My Family

It was a great week other than we hit a snake in the car. The two elders next to me I trained and the two on the far left were trained by my trainees (so my "grandchildren" as they say in the mission field). It is fun being a missionary, working hard all day and coming home at night knowing I did my very best..... there is no better feeling.
I love you all. Have a great and wonderful week.
Love,
Elder Dane Nielsen

A little piece of Wayne County

This is Elder Fonnesbeck and I this week having fun and doing a lot of baptizing. I thought Grandpa Milton would get a kick out of the picture of me on Wayne.
Thanks for all "y'all" do and for "y'alls" support.
Love you all,
Elder Dane Nielsen

Two more years please!!!!

This is our week. That's my trainee Elder Brannan in the pic with the 3 other missionaries and his trainee so "my grandson". They use family terms as missionary lingo so i guess that's kind of my family line. I drove two of those missionaries back in the mission van from a meeting this week into the upstate of Greenville, it was a fun trip. Then I drove those two and ten other missionaries back home. We had a baptism of a sweet sister who loves the gospel so much. That is a picture of me and my comp and him dancing in the church! We have such a good time together. I love it so much! Things are great here and I think I'm ready to start my time again and go 2 more! I love this work and this gospel. I know its true its so much fun!
Love you all,
Elder Nielsen

The church is growing

It has been a good week and there were some huge changes. The ward I'm working with got a new Bishopric and we got a another ward put into our Stake. It was fun because there were only a few people (including us) who went to the meeting where they told about the changes. I'm excited about all the changes and growth potential in this area.
I really love this work. I love it so much. Great things are happening and it is just so much fun to be part of it.
Love you all,

Hi everyone,

Things are going great. I am just getting over a nasty cold. Not a lot of updates from me other than we are still super busy.

I love being a missionary, baptizing people, and crying repentance to others. I never thought I would love being a missionary like this.... but I do! I wouldn't have it any other way!!

Love you all,
Elder Dane Nielsen

Elder Fonnesbeck

Hi Family,

It has been a while. I have been super busy!!! You know the life of a missionary.

I got a new companion this week his name is Elder Fonnesbeck. He is so great!!! The President called me on Wednesday and told me I was being assigned with Elder Fonnesbeck who had been serving as an assistant to the President. Elder Fonnesbeck was the first person I met and went out with on splits when I arrived in SC.

It is so much fun. I have never had so much fun as being a missionary. What a great life!!!

Love you all,
Elder Dane Nielsen

Never drive in wet cement

It was a great week...we had two baptisms.  We baptized a mother and her daughter.  It was
such a great experience.

The car wheel in the cement was a long story! I was trying to cross a "small river" ha ha ha
(the small river part is an inside joke).  The workers said, "Oh it should be fine to go thru,
it should be dry".  So I was like "WOW" I don't know much about cement, but that looks
really wet.  So I tried it with one tire and sank to the frame.  Ha ha, luckily I have had some
"experience" with getting high centered with Grandpa, so I was able to back out.  It was so
funny!

It really was a great week.  I love it here and love the work.  I am really looking forward to
this week because we have two appointments set up with two great Stake Presidents to help
the work move along in this area.

I love you all!!!

Love Elder Dane Nielsen
