Dear Mom,
Well i am staying put another 6 weeks. which i am not too upset about. i really do love this area, its just different. its really going to be sad because the YSA ward is dissolving so i dont know what i am going to do with all of our time now. i think it will all work out. one of the sisters is getting transferred too so we will see how we can make it happen.
this week was really busy, which is good, but now i am so tired. the past 3 days i couldnt wake up, #MissionaryProbs. we have been working with the girl we took to the temple this week a lot, and she is progressing really well. we met with her on Tuesday outside on campus. we had a really good lesson about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. she was really receptive and really liked it. as we were finishing up we ran into a Recent Convert who is now really less active. so he starts talking to us and her. we had another appointment so we say our goodbyes and go off.
this weekend we had a institute summer party at a member’s house. they had a pool, awesome food, the whole shi-bang. let me tell you something, being in pants, and a shirt and tie isn’t the best for a swim party. no worries, i rolled my pants and sleeves up to get some sun. yeah it was quite the site. the biggest thing was that the girl that i have been talking about came to that as well. she loved it. everyone had so much fun. after getting my tan on we went and played soccer with a Less Active for another hour after that. needless to say, i may have gotten too much sun. i needed it though, i was so white i was like a ghost.
this Sunday was stake conference. it was really good. i dont know if this happened at home, but President Pingree spoke. really i cant say enough good things about those two. they are such an important part of my life now. i know the new Mission President will do just great. Guess who came to conference as well??? your right our #1 investigator. talk about commitment. she loved it. she had friends that she made at the party on Saturday and talked to them for an hour afterward. she got invited to institute graduation and the CES Devo up in college station with the YSA Branch. she is really so awesome! she called us after church asking how many pamphlets we have and if we could meet before she goes to college station. we of course jump on that and say yes! we met her at the church and she was a little nervous. she tell us that she wants to be baptized! how exciting is that. she really is great. she then tells us that she when she decided to be baptized. Turns out that the RC that talked to her after the lesson on Tuesday followed her out to her car and started telling her that what we are teaching her is wrong and that he wants to tell us the "truth" but he doesn’t want to hurt our friendship. so as he is telling her all of this she told us that that is when she knew what we have been saying is true and now she wants to get baptized! she needs to still tell her family, which will be pretty hard for her so prayer will help that.
Man you guys are awesome!! every sounds like everyone is doing awesome! Sterl and Ariel are awesome home owners. Sterl, dont listen to lace. she is just jealous of you beard. congrats on Institute Graduation this week! Lace and Chan, yall are awesome! i am glad JP is growing up so much! she will probably be able to beat me up when i get home. Dad, i want to go to the black so bad when i get back!!! we have to go. i am glad to hear Aunt Cheryl is doing better! she is so great.
Man, so this week we got invited to Fiesta for a Less active member in the Spanish program. most awkward experience of my life. no one spoke English except for us and an 11 year old. needless to say we became good friends. Elder Rios was loving it saying "it reminds me of home." there was so many people at the little trailer. the speaker was a big Ipod!!! yeah it was quite intense. we were offered a few beers and such... lets just say. God knew what he was doing when he put me in the English Program...
And Every one Go Get your Cinco De Mango! at Eegees!!! if yall ever find a way to get some of that to me i will be your friend forever!
i love you all, be safe, and keep reading those scriptures!!!
Elder Nymeyer
