Dear y'all, This week was good, I am getting transferred to the Pilgrim Mill and Faller Park wards in the Coal Mountain Stake so that should be excited. I was in the coal mountain Stake right before I came to Papermill actually. We found a lot of cool people and had productive lessons. Sorry for the lack of details, but I don't have a lot of time to do anything today since I am packing up to go. I also went on two exchanges which was crazy Lots of love, Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler

Dear y'all, This past week has been very interesting. Because it's the middle of summer about half of our friends are out on vacation and it has been hard to get into contact with any of them. Through this particular adversity we were still able to assist and help those wonderful people in Paper Mill. One thing that was interesting was that the Roswell Stake had a special devotional for new/returning/and non-members. It was a really good opportunity to invite our friends to feel the Spirit and most of our investigators were able to make it whether in person OR virtually while they are on vacation. I also gave a talk yesterday about love, share, and invite and how the ward can be missionaries. One thing that stood out about it was the fact that the church's microphone was broken so I had to PREACH to the congregation! Everyone said that I looked like a Baptist preacher while I gave my talk (they also said it was good!) but even the people at the back of the chapel could hear me so I felt accomplished! Thank you for the musical theater practice Lord! We also did some crazy service with Brother Terry! We were able to move two different sheds using our raw whits and spiritual (and physical) might. Afterwards my Zone leader Elder Hancock recommended we visit Arby's and order "THE MEAT MOUNTAIN ''. This heavenly sandwich is a masterpiece on the Arby's secret menu and has EVERY SINGLE MEAT in between two slices of bun. It has the meats. Let it be known, it was probably one of my favorite fast food items I have ever had. Also, it's only 10 dollars. (Arby's TM did not endorse this message) Also, my apartment finally got a new couch! The old one was getting torn apart so it has been good to sit on a new one. Anyways, hope you all have a great week, hope everyone stays safe! Sincerely, Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler

Dear y'all, Tomorrow marks my very first day I stepped foot in Georgia so that is very fun to recognize. This week was pretty cool, I went to the temple and had a wonderful experience full of revelation. It was wonderful. We taught a wonderful fellow who is very interested in the gospel so that should be good and sadly both our friends on date were difficult to contact and we were unable to officially meet with them sadly. Pray for them, the adversary never stops (Brianna Perrie and Richard Guyton). Other than that, it was fun, we had some good food, and good times! God bless and happy independence day! Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler Ps: here is my first Georgia peach!

Dear y'all, This week was very interesting. Tuesday was a good start of the week, but after that it went down hill preeeetty quick. On Wednesday I was in the portugues area due to exchanges and I was also sick as a dog. I was sneezing, coughing and had a headache the whole time. Fortunately I don't know Portuguese in the first place so the people didn't miss out on much during our lessons. The next day we had zone conference which I was still sick during sadly. I did have interviews which was fabulous and it was good to meet with President Harris again. On Friday we had weekly planning for about 5 hours because we had to schedule and plan a baptismal service that got canceled. 🙃 it was still good, just a little disappointing . Other than those things not much happened. It was a good week and I had a lot of laughs with my companions. I am going to the temple this Thursday which I am ecstatic for. Should be great! Hope everyone is doing well. God bless and I love each of you, Sincerely, Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler

Dear y'all, These past two week have been crazy! I am staying in Paper Mill with Elder Shaw and we got a new companion named Elder Weyland. He is a great missionary and teacher and it has been a wonderful experience being in a trio again since it has been so long. Other than just normal missionary things the main happenings in the area are that we have 2 baptisms scheduled (yay!) and we are hoping for another to be scheduled soon. It has been wonderful to see the Lord working through our efforts and allowing our friends to make necessary changes in there lives. It has humbled me more than I can express. Other than that nothing too crazy has happened. I did make a movie with my district which was probably the funnest thing in the world so here is the link to that. This is a sequel to the Schindler family classic "Tales of Aldramadore" so for those who haven't seen it yet enjoy. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_DtFRIgiyIqxKtOQQZl4hiFfMAmoeJZL/view?usp=drivesdk Anyways, have a good week! I love you all. Sincerely, Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler
