Letter dated 25Apr2022

Happy 25th of April y'all, Since it is the perfect date because it is not too hot or too cold and all you need is a light jacket I have had a great day (that was a movie reference for those who didn't understand my stunning humor) It truly has been a great day and a great week to boot. I had interviews with President Harris, exchanges, wonderful visits with members, and wonderful visits with prospective members. In my interview with my mission president it was great to receive his feedback, insights, and general wisdom which he carries. It was exactly what I needed and interestingly enough he told Elder Cameron and I that Elder Cameron would be leaving the area a week in advance so we were able to visit more members to say goodbye that we likely would have. I went on exchanges with Elder Apolônio from the Clear Springs Portuguese branch and it was a little silly because neither of us drive so we ended walking to a our appointments which was envigorating to say the least. It was pretty fun though since I finally felt like I was doing missionary work how I viewed missionary work as a kid so it was fun to live my fantasy. Lastly, I have been blessed to be in this amazing area. The ward has been strengthened, our friends have grown in faith, and I have grown tremendously since the day I got onto my MTC Zoom meeting (not just in weight). Love you all, it is a pleasure to even be in your thoughts. God bless you, Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler
