 Oklahoma City is Cool

Hello my good friends! So I have like a weird half p day today and I'll explain why later! 

This week has been great! As most of you know this is my last transfer! My old comp Bo Jackson went off to Italy so I got a new companion! His name is Elder Wilson from Arizona! He's a lil bit of a weeny but I'll survive! 

Let's see run down of the week. Tuesday was Dylan’s baptism!! He was so overwhelmed at the amount of people who came to support him! We had a nice service and then right after confirming him we gave him the priesthood so we could get him into the system so he could get a temple recommend asap. So yeah that was nice

Wednesday was transfers and as I mentioned I got a new comp and got to see loads of mission friends including Elder Scroggins! Good times. 

Thursday and Friday flew by without any incident because I was just looking forward to Saturday all week! 

Saturday our branch had a temple trip and with special permission from my mission president I was able to go down to the Oklahoma City Temple! Its not an experience most missionaries get when the temple is outside your mission, but it was SO good to be back in those holy doors. I truly know that the temple is the house of God. I got to go with two of my recent converts so that made the experience even more special! Sorry mom but I didn’t get pictures with them at the temple... they're not big picture people. I definitely got some of my own tho! So this is where the half p day comes in. Technically a temple trip counts as p day, but when we got back Wilson and I went to work so now we can have some time today to do other p day activities! 

But ya that's about all I've got! I may get lazier writing these last few weeks (I know how can I get worse I'm already awful) but know that I love every one of you and am grateful for the time I've had to serve a mission! 

Warmest regards,

Elder Nixon
