Thank you so much for your emails, it sounds like you all are having a great time. we are having a great time here in the mission. On saturday we had a devotional in our mission.. one of the best that i have had. Elder Amado of the seventy, and Elder Kosta of the presidency of the seventy were there. i learned a lot of things and i know that we will be able to work better as a mission thanks to this conference. in the morning we hiked up a mountain, and i took pictures, so that i could have something to send you guys. its the same one as before but with different people. I'm still in the same area with Elder Garcia. the truth is we are just working hard, trying to do everything we can to find the people that are waiting for us. i love the people here and i love the mission. thank you all so much for your support and for your prayers. don't forget to pray for the people here in Chile.
Love,
Elder Nelson

Hey hows it going!! its great to hear from you, sorry the emails have been a little short. but we have been really busy. there are a lot of things that are changing in our mission. with the way we teach, how we work and basically everything. but it all comes from the prophet and is going to help our mission a lot. but we have had conferences and trainings like loco. we are teaching a few people, but things are a little slow with people progressing. but we are working harder than ever, and the animo(i cant remember what its called in english) is higher than ever. i don't really have much to report, and sorry i haven't been taking many pictures. but i will get better at that, until then i hope you can forgive me. i love you all and hope you have a great week.

Hey hows it going!!! it sounds like you all have been having a busy time. cant believe that Michael and Nick are coming home, it seems like they just left. well i don't have much to report, the work is moving forward like always. there are a lot of changes in our mission. a lot of my old companions leaving, and a lot of new missionaries arriving. but that's life, full of changes. and that's the thing i love about the plan God has for us, the opportunities it gives us in life, to always be progressing. love you guys sorry this was a little short, talk to you next week.

Hey hows it going? well.... every day in the mision is a great experience. we are just working hard trying to find the people that will progress and trying to fulfill our purpose as missionaries. dont get discouraged!! sometimes people take a detour, believe me i know. what she needs is a friend that will love her unconditionally. try to put yourself in her shoes, its hard to do, because we have grown up in the church all our life. she has just entered a new world with new rules and a new lenguage. its hard to change. i imagine that she is learning how hard it is to be a real diciple of Christ. try and give her a perspective eternal. i know that you can do it, love her and have faith in the spirit. i love you guys and i will talk to you all later.

well i have had a fantastic week, i hope you all have had a great week also. i have to tell you i am very thankful for the chance that i have to help others and to help change the lives of others. i am reminded of the talk of E Bednar about tender mercies. i have seen a lot of those this past week. and then to top it all off as i was walking though Renca to go use internet, i meet up with a man that i had taught in my last sector that i was in. the father of a family that is very dear to my heart. he told me that i had taught them well that they are still attending chruch, that they are still firm in the gosple. it was exactly what i needed to hear, my heart filled with pure joy to see him and to hear that glorious news, i was basicly crying right there en the street. i look forward to going with them to the temple to watch them get sealed for time and eternity. i know that these things are true, i want to shout them from the roof tops. that God has a plan for our families that we can live together for ever. that thought keeps me going, through the hard times. i love you guys with all my heart, and am eternally grateful for what you have done for me. for rasing me up in this wonderful gospel. i am sorry for everything that i have ever done to offend any of you or to cause any kind of harm. but it all worked out in the end and i know that many people will be and are eternally grateful for what you have done as parents, you have set the example and i expect to follow it. thank you so much. and have a great week.
Love,
Your son, Elder Tyler Nelson

Hey hows it going!!! thanks for all the emails!! it was great to receive all of them at once, the last week i couldnt even get on the internet. we had transfers. i stayed en the same place but now i have a new comp. his name is Elder Garcia de Honduras. he is great and has a lot of anime, wereas i am more tranquilo. its a good mix, and the first latino comp that i have had, it is different, very different, but will also help my spanish. thank you all for writing me, Jessie, Dad, mom, breanna, chad, grandma and grandpa. also thank you for the letters from the young women, it was great to hear from so many people. sorry i dont have time to write you all back. every one is growning up i cant believe i will finish one year this week. i really cant believe it. time has flown by, in order to help with your talk, a few points are: one worthiness, that is the first thing that is the most importante, to get everything taken care of before hand, the other is Preach my Gosple especially chapter 3 the leccions, study, memorize it, live what it teaches. in my mission we are a mission of Preach MY Gosple and you can see the results, baptisams and in the lives and the obedience of the missioneres. learn to love the scritures, learn how to set good personal goals and to achive them, learn to reconocer the spirit and now how to follow it, and the atonement of Jesus Christ, to experience it in your life, the power to change, and be a better person every day, to develop a good strong relacionship with your heavenly father. those are some of the ideas that i can think of right now. i know that if you aply them, you will be more perpared spiritually to serve a mission. i am doing great and i know that this church is true. i love you all and will talk to you all later.
Love,
Elder Nelson
