Elder Nelsons coming ....

Wow what a great week! I loved this week so much and was by far the best week of my mission!!! Just like last week... hahaha, Nah but for real this week was crazy! We are almost done with interviews with President and we have been traveling the mission with him! It was nice to go to Twin Falls and Burley with him! We have bee to all the district meetings in the mission so far Excluding Oregon's one which happen tomorrow! We have picked up some new investigators too! We were at church yesterday at a new singles ward we cover(We cover 3 Singles wards now) and we had to stop by a different ward to drop off a Baptismal record... as we walked down to the Bishops office 2 different people stoped us and said "there are a few Non-members here toady! We were so stoked and we met both of them! We taught on yesterday and the other on we will teach in about a half hour! We cant wait! We have been so blessed with so much work and we know its cause God knows our situation. We don't get to find and tract nearly as much as we want to but he just keeps blessing us with people to teach that fall right into our hands! Our teaching pool has increased and we are filling every free hour with teaching in stead of finding! We were able to teach 5 lessons yesterday and we look forward to the 3 we have today! It seems like the only day we have even a second of free time is our P-day so we set up appointments for those times! We have decided what i believed my whole mission, That P-days are a waste of time and so we plan to teach all we can after we do our necessities! I love life sooo much! Oh so i could not e mail last week cause i did not think i could keep my mouth shut about what i knew! We were told a while ago about this but we were to keep it confidential till Pres. Cannon made it public! Yesterday we made it public so i can now tell you all too! On sat. the 22 of Jan. we will be honored to be meeting with Russel M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and he will be bringing with him Elder Gonzalaz of the presidency of the Seventy and Bishop McMullen of the Presiding Bishop Rick!... WOW!!! We are so excited and i can hardly keep my head from exploding! I get to sit on the same stand as a Prophet of God!!! A special Whiteness of Jesus Christ! Words cant explain how blessed i feel and we are going to be blessed to have a 3 hour Revelatory Experience with them! We have a lot of logistics to still figure out but We will be transporting the whole mission down to Twin Falls! We have Pres. Kotter of the mission Presidency getting Greyhound Buses to take the Large bunch of Boise and Oregon Missionaries and we might have to just do a sack lunch kind of a deal! We have also arranged a Mission picture with Elder Nelson in front of the Twin Falls Temple! We are so stoked! This will be a once in a lifetime Experience and i will come there totally spiritually ready to be taught from Amazing faithful men of God! This week was the best week ever for many many more reasons and many many more miracles have taken place but i have not even room enough on this e mail to write it all! I love this mission experience and i will treasure it forever! I love you all! Take care and have a great week!
