Lots of Rain

This was a pretty good week for us but we had our hardships. The weather was good all week, sunny and hot, until Sunday when it decided to rain harder then any other storm besides Yolanda that I have ever experienced. It made for a hard Sunday trying to get investigators at church.

On the good side, we had our baptism!!! I sent you some pictures of the two. I will tell you when I get home who is who. It was a cool experience having them baptized. It made for a good day. They are so good and are pretty funny.

Danna is doing great. Sorry I didn't write about her because we have been going on a lot of splits since lots of missionaries have been at our house. Mostly Elder Paaño has been going to them. She is really good. We talked to the father and he is fine with her being baptized but the mother wants them to get baptized at the same time. That might take a while because the mother wants all of them to go to church together but brother is shy to go to church since it has been so long since he has been to church. We are working on that right now to see if we can change that. Rica didn't come to church this Sunday because she thought she was going to a graduation but that didn't happen. We moved her to April 26 to be baptized. We are still excited for her. We started teaching an 11 year old named Chenna. She is really good and had been to church before. She is pretty smart and she loves the gospel. She has committed to be baptized but we haven't given her a date yet because we haven't talked to her parents yet. She seems like a great potential. She came to church on Sunday with some of the members. Bishop's house help, Carmela, is coming a long pretty well. She comes to church every Sunday. She just believes that all churches are true. We have taught her some of the lessons but haven't really taught her much. We got her to come to gospel principle class this Sunday. We hope to give her a date for baptism this week. It is a little hard to teach her because she is Tagalog so Elder Paaño teaches her in Tagalog and I teach in English. She understands English for the most part. It is quite interesting. The cool part is even though I don't know Tagalog that well, I understand everything that is going on. It is definitely the gift of interpretation of tongues.

We did a little on trying to find those people again this week but we didn't work too much on it. We have been focusing on our investigators trying to help them to accept the gospel. We might work more on it this week.

Lots of good things are going on right now in the area. We hope it continues.

Love you,

Elder Nielsen
