Dear Family and Friends,
How are you all doing? How is the beach? The beach here is pretty absent of missionaries ;) but that is okay! Oh my goodness... LIFE IS CRAZY AWESOME!!!!!
We have an amazing Norwegian family that we are teaching and the parents are being baptized in 10 days! Ahhhh!!!! So exciting! There is a lot to go over and do but we are loving every step! What a blessing these people are. Søster Gates and I love this family so much. Such good people with SO much love to give! AND...they are so easy to love! We visited with them a couple days ago and their little 9 year old asked, “How can God answer all of our prayers and hear us all pray at the same time?!” We were not really sure what to tell her except that God can do anything! Then yesterday she raised her hand in the middle of our lesson and said, "I got an answer! Just like the sun is so big in the sky and we can all look at it, the sun rays can hit us all at the same time! That’s probably how God is too! Right?!" We were all just blown away! She is such a smart little girl! With beautiful insights! I love this family!!!
Søster Gates and I have been running around teaching many lessons and doing our best to not fall asleep during studies! Hahah...we are so tired at the end of every day but it is SO worth it! I love being a missionary! It is such a blessing! I am so grateful to meet so many wonderful people and to see their lives begin to change and even mine! I love this church and I know the Lord knows and loves us! :)
Gud vær med deg til vi sees igjen,
-Søster Neilson
