Dear All,
I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas. Mine was a little different. Being in a new area in a new zone and what not. But I enjoyed it. We had a Christmas Conference on Christmas Eve, and I was surprised to see that ALL seven of my companions were there in the conference. It was a great gift to see all my companions gathered together (see picture)--especially Elder Dupre and Elder Mann, as they will be going home the end of January. It was the first time I had seen Elder Dupre since April, and it was so good to see him. :) It was a great conference.
Christmas Day, we had a Zone Activity. We ate breakfast together and we watched The Gordon B. Hinckley movie. Afterwards, we made our way to the hospital to sing to the people there. It was a good activity. We enjoyed it a lot. :)
The new ward is good. Just a lot of readjusting and learning my way around and what not. I've enjoyed it thus far. We're going to have a baptism on January 15, too. We're really excited for it. :) Her name is Valeska, and she's a nice lady. I'll keep you posted on her progress!
Speaking of baptisms....Elder Zorrilla and I were talking last week before I got transferred, and he told me something that really made me think. He said, "Elder, it really is a miracle for someone to be baptized in today's world." I then thought about how bad the world is these days, and I agreed with him. But the Lord's work is a work of miracles. And there ARE elect people all over the world who are just waiting to receive this glad message. :) I am so grateful for the opportunity that I have to be on the Lord's errand for another short 11 months. I am just going to do my best to find these elect people so that I can do my part to build Zion.
There's not much else to say. I love you all. I will have more to say next week. Until then, take care. And keep the commandments. The blessings will come. I know it!
Con Mucho Amor,
Elder Nelson IV
