Ups and Downs

Viña at night

My ties....all packed and ready to go from the last transfer

Hey everyone.
SO this week was full of ups and downs. Especially with our main investigator, Gladys. We had a lesson on Wednesday, while i was on interchanges with Elder Tondevold. She flat out has a lot of doubts and is nervous about what her family thinks. She was pretty embarassed talking about things with us because she said we were the same age as her kids. she feels like she needs some time to think about everything. Gladys told us to pass by in a month.....how depressing. The only thing that helped me get over it was the great general conference that we had. How AWESOME!!!! I loved every talk especially the talks on Saturday. I was able to get some really good notes but just cant wait for the ensign to come out to be able to study them again. I have never really felt that way about a general conference but just about every talk was a powerhouse talk that really left an impression. It was also pretty sweet to hear that Concepcion, Chile is getting another temple. That will really help the people in the south be able to get to the temple easier.
Things are going good down here as well as the weather. Its getting nice and warm now during the day. Last night however, was pretty cold in the evening when the sun went down. The change is now half over. Things are really starting to fly by. Time being the first. This friday, we have a mission conference in Viña. I am looking forward to that. Should be a good one.
Well hope all is going well at home. Take care and love you all tons! Chao, Elder Nelson
