Merry Christmas or as we say Malipay Paskwa! We got a
wonderful gift in the mail this week! Our flight plans!!! We are looking forward to the flight. This
week went very well. Our lessons have never been better. We are teaching very
well with the spirit. This week we made huge progress with Francis. He is
basically our only investigator right now. He is almost ready to get baptized.
He stopped smoking and isn't going through withdrawls anymore. We are working
on finding his birth certificate right now so that he can get married. I hope
he finds it so that we can baptize him before we have to leave.
We all miss the
temple a lot. We put other plans in for it. Last week we had a testimony
meeting in our language so it was all Cebuano or Hiligaynon. It was really
cool. This morning as a district we talked about our Christmas traditions and
read the Christmas story.
Today we are having an extra fireside and are watching a
Christmas Carol. I don't know which one. Tomorrow we are having a devotional
with an apostle and then one with Greg Olson. We will have a musical then too.
That will be Christmas.
The song went very
well. Everyone loved it and President Brown, the MTC president, came out and
shook our hands and told us that he loved it and you could tell that he did
because it seemed like he didn't want to let us go.
I miss you all and wish I could be there to celebrate the
holidays.
I love you all,
Elder Nielsen
