey Everyone!!

This week was another really rushed/busy week which is great! We had a really cool experience this week tho. We were on the local bus the other day and a young woman approached us, told us how she is a member of the Church and aske dus if we could go to her Nursing course at the local University and respond to questions about the Church´s position on some health matters. So we went and they asked questions like "In the Church´s eyes, what is health?" , "What do you believe sickness is?" , "What is the cure to sickness" and we were able to respond really simply to the questions. They kept asking questions i regard to health until they just started asking all sorts of questions which gave us the chance to teach them about the Restoration of the gospel and Church of Jesus Christ and how the Book of Mormon came about. They LOVED what we taught and many of them asked for Book of Mormons and the professor even gave us his address so that we could stop by his house and teach him more! It went super well! I hope you all had a great week tho and enjoy Summer vacation as school has ended!! Give the kids lots of loves for me!!!

Love,

Elder Michael J. Neilson
