Elder Joshua Nieman

Everyday is a freaking rollercoaster. haha I miss lagoon. One day I totally understand and I can talk and there are no problems and then other days I start talking and the people give me a weird look and say they dont understand. haha it sucks but I love it and I like messing up cause that is how I am going to learn. YES¡¡¡ I finally made someone cry. I think every begining missionary wants someone to cry because of the spirit. haha no just kidding but it was really cool this week cause I taught a lesson on diligencia. Wow I didnt even notice I wrote that in spanish. Diligence. haha my spelling sucks. But yeah we go up to the door and this married couple who are members invite us in and when we get done with the opening prayer my companion turns to me and just smiles. haha I was totally caught off guard. Well it took a while to start but when I started to go I could feel the language just spit out of me. I dont even remember what I said but I guess it was really good cause they felt the spirit and actually learned something from me. It is super cool when we put all our trust in the lord and really come closer with him through prayer and studying the scriptures he will help us. That was the first time I felt like a tool for the lord. It was also a really good confidence builder but then the next day it was really hard to talk and understand. haha oh well I will keep on trying. All of our investigators are progressing and they all came to church on sunday. Me and my companion were pretty pumped and it looks like we will be getting some baptisms soon. It is really exciting and I am so happy to be here and just helping people. Even on the bad days and it feels like all is coming to an end I can still feel the spirit. I love our heavenly father cause he is helping me so much. I feel like everything is going well and this week I will have the oppurtunity to go to the temple. I am so excited to go to that amazing place.
     Other things that happend this week was Elder Martinezs birthday was this week. It was intresting to see how they celebrate birthdays and just how they do stuff. haha after the celebration my roommates found the hand sanitzer and got some matches and started to light their hands on fire. They really wanted me to do it but I looked at their hands and they were all burnt. Yeah I quickly declined that offer but it was really funny to see them freak out. Oh my there cake is the best thing I have ever tasted. I really cant describe how mean of a cake they bake. A lot of the food here is so good and then there are some other things that arent so good but hey I will need to get used to that. HAHA when I get finished with my food at the pensionista they ask if I want more and when I say I am alright, they just laugh and bring out another plate. haha So much food and it is so hard to finish it all but that is ok cause I like the food. Update on me getting fat nope. It is never going to happen. This is so random but This week I thought a lot about you all and how much love you give me through all your letters. It really helps me out and I just want to say thank you. This has been difficult but it always lifts me up to see all your letters. I truely with all my heart love all of you guys. I know I say that every week but I just want you all to know that I mean it and you guys are the best. I couldnt have asked for better people in my life than you guys. Well that is all I have for this week and I will talk to you next week.
Love you all forever
Elder Nieman
