District Conference

We have a baptism on Saturday!!! We are excited about that. She is really good and her son is on a mission so President was more then ready to let us baptize her.
We had a very good week despite the little time that we had to work. We had the most amount of lessons in our area since I have been here. It was amazing! We got some new investigators that look pretty good and now we are moving forward. We just need to start setting up dates so that they can be baptized.
James is doing great! He came to the district conference and loved it, since he is Tagaloc anyway. Elder Ardurro was really good! He was really funny but I could only understand about half because he talked so fast and it was Tagaloc!!! We is still good for Feb 22 for James. Junjun is doing great as well. He is reading and having a great experience in the Book of Mormon. He still needs to talk to his mother if he can be baptized. The plan is March 1. Cleofe was going to come to church but we hear that her mom doesn't want her to be going to church. We will have to talk to her to see if we can continue. We hope we can because she is really great. We got some new investigators. Mary Joy went to work in Escalante so we can't teach her but we are now teaching her sisters. They are really good. They don't hide from us and they love for us to teach. The youngest is 8 and she even read our assignment!!! We are really happy for her!
We went on exchanges this week with the elders in Old Escalante. I was with Elder Sio which is from Herriman! He is Samoan but lived in Herriman before the mission. He is really great. We went and worked in Old Escalante and had a great experience. I learned a lot about how to better use the pamphlets in lessons and how to get investigators to read. It was really useful and will really help our area.
I think that is about it for the week. It was really good but it flew by. We are heading to Bacolod later so that we can go to a meeting to prepare for a training on Wednesday that we have to give. By the way, the trainings are going very well. We just have to teach the missionaries and then we go back to normal.
Love you,

Elder Nielsen
