Hi Hello!!!!

Hi Hello!!!! (cute words of my companion always lol)                                 
 This week has been really great. I have learned even more of God's love for his children and also how he can change our hearts if we will pray and strive. Receiving Charity as a gift is real and I know that if we ask and strive to develop it, we can become more like the Savior and find more joy in our journey :) plus of course help many others along the way.

So I think I mentioned before, but this transfer I spend many many hours online chatting, calling, emailing, texting. Some evenings from 6-9pm staring at the computer. I feel like I'm going to have weird back or wrist problems lol but I have really loved it. Of course there are some weird ones and some argumentative people. But I have seen so many humble and open hearted people.. I love to get to talk to them, and even though my teaching is limited to short little phone calls or chat over the internet, I have felt a great amount of love and amazing how God works. Like who knew that getting a verse-a-day app would lead to so many people requesting a Bible, who would lead to being open to missionaries coming and sharing more about the Book of Mormon as well as the Bible, and then who investigate the restored gospel and find so much clarity and peace. It has been amazing to see just this last month of how many people were baptized starting with VC/ONline missionary work from our VC. (that we know of). Over 30! It really isn't about a missionary having so many baptisms as it is about working together to help everyone come and stay! 
Sis Lor and I


I had exchanges with Sister Lor, one of my best sisters here. I love her so much! She can make anyone feel like her friend and we had so many miracles on chat. It brings me back to days in 6th/7th grade Instant messaging lol. But so many people are prepared and would accept the truth, but they "know not where to find it". That is so true!!

Also, because I am imperfect, I had a few days of feeling down on myself or not being patient with my own weaknesses and everything, but by being negative I realllllly saw how big of an impact my attitude about myself affected others (especially my comp). We both have our different trials, but even though it wasn't between us, it caused a lot of problems and it helped me see the importance of staying positive with ourselves, and looking outward, because when we look inward too much, we tend to hurt others around us. It's a weird thing, but I am soooo grateful God can help us to have Faith Hope Charity Patience Virtue Humility, Diligence, Obedience and Knowledge! It's amazing.

Well It's been interesting but a good week. Flies by and each week is basically the same. But I love that I have such a unique opportunity and ability to invite others from around the world to come unto Christ :) (I decided to try to make dots on the world map of people I meet this last transfer, and it's so cool!)

LOVE YOU. Don't forget to check out the little subvideos under the Prince of Peace video on mormon.org. They are very good :)

Love Sister Nielsen
