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
