13 months! - Nicks letter from Omaha

What's up everyone! Hope all yall had a super great week! This was pretty slow out in the great state of Nebraska but it's chill! 


Monday: district p day- we did a fun little white elephant thrift store activity. Basically all of us went to the thrift store, picked a name out of a hat and then bought something for that person. I got elder Val and he's heading down to equador next week so I bought him a little tractor to remember the midwest. Rest of p day was us playing tip in and gator ball 

Tuesday: had district council and then we had to speed back to our area so that makenzy this girl who is getting baptized could have her interview. She passed!!! We are so excited for her to get baptized next Saturday! 

Wednesday: we did service for our fun kerry. Mostly just pulling weeds and burning wood for him. Then we went and talked to this lady Daniella. She yelled at us for an hour about how the book of mormon isn't true because the picture of Jesus in the front of the book doesn't match what the book of  revelation says what Jesus looked like. People be taking the Bible way to literally out here. 

Thursday: we taught makenzy about the temple. We showed her a video about the temple and after she said that it was the most peaceful video she has ever seen! Makenzy is freaking elect! 

Friday: we taught the jacksons. They are a big family we are teaching that wants to be baptized. Unfortunately the parents aren't married so they can't get baptized until they have there wedding but they told us that we could get the kids baptized and they would just wait till after. Gary is the dad and he is so chill. 

Saturday: we taught our guy Daniel he also wants to be baptized but he's been drinking a lil too much. He was super sick so we gave him and his wife a blessing. We taught the jacksons again that night about temples and eternal families. Then we gave Gary a blessing because he was sick too. 

Sunday: had church. Makenzy and the jacksons both showed up! After church was rough. Just straight walking around and getting rejected really good character building day haha. Then we talked to this homie named Caleb who went off on some crazy rant about dark Templar and the crusades. He called us the "lavender saints" so that was weird. Ended the night on a good note though talked to Dustin and he told us he hasn't had a drop of alcohol since we started talking to him so that was nice to hear. 

I've been really trying to be more christlike in my missionary work recently. Anytime someone is mean I always try to remember that they are a child of God. I hit 13 months this week and time is flying. I swear I just hit a year like last week but God's so good and is so loving. Also college football started and I miss It so much. Send me some football scores if the spirit tells ya bahaha. Love yall
