November 17, 2014- 5th Transfer here in Herm Town

Welp...I'm stayin another one!   Me and my comp are staying together for a 3rd transfer.  Greenie bustin' my greenie!   Also, I got called to be a District Leader kinda scared about that!

  Sasha did get baptized on Saturday it was awesome!  She got a picture of the San Diego temple for a present, that's the temple they want to get sealed in.  We have an appointment with her tonight I'm excited. She got confirmed on Sunday and we got to stand in.  Chad came to her baptism, so I think that helped him not be so scared about baptism.

  Our bishop got a call from Salt Sake the guy that called, said his brother was dying and he lives in Hermiston.   So he asked us to go to give him a blessing.  I'm always nervous doing that.  That's my second one on my mission!

  We had Zone Meeting on Tuesday, that was pretty good.  It was on the D.o.C ofcourse but I always learn new things!  What stuck out to me this time is that I need to have more faith in the work and believe that miracles can happen in this area.  And also about repentance.  That it's just not going to your Bishop or Mission Pres., but really just turning to the Savior and goin' towards Him and walking with Him.

   Our whole zone is turning around, everyone is being more obedient and adopting this new mission culture, even though it was hard.  I was one of the last to accept it, but the whole zone has now and things are starting to happen in the zone pretty cool to see.

  Thanks for all you guys do for me! Love you all!

Love,

It's Here!

Stake Conference Week

What up Everyone?

 This week went pretty well. Things seem to be slowin down teaching wise, it might be because we are focused on Sasha. Her baptism is on Saturday and preparing for that. Stressin me out haha. Went on exchanges with Elder Wilcox had some fun and some good lessons. 

  Stake Conference was this week, it was broadcasted from salt lake. President Monson spoke, Elder Anderson, Elder Richards, and the primary president spoke. It was pretty good! They were all taking about letting our light shine. Making sure that we are sharing the gospel with everyone. And the Saturday night one was about hastening the work with family history. And also to be sharing the gospel with people around us. They called some youth up to share their experiences alot of it was directed to the youth. They invited everyone 12 and up to the adult session.

  Sounds like everyone is doing well at home. Cant believe Chaylee is going on a mission thats crazy! Guess I wont be seeing her for 3.5 years haha but thats ok.

Well thanks for all you guys do for me! I feel your prayers!

Love,

Elder Bubba Nelson

Hey!

We had Specialized training on Tuesday and the training was on how to implement the Book of Mormon more in our lessons, so that has been our focus alot this week as well as talking with everyone!  It has helped our lessons alot knowing what we want to share out of the B.of.M before we go in to the lesson.  People get more out of it and the Spirit is there more.  "If you want the Holy Spirit in your lessons 100% use the Book of Mormon, if you only want it partially there use a mormon message.  The Book of Mormon tells 100% percent truth to what the Spirit can testify"- President Ware.   Pretty bold statement haha, but its true. He has also been pushing us how to apply the Doctrine of Christ more in our life which is FAITH, REPENTANCE, BAPTISM, THE HOLY GHOST, and ENDURING TO THE END.  I never got what they ment by applying it to our work.  But I finally got it and it has changed my mission around these last couple of weeks!

Halloween was pretty good. Had to be in by 6 and then we just passed out candy.  Daylight savings started.  This crap is stupid, I hate it.   haha there is no point to it 1000 reason why AZ is #1.

>   Sasha is still doing good! She made her Baptism facebook official so it serious haha.  Chad is doing good too. He is praying about a new date for baptism where he thinks that he will be ready!

What up Family/Friends?
> This week was a good week.  Not alot of lessons taught, but the ones we did teach were awesome!  We met with Sasha (on date for Nov. 15th) 3 times this week!  I met her for the first time on Monday and when we got there she started saying she didn't know if she wanted to keep investigating.   She asked some of her in laws why they don't go to church anymore.  That kinda discouraged her, but the real problem she was scared of changing her life.  We just sat and listened to all of her concerns then addressed them.  Eternal families are very big to her thats what got her interested.  And we took all her concerns and asked how does that compare to being able to have an eternal family.  She said " well being worried about not being able to drink my coffee or alcohol seems pretty stupid compared to that!"  We just laughed and said yes it kinda does huh?  She knows whats right and re- committed to read and pray about the Book of Mormon.  And met with her again on Wednesday and once again she said she read before homework and it went easier for her, her day went better and she was just happier!  Blessings of the Gospel!
>   Chad is still doing good!  still as of now getting baptized saturday.  Hasn't gotten his answer yet we have a lesson with him tomorrow and if he hasn't gotten it we will probably hold off for a couple of weeks. But we talked about taking one more step of faith each day and he agreed to so I know he will get his answer sometime.

>   Sounds like everyone is doing good!  Except for Chase imma hit him!  He talks to this chick every night and hasn't emailed me in like a month?  Wooooow! Low blow haha.  Well hope it all works out for him!  I thought of something I want for Christmas.  Some Brown eccos and brown belt or some sikk sweaters ( have Kyle or Jacque approve:)  I guess he doesn't trust my taste :-(  Or just gift cards to Walmart.  I don't need all of them just one or the other.
