Dear y'all, This week was pretty great! On Monday we met with a less active member who has been struggling with certain addictions and has had a rough time. We invited him back to church and he wanted to come back and make a change in his life. Unfortunately he didn't make it to church but we will see what happens in the future. On Tuesday I went on exchanges with the Azalea Elders because Elder Bateman had to run off to Mission Leadership Conference and it was awesome! I got to spend the day in my previous area and It was blast. On Wednesday we moved a member and his non member wife and learned that she wants to get sealed in the Rome Italia temple so we are excited to start teaching her this Sunday! On Friday I went on exchanges...in Chestatee! (My other previous area for those paying attention.) Chestatee was so fun to come back to and meet with Jere (the metaphorical Mormon) Krischel and Jeremiah Williams who was one of my favorite members ever. Lastly, Sunday was great! I gave a talk about being an instrument in the Lord’s hands and I lead a discussion with my companion about doing missionary work with the youth and it was very spiritually uplifting. Then we taught Timothy Paul. He has lived one of the most difficult and most frivolous lives I have heard of and at the age of 61 he lost everything. Right when that happened he found God and realized he existed. We taught him about his divinity as God's son and he ate it up and he wants to be baptized. It was honestly one of the coolest lessons I have taught on my mission and we are excited to continue to teach him. Anyways, gotta bounce, love yall. The members here are treating me well so don't worry about anything! Sincerely, Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler
