This week was super good. I had my first baptism this Saturday. We had two awesome investigators a mother and her daughter and we invited them to be baptized and they said yes. It was the point when I realized what it is like to be a missionary. We are always in the streets talking, contacting, walking, having lessons but now we have baptisms too and its so cool. We felt the spirit super strong during the baptism. I just felt super happy after the two we baptized. The cool part was that Sunday we confirmed them but we also had two investigators at church so we were able to show them what their goals will be. Hopefully Ill be able to attend the temple in a year when they go through for their endowments.

So as you guys have heard the Pope is coming to my mission. If you guys watch the news you might be able to see the mission office and you´ll see him come through our zone. It´s really funny because every thing is super clean and well painted. We have a lot of police and government people in our area. They put up fences in random areas and every company has a billboard. If you see the REAL HOTEL its Orange and Grey, That´s right in front of the mission offices and where we stayed our first night. The weird Circle Ball place is were our zone leaders work. I think we´ll still be working, I mean we had a baptism the weekend before so it´s not too big but the majority of our zone has 2 days in House arrest. It´s funny but sad when we talk with Menos Activos and they say ¨yeah we have tickets to see the pope.¨ and we´re like no don´t go! Come back to the church.

That´s about it. We´re doing really good and our zone has some good numbers. Thank you for all the support you´ve given us. Watch my mission this Wednesday.

Love

Elder Nelson
