That's Elder Fitzner (he is my zone leader) and I, we were doing exchanges in Vernon. I love that guy. He's so awesome. I feel bad though because he goes home in a couple of months.
We had such an awesome week. We set four baptismal dates and almost set a fifth, the lady just needs to quit drinking coffee. We also had a little family we've been working with come to church and they loved it. Their kids thought it was super fun. I also got choked by a Southern Baptist guy. We knocked on his door one night and he said I don't need or want you mormons knocking on my door. He said I'm already saved. We said okay and he grabbed me by the neck. I'm not sure what I said to set him off, but he was big and mad. Luckily he just let go and we got the heck out of there. It was super crazy.
I can't believe how I've caught the spirit of missionary work. I love it. I think Salmon Arm is my favorite place in the whole world. My companion thinks I'm crazy because we run from door to door and I'm always betting him that we get a certain number of people to let us in the next ten houses.
When I first got to Canada I felt like I had to memorize the messages and that is what the people cared about, but I've learned it isn't a memorized speech it is the spirit, how we treat them, and what they feel that matters most. That has helped me so much.
It was so great to talk to you all on Mother's Day. I can't believe I have almost been out 6 months. It is the best out here. I really do love it. I love you all. Have a great week.
Elder Nielsen
