Photos!!!! 7/23/12
Dear Family and Friends,
Well we had a great week and i am out of time cuz i wrote a few of you personally and I still have to write President. I hope you enjoy the photos. This week we baptized a geat lady named Olga Adames. She had spinal surgery about 8 months ago, so we had her sit on a metal chair in the font and my companion and I tilted the chair back. It was great. The sanchez family is progressing well. We hope to baptize them all at the end of the transfer. Right now 3 of them have a set baptismal date, 2 have to get married, and the dad still has to come to church hahahaha. But i´ve got faith. I know that I was called to this area for this family. God put me here and he confirmed to me that they are the reason i´m here.
Spiritual Thought
Alma the younger, The sons of Mosiah, and Samuel the Lamanite were all discouraged at one point, but the Lord encouraged them. With alma he sent an angel and promised him a mission companion. With the sons of mosiah he personally promised them success. The point is that the lord does not forget those who are on His errand. He knows it is tough, but qualifies those of us that He has called. He promises that he will go before our face, and send his angels on our left and right to bear us up. In his own way, at just the right moment, when we think we can go no further, he swoops in and says "my son, dont give up. you are doing so well and have great cause to rejoice. keep your head up and stay strong." I testify that we can trust in Him. We need not fear because he has overcome the world. He has overcome death. He loves us and is always with us if we have our heart inclined towards Him.
Love,
Elder Nichols
