There is so much to tell! This week I got by cute little mission baby, Sister Havran, and we opened Bartlett, TN for ASL work.
Tuesday Sister Havran got here, we were at the mission home and went to Olive Garden with the Wakolos and the APs. Sister Havran is already a superb missionary and I am learning lots from her.
On Wednesday we got to our new apartment. It is SO NICE. It was recently refurbished, and there weren't missionaries living there before, so it is in great shape. AND we have our own bathrooms, I feel seriously blessed.
Also on Wednesday, we taught Mario, a deaf guy who has been going to church here all summer, and set a baptism date with him! It was pretty sweet.
We have done a lot of getting to know the member and the area, and doing some finding. This ward is on of the smallest geographical wards east of the Mississippi, there are members everywhere! So far, we met a really cool investigator Dorsey that used to live in Utah. Everyone here knows Mormons or has lived in Utah or something, it is really interesting. Sunday we introduced ourselves to our neighbor, and it turned out great. She is moving soon, and we offered to help, and she started tearing up and said that most people aren't like that. She told us she went to the LDS church a few times growing up, and she felt at home there. Then SHE told US she wants to learn more about the gospel. Holy cow! Miracles! Things are going to be great here.
Love y'all!
Sister Nielsen
