Another week

So another week has gone by in the mission of mine and time flys by. It´s crazy how it truly does. So since promising my AP´s with the 10 contacts I have done about 90 contacts this past week all by myself and it has been really good for me. I was never entirely scared but in a sense I kinda was at the same time. But now I'm not.
We have these pass along cards that we use and people call this number that they can get the Together Forever video, it's pretty cool. There have been a couple of contacts that I did that we set up appointments with them, so I was pretty stoked about that. Also last night I taught my first lesson in the street while my comp was on the other side of the road contacting, and watching me do it alone. It was kinda scary but I did it and I was going to commit her to baptism but I forgot, oh well. It´s kinda funny though when you walk up to people and you ask them if you can say hi, and they keep walking and just ignore you. I love it, it makes me feel great. :-) Also when people say that they have enough and they don't need anymore because they have already been saved. My comp and I were walking to an appt. the other day and I stopped to contact this lady with the Together Forever card, and she said I have all I need, I accepted Jesus as my Savior for 40 years now, and I don't need anymore. Then I kinda went off on her with and said this is the only way you can live with your family forever and I kinda bore my testimony about it. She kinda got mad a little, and in the scriptures it talks about with the sons of Mosiah how people got angry when they heard the truth. It honestly hurts me when people are like that because I just feel bad for them. Also this week we had 3 family home evenings with people and my comp made sugar cookies 3 times this week. I was kinda sick of them by the 3rd time. But then on friday we had another family home evening with our recent convert. Her mom made us fresh pan aka bread, it was so good.

We went and looked at a new house to move into because we were getting kicked out of our last one because 3 years worth of missionaries lived there and it needs some repairs. The new house we looked at is way nice and we will find out today if we can move into it or not.

Also we had a really fun activity on Friday with the youth. What happend was my comp and I bought flour and then our branch presidents daughter bought us some panty hose and we cut the panty hose and filled them with flour and tied them up to make a imitation snowball, it was so much fun. At first we played dodgeball, but then it just turned into a all out war. With enough power these things kinda hurt if you throw them well enough. I was running and my comp was a good distance from me, he came a little closer and I started running and I jumped in the air and well the inevitable happened, I got nailed right in the SWEET SPOT, and then I just dropped like a bird from the sky. It hurt so bad I started yelling and then like 6 girls that were there all came over and started throwing them at my back, and I was yelling "stop" but they didnt understasnd cuz I was yelling in english. They all thought I got hit in the stomach at first. Then I told my comp if I cant have kids I am killing him haha. It was fun for the most part, then we went back and had cookies, chips, and soda. I have some pics of after so I will try and send them. It´s crazy how flour gets everywhere and I mean everywhere. We got permission to change into to regular clothing so just incase anyone was worried, we weren't getting our nice clothes messy.

Earlier that day, this guy who makes missionaries lunch in the next city over, came to our house and made us a whole chicken and french fries, and wow it was amazing. I'm not gonna lie, it was so good. Then he made some flan and by the way flan is pretty good, but the only bad part is that we ate the flan at like 1030 on sat night and my comp and I had to both get up and to to the bathroom at the same time in the middle of he night, it was really funny.

So we made some real progress this week with some investigators it was great. The family that I was talking about last week the we went over there again and they gave us this bean soup thing, it was way good and then eventually talked about the gospel. We left them with the commitment to pray and ask God if the things were true that we had taught them, but they said they didn't. So we had to talk about that and how you receive an answer, and the dad is very stubborn and by the end of the night he said he will ask, but he wont truly ask. His wife (not really his wife because they are not married) she said she is afraid to ask, but she will and their daughter is Evangelical and she was asking lots of questions, but she said she would ask. She also asked us when we meet for church so we told her and gave her the website for mormon.org. We saw her last night and she said she asked and has not received an answer, and went to the web site to see what she needed to do to get an answer I guess. It was great I really hope they can feel the truth of it.

Also the next person we made a huge jump with was this lady named Kris and Cessar we have been teaching. They have a child and they are not married either. When we first got there she told us she had a bad dream about how God was laughing like the devil at her and she was really creeped out by it and so we were talking about it and she didn't jump to any conclusions, so that was good. She asked us if we bless homes or stuff like that and we said yes, and also she asked us for a blessing of comfort. Because she asked her Evanglical friend to give her one, but he said no because she was sinning living with this guy Cessar and breaking commandments. So we did and by the end of the blessing she was crying with joy and was telling us nobody wants them to be together and they have tried so hard to make their relationship work. But we asked to to come to church and they did. I was SO HAPPY it was great. She really enjoyed it. The branch presidents son who is 6 years old, was running around on the stage and during the end while he was up their talking about who knows what haha. I was a little embarrassed but oh well she really enjoyed the meeting. I am really excited but kinda scared for when we teach the 10 commandments and the law of Chasity so if people could pray for them that would be great.
Well I love you all and pray for all of you.

Love Elder Nichols
