McKay Meets Todd Jones

McKay was looking for some leadership hours for The Congressional Medal hours. A man in our ward is friends with Georgia State House Rep Todd Jones and asked him McKay couldn't meet with him and ask him questions. We decided to stay in a hotel the night before the appointment. We also brought Maggie (probably will never happen again). Josh got this bag to carry her in. 

It was so cute to see her in the bag. 

 

We stayed in the Westin Hotel. There was an incredible view.

Todd Jones was so kind to answer all of McKay's questions and talk with him about politics. 

McKay was really impressed and had a great experience with him.

It was such a good experience!

 What is happening fam and friends? This week has been super awesome. I'm absolutely loving this transfer that I have had with Elder Miner, he's am absolute legend.

Unfortunately, I don't have too much time, but I'll share a little. This week we had Zone Conference, which was super awesome. We were able to give a fire presentation about helping other people grow their faith by accomplishing compromisos and then we got to hear from our mission president.

We also have two people who have a baptismal date, Alvaro and Cristobal. So be praying for them, they need some miracles going their way to help them out with life. When we all pray together miracles happen. 

Besides that, I had intercambios with Elder Aedo whose a goat that's working until the end. He's about to end the mission, but is an inspiration to me and the zone. Then with Elder Torres, whose younger on the mission with cualquier energy to work hard so that was also awesome to be with them this week.

My quick spiritual thought is just that, a random thought I had that is spiritual. I always love thinking about how different each of our lives are compared to the other and one thing that I have been able to see is that it doesn't matter your circumstances or what's happening in your life, you can always be happy if you choose to be with God.

Love you all and hope your working hard on your testimonies in christ!

It was a good week.

City

We went to the city for conference and had an awesome p day. During the conference some of my good friends gave their final testimony and I'm really going to miss them. Seeing their testimonies strengthen and grow has been so cool. They're all studs.

Church

This Sunday we had a ton of our friends investigating show up! A whole family came! I was so happy. The Lord is involved in each one of their lives and is blessing them. 

This week

We have an exchange this week with Tikantiki and we're stoked. We'll also probably get transfer news. 

Some thoughts

My mission has been full of ups and downs. Highs and lows. I definietely am not a perfect missionary and make a good amount of mistakes daily. Because of that, I have learned to use the power that Christ offers us. The ability to get on my knees and repent has offered me so much relief, comfort, and hope. From the small mistakes to the big mistakes, Jesus is always there and willing. I'm so grateful to come to know Him better during these experiences and to more fully know His love for me and for all God's children.

Love y'all

Elder Nelson (Lincoln)
