What a long week. I had a ingrown toe nail and a tooth ache in the same week. I went to the dentist and found out I need a root canal.
Transfers are Wednesday and I am getting a new missionary to train.... it will be fun. I am loving the ward and the area it is really cool!

This is me in the great city of Myrtle Beach. We had a baptism on the 17th and hopefully another one on the 24th. There are lots of fun things to do here. It is a lot like Utah. I love it!
The picture of me in the ugly sweater with my pant leg rolled up is where I wrecked on my bike. You really can't tell but I tried to jump a river on my bike and didn't make it.
It was a fun week and there are lots of baptisms coming up in my district. The sister missionaries have two baptisms this week and the Spanish elders have one. Then on October 8th we have 17 people scheduled to be baptized. That will break a record if we baptize that many in one weekend. It will be sweet!

I love it here in Myrtle Beach!!!! We have a baptism this Saturday and then two the following week. Being a missionary is the greatest.

Last week Dane sent a letter home to everyone. It was great to get a letter we could sit down and read. He said, "Today we were getting food and stuff at Wal-mart when a member visiting from North Carolina came up and handed us $100 dollar gift card to Wal-mart!!! We were all really low on money because it was the end of the month and were trying to get stuff that was super cheap and nasty! But it was truly a blessing that he was there when we needed it the very most. I know it is a blessing from the Lord! This church is true!!! Don't ever forget it!"

One of our favorite parts of a letter we recently received said....Dad and Mom, I GET IT!!!!!! These are the greatest words a parent could hear from a missionary...the lord truly has blessed us all!

We had a good week in Myrtle Beach. Here is a picture of the beach right before we got moved to Florence to get out of the path of Hurrican Irene. It was pretty intense. We have a baptism this weekend. I love it in Myrtle Beach it is my favorite area by far. It is great. Don't know what else to say it is just ballin!

Transfers happened this past week and I got transferred to Myrtle Beach. Ya Buddy! It is such a ripe area. I love it here. We are going to have a lot of baptisms. We have one this Saturday with a 9 year old that we just said you need to be baptized. We ran on the beach this morning and watched the sun rise.... it was so much fun. The ward is awesome too. The said they want me to just baptize which is really exciting because I haven't heard those works since I left Summerville.
Picture of me at the zoo in West Columbia.
Dane has the acronym 'WWPMD' on his wall. It stands for 'What Would President McConkie Do'.

This is me and my last week in West Columbia. YES!!! I can't wait to leave. We had a baptism. The bishop here doesn't like me. We had "WARD WAR 3". They don't like us to baptize, but that is my speciality. I am getting moved this week hopefully to Myrtle Beach.
I finished the Book of Mormon last week and I started over and in 6 days I have made it to Alma. I'm going to try and finish in 15 days and then try it even faster. I love the Book of Mormon. It is great. READ IT! Check out my profile on mormon.org..... search for Dane Nielsen. I challenge you to make your own profile so I can show my gators them and help the progress of your testimonies. I want all you to go out with the missionaries and find them someone to teach!

No pics this week it rained all week and I don't take my camera when it rains. Transfers are this week. It is weird to have it rain all the time and be soaking wet and it still be a 100+ degrees. It is NASTY!
