Letter from Elder Nellesen

Several photos and a couple letters are new to the blog.  I found his companions mom on a mission mom website this week.  Thank you to them for raising a son who can put up with my son.

Letter from Elder Nellesen

Read Elder Nellesen's letter in the "letters" page and look at the two new photos he sent in the "photos" page.  He's doing much better....aside from bed bugs. 

The First Letter from Zimbabwe

We've received our first letter from Elder Nellesen.  He's been in Zimbabwe for 5 days.  He has a bad case of jet lag and bed bugs it sounds like to me.  He needs encouragement.  It's a very hard mission to endure after living in the USA.  God sends his elite to Africa.  That's just my opinion.  Also he would love pictures.

Letter from Elder Nellesen

In "Letters" is posted the latest letter from Elder Nellesen.  He sounds great!  Please continue to write him and pray for him.  On Halloween he will begin his journey to Zimbabwe.  I suppose that we will not hear from him via email until after he gets settled there.  However when he travels to Zimbabwe he will be able to call home on layovers.  We're excited for that. 

The First Letter...

Much anticipated.  It seemed like it took a long time to hear from Elder Nellesen.  His Preparation Day (aka P Day) is on Tuesday at the MTC.  This is the day we will hope to hear from him and update the blog.  He is asking for letters from loved ones....that includes you!  The easiest way is to use Dear Elder, it's a free service.  The information is on the blog home page.

Let the Adventures Begin!

He never looked back....I'm taking it as a sign that he's comfortable about where he's going!

I hope we didn't over pack him....I already know that we did :)
New Photos are posted in the "Photos" page.
