Elder Jacob Nelson

Season 2, Episode 19, (5 comps, 5 months, 2 apartments, 1 area👍)

Hello everyone!! Yes I know last email i said I would do better about sending emails and then I ghosted you for 2 weeks😬. These weeks were pretty awesome and crazy. Sorry for ghosting you all but lets get into it.

🏠:So we moved apartments to a bigger apartment which is soooo much better especially cause there are 3 of us. We are also living with another set of Elders so thats fun!! Sad that sister Zinie isn't our neighbor anymore but its ok we will still visit.

🌊: This last weekend we had the opportunity to have 3 baptisms which was pretty awesom!! Kash and his sister Wylee got baptized on Saturday! It was the most people I have ever seen at a baptism. Half of the gym was full of people it was crazy!! It was so awesome to see how much support they had!!! Caleb was baptized the next day on Sunday. He has been awesome to teach. He is so exited to learn and grow and most importantly he is so exited to get sealed as a family!! The spirit was so strong at both of the baptisms!!!

Highlights🌟:

- New Apartment!!!

- Had a nerf battle🔫

- Ate a whole lemon🍋🤨

- Gave a talk🎤

Word on the street🛣:

Harmony: She is still working towards receiving a date but she is always so exited to learn and wakes up early to make sure shes ready for church!!!

Family of 7(25th): They are pretty awesome!! They all want to be baptized and are exited to learn. Their parents are hard to catch but they are also willing to learn!!

Isaac: He is an OAY and he is hilarious!! He loves to play roblox and him and his dad are so funny when they talk to each other🤣. He wants to be baptized and loves learning. He just gets distracted easily lol.

Spiritual thought🌌:

Alma 33:20-23

"20 But few understood the meaning of those things, and this because of the hardness of their hearts. But there were many who were so hardened that they would not look, therefore they perished. Now the reason they would not look is because they did not believe that it would heal them.

21 O my brethren, if ye could be healed by merely casting about your eyes that ye might be healed, would ye not behold quickly, or would ye rather harden your hearts in unbelief, and be slothful, that ye would not cast about your eyes, that ye might perish?

22 If so, wo shall come upon you; but if not so, then cast about your eyes and begin to believe in the Son of God, that he will come to redeem his people, and that he shall suffer and die to atone for their sins; and that he shall rise again from the dead, which shall bring to pass the resurrection, that all men shall stand before him, to be judged at the last and judgment day, according to their works."

Sorry thats a lot of verses but I read them this week and they really stuck with me throughout the week. If we continue to cast our eyes towards Jesus and really see him and follow him he can heal us!!

Thanks for reading!! Love you all!! Have a great week!!
