Was I Ever Really Gone?
Now be honest. Most of you didn't actually realize that I
hadn't sent an email in about 3 months... but that's okay. I don't hold it
against anyone. Feel free to send me packages and/or letters just so I know my
fans are still out there. (1517 East Kansas Ave. McPherson Kansas 67460) But
good news I'm back and better than ever. After a short time home, I'm so
excited to be back in Kansas serving the Lord!
So, I'm currently serving in the great town of McPherson
Kansas with my old companion Elder Robinson! Most of you will remember I
trained Elder Robinson back when we were in Great Bend together so it is SO
good to be back together. He is such a good missionary and a hard worker which
I'm grateful for. We have done some good work here in McPherson. We're teaching
a lady named Patricia who is pretty cool! She loves the Book of Mormon and most
of what we teach. She's had a cup of coffee every day for over 70 years so
she's not too fond of the idea of giving it up, but we got her a coffee
substitute that we're hoping helps. We had a sweet experience with her
yesterday. But I need to preface this story with a story. We had a devotional
Saturday night from Brother and Sister Swinton who used to preside over a
mission in England. Brother Swinton was telling us about the experiences of
some of the converts in his mission. In a majority of their stories they all
told about how they felt peace when they prayed about the church. We were then
counseled to point out that as a feeling from the spirit if our investigators
ever said that. So today whilst talking to Patricia she mentioned she felt
happy and calm when reading the Book of Mormon and I asked her if she felt
peace to which she responded she did. I remembered what we learned the night
before and I bore testimony to her that those feelings were all confirmation
from the spirit that what we have been teaching her is true. It was a tender
experience with the spirit there to once again testify of truth.
Well, I'd say that's pretty good content for only being in
Kansas a few days! Till next time
Warmest regards,
Elder Nixon
Enjoy this pic I took right before bed last night so I could
have a picture to send with the email.
