Living the Dream

I'm currently serving in a beautiful area with green rolling hills, (Simpsonsville).  I haven't spent a lot of time in my area because I'm always on exchanges, but I sure love it.  Happy Mother's Day. 

We had a great visit with Dane on Mother's Day.  He said he was going to create an agenda for our call and talk about coming home was not going to be on the list.  He is so focused on the Lord's work right now and that is all we could hope for.  He said his Mission President will give the missionaries signs (4 fingers means your doing great, 3 fingers means your doing okay, 2 fingers not so good, etc.).  We asked him what sign he typically gets from the President and he said he has always been and always will be a four.

Love you all,
Elder Dane Nielsen

It is a sign.....

Not many pictures this week.  I was on exchanges for 3 days in one area in the zone and 3 days in another so I was only in my area for one day.

Things are going great.  I love you all.

Love,

Elder Dane Nielsen

Piggly Wiggly

April 30th, 2012

These are my last few days in Windsor Lake and us in our Piggly Wiggly shirts.  Haha!  Piggly Wiggly is a big grocery store chain on the East coast.  I got transferred to Simpsonville which is really close to the BMW plant. It is a suburb of Greenville.  I love it here.  It is farmland with rolling green hills.  I am in a very small town about half the size of Spanish Fork. I could not be more happy. 

Mom, please text all the family and tell them "I love them".

Love,

Elder Dane Nielsen

My work is done in Windsor Lake

April 23rd, 2012

These are our two baptisms this past week and in fact my last two in Windsor Lake, I'm being transferred this Wednesday. I really enjoy this area and the people here, but I'm also happy and excited for a change.  I love this work, this is the best time of my life.

I love you all,

Elder Dane Nielsen 

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
