Week 105: September 10, 2012

Short Last Letter

I had the best last week any missionary could ask for, and today I will have an awesome P-day. Tomorrow night Elder Romney and I will drive to East London and stay the night with a companionship there, Wednesday morning Elder Giles and I will fly to Cape Town and have our Final Interviews with President Wood. We will then spend the night at the mission home, all of Thursday we will have the opportunity of doing whatever we like in Cape Town before our flight to London on Thursday night. I am sure most Elders will want to get some curios and other little African Trinkets, I think I might as well ha.

But I want to thank you all for all the support that you have given me, I love you all and I can't wait to finally see you!

2 John 1:12, I was thinking of just writing this reference down and calling it good but Rapport rather than Report.

Love you,
Elder Nielsen

Week 104: September 3, 2012

Thank you all for writing.

Brother Hamilton thank you for your sound advice, I will keep those thoughts in mind.

Also Sister Moore thank you for your words.

This week was awesome. Elder Romney and I had a powerful Zone Training with all of the Zone on Tuesday and then we had an incredible Zone Conference with Elder and Sister Cook and President and Sister Wood. After the Zone Conference I was asked to give my final in-field testimony and then everyone sang to me the SACTM song. It was really cool because for the past 16 transfers I was the one singing to departing missionaries, and then it was my turn.

I am still going strong, bringing as many souls to Christ before I am no longer a full-time missionary. It is something I am really going to miss. I don't know how I feel about going home, I look forward to it but at the same time I don't want to leave this behind yet.

This week I will work with a sense of urgency and do all I possibly can.

Love you all,

Elder Nielsen
