haha so first off I would like to apoligize for my last letter. haha I was really freaking out and I felt really down but that is ok cause now I am happy and serving the Lord like crazy. Even though the Huayco was something really traumatic and I saw so many sad things I felt comfort that the Lord is going to take care of the people in Chosica. Well It has been officially 2 weeks since I have been away from Chosica but today in the morning we got a call from president and he told us we can return to Chosica. Ohhhh that was so amazing and I was so happy and right now I am typing in my sweet sweet Chosica. haha Well right now I am just really excited to teach and help people. It is going to be the best. Well wow general conference was really amazing and of course my favorite talk was from Elder Holland. He is the man and I really think he is such a beast. All that gave me so much motivation to work harder and help everyone in my area. Also he just has a way to talk to people and just freaking throw it down. haha that was by far the best talk but I also enjoyed a lot more. I cant remember who said it but he said that if you are texting during the sacrament then you are not on a great path and like tearing down your spiritual strength. hahahaha that was so crazy and everyone in the room was going crazy. oh and by the way I watched it in english with all the missionaries. It was so direct but it was right. The apostles and the prophet just really know how to give it to you. I know they are called of God and I could feel the spirit in every talk they gave. It was so awesome.

Well I spent another week in Las Lomas and really it was super hard to work. Thinking so much of the people in Chosica I felt really weird. Well we kept on going and really I am so happy that we are back and I had the chance to work with other Elders. During the time I was in Las Lomas we found 2 families and 26 new people to teach. That is really good and it was super crazy cause it felt like every person we contacted wanted to hear the message and let us into their home. haha It was really good and in that area they are going to baptize so much. And that is where I feel confused. Should I feel sad that I wont get to see them get baptized or should I feel happy. That is what I asked myself this week every day and I finally decided that it is something so amazing. I also remembered I forgot the reason I wanted to talk to everyone about the gospel. I dont care how many baptisms I have, I only care about the people that have a seed planted in their hearts. That is something amazing cause when I leave they might go get baptized and through my little message that I give them, will help them increase their faith. And maybe a little later in time they will have another companionship come by and do the exact same thing and then they have another great oppurtunity to accept the gospel. Wow it is truely amazing and I love how the mission and just life works like that. Everyone can find happiness through pacience and diligencia. It is truely amazing to be a missionary in this time and I cant wait to get back on track in my area. Well that is all that happend this week and I really hope you all had a great easter. Cause mine was amazing. Sharing the gospel and going hard with the conferencia. hahaha well I really love all of you and I hope this next week is amazing.
Love Elder Nieman
