Murcia!!‏

AH man Ah man

NO mucho tiempo, pero. Yaáll gotta know, I¨m in the best city in the best mission with the BEST Mission President and Mom, and the BEST Companera with the BEST barrio (ward) full of member missionaries on fire! And all I gotta say is that Murcia doesn´t know what´s hit her... I¨m in Murcia (pronounced Mor-thee-uh with the lovely Spanish theta).. I can´t even believe it, gotta meet President and HErmana Clegg on Friday and my companion, I pegged her from the first second. I´m most grateful for her, she´s just like me, 5 10´´, we have the exact same birthday, we both love basketball and running, country music, missionary work and... We are the same person. Okay, not really. But I gotta say, we do have a bit of an intimidating factor together, with our height.. Ha, two contactos en the street with these teenage girls alone, that were both quivering, all we said ¨HOla, we´re missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ, do you believe in God? And they looked like they were going to cry.. Ha it´s so hard not to giggle, because we´re the furthest thing from harmful, but we´re just both so tall and excited and... Yeah.

Entonces, Ah Hermana Ross, seriously, she´s so great, she´s encouraging, she´s patient with me, and she lets me participate, even though I havén´t got a clue of what I¨m doing right now. She´s well seasoned as a missionary, shés been out a year, she´s awesome in the language, and we´ve only had a couple lessons so far, but she´s powerful as a teacher and a representative of Jesus Christ.

Our sweet little EUropean apartment has got serious character, and it´s actually pretty big, 4 rooms. But.. Anyways, our ward is incredible. I can barely keeep all. the names straight, like I said, member missionaries, I don´t know what we would do without their help. All of our investigators right now, except for a couple, are friends or relatives of our members. It´s powerful, The members are all ready, with their sleeves rolled up! Por ejemplo, Saturday, my first day, Carmen (member) shows up to the R.S. activity with a friend she met on the street, Rafaela, (Carmen told us that she has been praying for weeks to find someone she can share the gospel with and then she meets Rafaela whose struggling with various things in her life).. Welp, Rafaela came to church and this activity and we have a meeting with her this week. Tender mercy.

I don´t have time, so I just want you guys to know that ͨm so overwhelmed with all of the things that I have to learn, but I have to much hope and excitement, because I know this is the Lórd´s work and he´s gooing to help me do it, I just gotta give him my heart and obey every little rule and commandment and it´s all going to buff out ( in the words of Brooke Maples). I know that Christ is our Savior, he´s the only way we can return to God again! WE just need faith in him. I love you guys, thanks so much for your love and support, I don´t get a single second to think about you and then I come read all of these emails and I just have chills all up and down my body because I can feel your love and I´m so grateful for that.

Have a great week for me,

HErmana NElson
