It Finally Happened!

January 10, 2011
 
Well, it finally happened. I got transferred. Thank you mom I got the box of gloves, ear warmers, etc. I have even more news! An investigator I taught in my last area would like me to baptise her in this next week so keep your fingers crossed that I will be able to make it. Because I have yet to recieve a ride. But I still believe that the Lord will provide if it be His will that I should go. I am so excited because this will be my first baptism on my mission.
 
Thank you for all of the letters tht you all have sent me it makes me appreciate my life, friends, and family even more every single week thank you for your kindness!!!!
 
Sorry, but I have to keep it short today, Take care!
 
Love, Elder Nessen

Happy New Year

 December 30, 2010

Well, things were a little bit bumpy this past transfer, but as it draws to a close a new one seems to be opening. Our Ward Mission Leader (kind of like our boss/advisor/spokesperson) seems to have kinked the workings of the Ward quite a bit and due to personal problems, will be released very soon. It was long awaited for this Ward but all of us agree it's for the better and it should relieve him of some stress and cope with some of life's circumstances.

The pantry and cupboards are now full again. Thanks to the Ward and my wonderful efforts and concern from my mom to make sure I stay healthy.  =D   (Love you's!!!!) We have now built everything back up to the way it used to be when I first arrived here in the Tampa Mission. It only took 4 months! hee hee hee. It was a wonderful Christmas and we were treated with much love and compassion from all of the Ward members. It really helped in being away from family and friends this year.

On a higher note we now have two baptismal dates set and if all goes well (which it should) we will have two new baptisms in the Ward! We love all of the thoughts and care we get from our friends and family, we thank you so much for your efforts to make this mission so wonderful for us!


THANK YOU ALL!!!

MISSION and LIFE ADVICE: Don't gossip and don't say anything negative about somebody to another person. What goes around comes around and it often leads to further trials and flak along the way.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Jamie Beckwith, Zach-Giffin-Pope, Mallory Stofleth, Josh Kingcade, and Kevin Seneca (relay that to him for me will ya Houston? Thanks.)

Happy Birthday to you all and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
