1 WEEK IS DONE

1 WEEK IS DONE

Hey everyone. Man what a week of up and downs... This has honestly been the most rewarding and spiritual week of my life. I honestly cried my self to sleep every night except for last night. The comforting thing to know is that I am in Gods University now and He is always watching over me. It feels so good to be in Gods Army and be able to go out and Gather Israel. I am really starting to love life hear at the MTC. I love learning Italian. It is coming along slowly but surely. I can already say a prayer and bare my testimony in Italian. My companion is amazing at Italian. He is seriously the funniest kid that I have ever met and I am so grateful for him. We are growing to be pretty close friends.

I just got back from an endowment session at the Provo Temple. This felt so good. That was honestly the best two hours of my life. Today is a special day...because it is Moms birthday. It felt priceless to get in to the Celestial Room and feel her right by my side. I never wanted to leave that place...

They keep us super busy here. 16 hour days, every single day...but I love the work. I was made a district leader the first night that I got here and My district is growing so close already. I love all of the members on my district. We all may be a little different from each other, but we all are so kind and are so good to each other. We spend about 9 hours a day in a classroom learning Italian. ME and my companion have already taught 3 lessons in Italian. It is starting to become fun. We try to speak our language as much as we possible can and I am learning so much. 

Our branch presidency is amazing. They are so kind and know so much about the gospel.

I am really missing home and everyone at home, but I know that I am in the right place. I think about you guys every single day and pray to out Heavenly Father that you guys will be okay. I have truly been blessed with the best family of all time. I am so grateful and blessed. I feel so much more love for you guys know...I cannot wait to hug you guys in 103 weeks. IT will be here before you know it....But until then I am going to work my hardest to become the best missionary that I can become.

The end of John 14:27 says...

"Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

This has helped me out so much this week so I thought it would help you guys as well. Everything is going to be okay, and I will be home before you know it. 

Just know that I love you guys with all of my heart. I think and pray for you guys all the time. You are always in my heart and mind.  I know that God is with you guys and He is also with me.

Give Grandma Nan a hug for me and tell her that I love her.

I love you guys with every fiber of my being.

Much Love...

Elder Nessen.

p.s. I GET TO CALL HOME ON CHRISTMAS. ( in between 3:15 and 5:15 for a half hour) Please let everyone know.

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!
