I cant believe that i have almost been in the MTC for a week!! Time has gone by sooo fast!! Its been super crazy and busy! Also my p-days in the MTC are on Tuesdays! GUYS... oh my gosh I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE 8 SISTERS IN MY DISTRICT! They are so cute and its crazy how close we have all gotten in the past week! We are all going to the HILL Cumorah Visitors Center the same day! And im so pumped! There is the cutest teacher here at the MTC that just got back from our mission and she literally makes it sound like the best place on earth and gets so excited for us! And just freaks out with excitement and stories every time she sees us! haha Shes the cutest thing ever!! And after talking to her we are all so excited to actually get out into the mission field! Even though we have only been here at the MTC for less then a week! Haha! Okay let me just say that my companion is the best ever!! we get along and work together SO WELL!! She is amazing! And I love her! She laughs so hard at like EVERY SINGLE THING i say hahah its so funny! 🤣 And I've had so much fun getting to know all these cute sisters! Anyways she is the best and I love her so much!! 
Being here for Conference was such a special experience I absolutely loved it. At the end when they announced that they were getting a temple in Salta Argentina i literally jumped out of my chair and screamed to all my sisters that Salta is where josh is serving!! I seriously was so happy! Honestly guys I cant even begin to tell you how strong the spirit is here in everything we do! Its absolutely amazing! We taught out first real investigators yesterday and one of our investigators name is Anna and she is from Russia. And as we tried to plan out what to teach her we felt inspired to just follow the spirit and not plan a specific lesson. It was so weird because usually i freak out about not having a specific topic or plan to teach our investigators with because I feel like I have to write every thing down and plan it all out or else i wony know what to say during the lesson. But when we were trying to plan the lesson out for her the spirit was very strong in telling me and my comp to just communicate and talk more in our companionship and not write any specific lesson down. Hopefully that all makes sense !!! Haha So as we started the lesson and talked to Anna and got to know her she had a lot of hard questions that she asked us and my companion is very good at coming up with answers quickly and as we were trying to answer her questions she had a really hard time understanding how Joseph Smith translated the Book Of Mormon and she kept telling us that she thinks that he just wrote the book himself and made it all up and that it wasn't from God! And it was getting hard for my companion to not get overwhelmed because usually she kinda talks most of the time cause she's just really fast! But in that moment i suddenly felt prompted by the spirit to talk about my experience with praying to know if the Book Of Mormon was true and asking God if Joseph Smith was a true prophet. And as i explained my experience with having similar questions to hers when i was younger and praying and asking god if all of this was true. And that i did get an answer and i testified to her that i know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph in the Sacred Grove and that the Book of Mormon is the Word of God. And as I bore my testimony to her i also invited her to read the book of Mormon and ask god to know for her self that it is true. And after that the spirit in the room was the strongest that i have ever felt in my entire life. I know that the gift of tongues is real not only with speaking a different language but with having the spirit guide you with what to say. She then told us that she wants to pray about it and accepted the invitation. It was the coolest experience of my life and i already have so much love for her and my other investigators. GUYS i know with all my heart that this is where I'm supposed to be. I'm so grateful to be able to serve my Heavenly Father and do this great work to bring others unto him. This has been such an incredible week i have learned so much and want to continue to learn as much as i can! I also want to sincerely thank everyone that is praying for me. I can feel your love and I'm so blessed to have so many amazing people in my life! THIS CHURCH IS TRUE!!! And I'm so grateful for my decision to serve the lord for these 18 months!!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
Love, Sister Nelson
