3 weeks can you believe it...almost 4 I've been gone

Hola family and others,

Hey everyone so this week was pretty good for the most part. The food is pretty good except the fact that it seems like were always eating. So everyone in my district has gotten sick and felt like crap except for me... well I had a sore throat for like 2 days, but it was nothing like everybody else felt. Everyday we play fuitbol and I love it, it's so much fun we saw some deer running across the field and it made me think of home haha. So yesterday I got 3 shots and now my arms are dead, but later that night some guys in my zone did this thing called the dirty dozen which is we start at 12 push ups and then do 12 sit ups and go back down until we get to one. But last night we started at 15 and this was the first night I had ever done this and my arms felt like thy were gonna fall off but yeah it's a good workout!!!! Anyways packages are always nice.

The language has it's hard days and it's good days with learning it, but I know the Lord will provide a way because he called me to this mission and I will have the gift of tongues. So there is this place called the RC it stands for referral center where people go on Mormon .org and can chat with missionaries. So this guy got on and asked me why his baby died of brain cancer and why did that happen and this was a non member but it was so cool to tell him about eternal families and the atonement and that he will be able to see his son again and about the Book of Mormon and how I know theses things were true. This was all over chatting but it's amazing how you an feel the spirit. I felt so much joy and I sent him a link to get a free B.O.M and the "families are forever" DVD. Also on Tuesday night we had Richard G. Scott come and speak with us and the spirit was so strong, he talked about prayer and how it's a privilege to talk with our Father in heaven. And how important it is to listen to the spirit and follow the promptings and how sometimes we might not understand why but we should always listen. The spirit bore witness to me that he is truly an apostle of the lord and that he still walks and talks with the Savior as he did in the days of old and receives direct revelation. I KNOW this is true. I love you all so much and hope everything is going well. I love you all and miss you and I pray for all of you every night in Spanish. May God be with you.

LOVE ELDER NICHOLS
