Letter dated 21Feb2022

Goooood evening y'all, Sorry about the week delayed letter, I was just very preoccupied last week during my preparation day, but let's hop onto the updates. Since last time I went on exchanges with the Portuguese Elders who are in my district. That was super awesome and fun to be able to spend time in another area, but it was slightly less awesome and fun being unable to speak or understand the language. Oh well! We taught one of our friends named Zhane the Plan of Salvation and the Doctrine of Jesus Christ. He struggles to find faith so hopefully these lesson were able to show him the nature and love of both our heavenly father and of Jesus Christ. We did two service projects for one of our members named Brother Terry. One of them we cleaned the church building/raked some leaves for Brother Terry's friends and the other one we dug out the septic pipe for his son since it broke. That one smelled just as wonderful as you can imagine. We had two different zone activities. One was an ice cream social where we presented our ward mission plan to the stake and a zone conference which was a wonderful 6.5 hour long meeting. It was honestly wonderful and filled with the Spirit. Elder Cameron and I also performed a musical number called "I Will Serve Thee" for zone conference which was fun. Elder Cameron and I were also able to perform yesterday during sacrament meeting a piece called "Greater Miracles". We got many compliments from the ward so hopefully that is a good sign! Finally the reason I was unable to write a letter last week on Valentine's was because, drum roll please.... I got to play Dungeons and Dragons with the other lonely Elders (crickets). For real though, it was super fun to share one of my passions with others and I played it again today with my district which I thoroughly enjoyed. Hope you all are doing well, and I hope all continue to be well. Sincerely, Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler
