We Finally Got Pictures!!

Yes, Elder Nelson finally sent us pictures. He actually sent his picture disk so we got LOTS of pictures. So I have created a page for him... elderabnelson.blogspot.com Right now it is just pictures, not much description. But it is fun to be able to see him and his companion and his district and where they are. There are pictures of the rain and water they got with Tropical Storm Fay and there are Pictures of the people they have taught and baptized. And then there are pictures of some of the fun things they have been doing. This past Pday they went to Daytona and went go carting... Marley says he is serving on a vacation... they have had a bit of fun... golfing, bowling, going to the beach (but not getting in the water). Anyway, take a peek and see what he has been up to. He always tells us to tell everyone hello... so .... Elder Nelson says Hello!!!

09/08/08 Letter From Elder Nelson

thank you family for the emails i have been getting. they are great. also thanks for the byu scores i have been worried. lol

but also thanks for letting me know about home its i good to hear about whats going on in the inside. so this week was good we were on bikes all week and it was hot hot hot. but it was good. i got to go on exchanges with elder kennett the kid who i went to high school with. so that was pretty cool we talked alot about home and things like that.

so i was wondering if you still are going to send me pics of like all the school dances i have been to. i dont really know what but i just want some pics and also send me some dance co pics i want to show they elders that i really was on dance ha ha. but the weather is good. i guess there is a catagory 4 hurrican headed for us. so thats pretty cool but i dont really know who really knows were it is going. so ya.

well a member brought a friend to church last week she is a 26 year old lady and she has a son and we are teaching her now so its cool she really wants to know more and we are close to challenging her to baptism. so ya.

but all is well out hear sorry i dont have much to say this time around but i love you all and i dont have grandma nelsons adress or i would wright her. so yes yes i love you all and please stay out of trouble and remember to always fallow the straight and narrow.

Love Elder Nelson

Letter to Marley....

one thing you need to realize is that you can put your self in those situations were tempation is high. like you cant tell someone to quit smoking but have them work at a tobacco plant. so really stay away from the evils of the world because they can only bring you down. one thing im now realizing more and more each day is what made grandpa such a great person. and its because all he did was serve others. remember how you and mom went and helped out at the shelter around christmas. and you felt good well grandpa would do little things that surved us which servied the lord. i want to be the kind of guy that wakes up at 4 in the morning to come over to my familys house and put a balloon and a happy birthday and doorbell ditch you at 5 in the morning just because he loves us. its the little things that mean so much to us and are so easy to do. so if you try each day to become a better person a little at a time and serive the people around you each day a little at a time than the spirit will help you. if all the members did what they were asked and invited others to come unto christ than there wouldnt be any missionarys today. they lord works in misterious ways and you need to be able to recgongize them. i love you marley very much and hope you do your best to fallow gods comandments. it says in my patriartical blessing to help set example for my family and im trying hard even though im your little brother i still can be looked up to and i love you alot really i do so be strong and read and pray EVERY DAY I MEAN IT lol so stay out of trouble Love elder nelson
