I'm getting transferred to Red Bluff, which is one of the most spread out zones in the mission. Apparently I am on a bike too. Future Lance Armstrong right here! Except for all the....yeah.
So...I am pretty excited to go to Red Bluff. There are mountains really close to the area, so just to see them will be awesome! I have been missing the Utah mountains pretty good, and so it will be nice to see some here! Red Bluff is more of a country area, except for the town of Red Bluff. It is one of the hottest areas in the mission, with a temperature reaching 115+.
We met with an investigator named Rene this past week, and we were able to have one of the most spiritual lessons that I have had on my mission. We were teaching him that Gospel of Jesus Christ, and we started talking about Baptism. He has talked about being baptized in the Lutheran church, and we started talking about proper authority. I was able to bear my testimony about the restored Church of Christ and the authority that we have. After that he kind of sat back and said, "That is what I was supposed to learn." When he had first met us he had told us that he felt there was something he was meant to learn from us, and he reminded us of when he said that. He said that he felt something like electricity run up his spine, and we talked to him more about the Holy Ghost and what the purpose of it is. We invited him to be baptized, but he said he is going to have to talk to his girlfriend. She plays a very large part in his life, and he doesn't want to mess anything up because they are getting married soon. She is Lutheran, so we are pretty sure he doesn't want anything to grow between them because of religion. We are hoping that he will choose to follow the promptings of the Spirit, because he has felt it so strongly.
I love you all, muchly. THE GOSPEL IS TRUE. I know it.
Much Love,
Elder Nielsen
