Sis. Abrasado is Baptized!

First off. I received your package! It got her safely, there was a little mix up, but your prayers have been answered. Thanks for the retainer! It was a little tight when I wore the first few times, meaning my teeth had moved a little, so it is great to have that. And thanks for the jerky! That's the first real beef I have had in a long time. Beef is really expensive here. Only Pork and chicken for me. I also received a package from the YW in our ward! I'll send you a picture of it next week. But it was really nice. Will you tell sister Simons I received the package and I will write a thank you letter to her and the girls next week. 

We had another good week this week. Sister Abrasado was baptized last Saturday. The baptismal service was a nice experience and went really well. Sister Abrasado had many of her friends and fellow shippers at the service, supporting her. Then yesterday she was confirmed and received the Holy Ghost. We are very confident that she will continue to progress in the church. She has a very strong testimony and desire to be an example for her kids. Our main concern now is trying to get our other investigators to progress. We have found a lot of new investigator families, who show a lot of potential for progression, but they just aren't attending church. We did a lot of finding last week, trying to find that family or person who is ready for our message and ready to make these commitments in their life. 

We are continuing to have a lot of success with our Less Active members in our ward. The last few weeks, we have been finding lots of less actives who are ready to come back to church. On Saturday night, we taught a less active for the first time, then the next day she went to church. It just goes to show, there are less actives all over who are ready to start coming back to church. They just need a little push to help them get back on the right track. 

On Wednesday, I had the opportunity to go on splits with Elder Tripole ( he is one month younger than me and my old kabahay in Malolos) while Elder Alejandro and Elder Mabala went and had their x-rays done. It was a lot of fun!  It was a great opportunity to work with him, and learn from him. He is a great missionary and has a strong desire to serve. He is great at "OYMing", he is very friendly and warm so we had a lot of success in finding. He is overall a solid missionary and teacher.

I will send Pictures next week of the Baptism. 

Sorry I am running a little low on time, so have a wonderful week and chose the right! And President Nelson comes this Friday to visit our mission. I am really excited! Thanks for everything. 

Pagmamahal,

Elder Nielsen
