So I will stay here in Alta Floresta along with my whole district.
None of us are being transfered! So we will all probably be able to
see the new building open and continue with the weekly activities and
english classes we started! So we are all excited.

This week was pretty awesome. We are receiving A LOT of rain. They say
its normally like this around this time of year and this year it is
late. Sometimes we get trapped under something for a while and we just
have to wait for it to stop. Most of the time its so crazy that an
umbrella doesnt do anything. Its great!

We were able to meet a lot of new people this week and extend a few
baptism invitations. One of our investigators accepted and we are
excited to be able to help him prepare for this covenant with the
Lord. We are so happy and excited for him.

We also got to help one the church building! We were able to help out
and do a service project there to help the builders. It was pretty fun
and exhausting! But we enjoyed it! It was cool to help out and be a
part of the building!

Well everyone have a great week!

This week was great. We are beginning to have a lot of rain.
Apparently this year has been really dry here but now its starting to
rain like normal, its crazy. When it rains, it rains. Which makes it a
little more interesting to work. But its real nice to get some rain to
cool down the heat.

Now starts the last week of the transfer so we are setting goals to
make it the best for the next transfer. We are pretty excited. It
should be good, this week. We had a good turn out in the church
yesterday. We were able to get the help of the members building the
church building, with their car. We were able to pick up some of the
members in our area and also some investigators. Our area is a little
complicated and a lot of people dont have cars so if they want to get
to chuch they have to walk the minimum one hour. But we were able to
help them this week. The men building the church said it will be
finished the 20th. So we are excited. Well i hope that i can be here
to see.

Well everyone have a great week. Until the next,

-Elder Nelson

We celebrated new years watching the fireworks that a lot of people
launched off. Here they use their fireworks on new years. It was
pretty cool to see and a good experience.

This week we had the cool experience to have fast and testimony
meeting. And with a lot of member traveling, it was a small turn out.
But it was so great for the people that went. There was so many people
that shared powerful testimonies. It truly is something when you just
share a little testimony for others to here, it will strengthen
someone.

We now have a normal week where people should start returning to the
city and we can start working serious again. It should be good. Only
two weeks left in this transfer and we will make them count. I hope
everyone has a great week and new year!
