Howdy yall, So I wrote my email but I think it deleted itself. basically in summation, the week was good, but Elder Bateman came down with sickness after our mission met with Elder Dale G Renlund on Friday. since then we have been a little cooped up inside but Elder Batista and I go to go on exchanges with Elder Cabral while he left his sick companion (Elder Witte) with Elder Bateman. This Allowed me to perform a musical number ( which went well) and we still got to teach the youth. Please pray for our friend timothy paul Buckalew, he is going through some health complications that may have him lose his job. God be with y'all! Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler

Dear y'all, I got a double barrel shot gun pulled on me after knocking on a guys door. That was great. I went to the temple and it was awesome! Other than that, not much happened. A few people dropped us but this week should be a little more productive because of it! I also got sick but Elder Bateman has got them healing hands! Have a good one, Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler

Dear Yall, This week was great! Our friend Jazmin was baptized by her son Branly (crazy!) and it was super cool. We taught well and I got one of my previous district members as a companion as well as Elder Bateman! His name is Elder Batista and he is a convert from Brazil. Lessons went well and we got our oil changed twice since we got two different cars that needed maitenance. Anyways, God bless! Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler Ps: a brother in the ward has a crazy story about knowing Tammie Egbert. Ask about it next pday

Dear y'all, This week was great! Here is the run down Tuesday: on Tuesday we met with a member of the ward who has been through a lot named Brother Bell. He is such a sweet and wonderful man. We also visited with one of friends who was doing really well... until he got hospitalized on Saturday so yeah, not as awesome. For dinner that night though Brother Dewey (the ward music chairman) said I needed to sing for my dinner so I sang while one of the Sister missionary played the piano with me. It was super fun. We then learned a tik tok dance at mutual that night which was kinda fun. Wednesday: We had some great lessons and our friend Jasmine is on date! She is the mother of Branly and she is really excited for this commitment! Thursday: On Thursday we had an awesome Book of Mormon study with our friends and it went super well! The artist formerly known as Timothy was there (turns out Timothy is a stage name) and his real name is Paul Buckalew. He loved it and ended up coming to church and is super excited to live for Christ. He also helped produce the song "woomp there it is" so thats cool. Friday: it was good. Lessons happened and our friend Cain understands what the priesthood is. Saturday: we met and taught a nice grandma named Candy Sunday: the sacrament was fantastic and 4 of our friends made it to church and loved the topic of Psalms. Yeah, it was cool! Love you guys, Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler

Dear y'all, This week was actually kind of difficult. I'll just let my description explain On Tuesday it rained all day and our lessons/finding fell through. When we helped during youth night two young men got in a fist fight that Elder Bateman and I had to breakup. On Wednesday we found out one of our friends is back on alcohol after going through rehab and currently he is hospitalized because of it. On Thursday we spent the greater part of the day getting bashed by inactive members so that was fun On Friday I got to practice a musical number for a baptism on Saturday (yay!), but our visits for the day all fell through and no one was interested in learning more This was the first part of the week. All around it was pretty hard to get through. That was until this next part. On Saturday one of the friends of the sisters was baptized which was pretty awesome! We also had an awesome lesson with Branly's family and they are getting close to baptism. Sunday was awesome! Everything fell into place, we gave a blessing to the sisters' friend who was baptized, we found several people who want to learn more about the gospel and we met many kind people. Anyways, even though there were some hurdles in the week it ended on a high note which I am so grateful for. It was fantastic! God bless, Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler
