Elder Nixon in Rosario, Argentina: May 2019

May 13, 2019

Well this was a great week. And that´s all the time I have so just know I love you all lots. I might not write much, but at least I´m consistent ;)

This week in church an RM in our ward talked about how happy he was to have gone back to the temple after his mission and I couldn´t help but think how nice it will be to go back after 2 years without being able to visit. I just wanted you all to appreciate being able to visit the temple so much and do everything you can to go as much as you can!

In other news this week was a little slower. Not as many people let us in and I got to practice my contacting even more!!! I´m a pro by now, trust me. Maybe the government will hire me in secret services cuz I can figure out where someone lives, how many people are in their family, when they are usually home and not home, and their religious background in like 2 minutes.

I had zone conference this week too. I dunno if anyone really cares to know that but I guess it makes it look like I put more effort into this email than I really am.

I love you all lots!!

Week...no idea

It rained lots this week. Also, I ran out of contact solution and had to wear my glasses and they were always getting wet so I guess you could say my trials have been great. ;)

We found the greatest woman this week, Paola. She´s kinda like a beam of sunshine in the middle of a giant ghetto. If it weren’t for her, we´d never go back ;)

Other than that I’m doing really well with Elder Cannon too. We spend the day making jokes and laughing so I´m thankful for his friendship.

We had a ward activity this week and were able to actually get the members to come so that was a huge success! Now we just need to figure out how to get the investigators to come..... ;)

Love you all lots

La Pascoa

This Easter we celebrated by cooking "lamb" We tricked the other elders in our ward into thinking that we had bought a sacrificial lamb to observe the Passover, but it was really just cow. Don’t tell them that though cuz they still don’t know :)

I just wanna bear my testimony to you all this week. I know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and I know that He is my Savior. I know that His Gospel is the only way to become pure and be able to become as He is. I know that He resurrected and that He will one day raise me up too. Above all, I know that He has the power to heal us. And I know that repentance and covenants are essential to be able to receive an eternal family.

I love you all lots,

Elder Nixon

Well today I got transferred from Villa Constitucion to Castelli in the zone Pergamino. I’m very excited to get to know the area and carry the Lords work forward here. I had lunch with the elders here today and know that I’ll be able to make some great friends here!

It was hard saying goodbye. The best part though was I got to say goodbye by baptizing one of my favorite persons in all my mission. It was actually the man that my uncle taught twenty years ago.... He had a long and interesting conversion but in the end he came through for my very last day in the area!

God guides us. I know that He controls every change and every detail of our lives. The things he does to us today and to prepare us for our trials tomorrow. And even more than that, they are to prepare us for our triumph tomorrow as well :)

I love you all lots.
