Elder Nickel's Letter from April 6th

Once again, I am just sending the meaty part of Taylor's letter. The rest is just a question/answer period. Kirk's family grew up with the Nash's. Taylor must not have known that. Love you guys. Teri

For our devotional on tuesday we had marcus b. nash of the quorum of the seventy come and speak. a few points i liked from his talk were that we as missionaries should treasure this time, because it will go by fast. also i like when he said that we have this church to enable the children to enter the highest level/degree we can obtain (celestial kingdom). it just made me realize that some of these people i teach and end up getting baptized will make it to the celestial kingdom. it is neat to think that i will see them there and it will be a great reunion! In the TRC, we taught a pretend investigator the second lesson. he was a native spanish speaker. he said that he could understand our spanish and that we had great spanish dialect. it made me more confident in myself with learning the language and also made me realize that the gift of tongues is real. it's crazy to think of how much i have learned in three weeks here. i have learned more here already than i did in my 2 years of french. in the TEC, we taught a lesson, and the lady gave us feedback. she basically chastized us and said she didnt feel anything and that we were just teaching a lesson. she had us give a 5 minute overview of the atonement without any notes. we gave a big testimony and i could definetely feel a difference. it was so powerful and all of us felt the spirit. i hope i can have that same power when it comes to teaching the people in minesota! On fast sunday it snowed here. we went to the temple to take some pictures. it was beautiful! anyways, i love you all! have a wonderful week. i will end with a thought. Ninguna prueba es imposible. No trial is impossible. You can overcome any difficulties you might come across in your life with the help of the Lord. have faith!

Love,
Elder Tay Nickel
