Hey Y'all!!!

Things are goin awesome here in Little Rock!!!  I guess I will tell you about our week.  On Tuesday we went on an exchange with the missionaries down in Hot Springs, Elders Keller and Anderson.  We went down to their district meeting and then went out to work, we had gone down to do a baptismal interview for a kid named Joshua that they had been teaching.  I was able to do the interview and it was one of the most spiritual experiences of my life, this kid was awesome and so prepared.  Then Elder Anderson and I went to teach one of their investigators named Doc, who they were struggling to get baptized, he had some concerns that he needed to overcome, mostly with understanding.  Well, we had an awesome lesson with him and the spirit was really strong so I asked him if he wanted to be baptized that Friday, and he said yes, so we got the interview done that day as well.  Both of them were baptized and confirmed on Friday and apparently it was an amazing baptism.

We had a great week ourselves, we were able to set 3 baptismal dates with some pretty cool people.  This next week is going to be crazy.  I will share our "itinerary" with you.  Tomorrow morning we are getting up and driving 2 hours to Fordyce Arkansas to a district meeting, then we will drive to Monticello AR, to go on exchanges with the Elders there, Wednesday morning we will get up and drive back to Little Rock and get to work for the rest of the day, that night we will drive up to Conway Arkansas, then we will wake up early the next morning and go with the Conway Zone leaders to drive up to Memphis for what is called Zone leader council, where all the Zone leaders get together with the President and do some training and discuss the mission, then we will drive back here that night.  It is going to be crazy, we don't get much sleep as Zone leaders  haha  not much at all.  It has been a lot of fun though.

Glad to hear all is well back home.  I love you guys!!!

Love, Elder Nelson
