Update!

Hey how is everything going? Here everything is going well. I saw both Matt and Skylar (missionaries that went out on missions also from Henderson) the first two days that they arrived. Matt has the meal time before me and I get to see him almost every other day.

Did you get to see all of Conference? I thought it was awesome. Here they make you wear suits to the conferences and it is mandatory to see all 5 sessions. But I didn't mind.

Its crazy that I only have 20 more days here at the MTC!!!!!! Come three weeks from today I will be over the Pacific ocean on a twenty hour flight!!! Its a little scary.

And make sure you guys keep a good list of things that I have to watch when I get home. and don't lose it! :)

Well I talked to the lady who is in charge of meals and I now get my own specified food!! Its pretty cool. And the language is steadily getting harder (since we're not allowed to read romanized anymore and now have to read script) but it is still a very fun language to learn.

Thank you for the medication and I'm doing well on that now.

as for everything Else, I miss ya all and I hope your all having a good week. Although you may think work or school is hard, wait until you have served a mission, then everything will seem easy! :) but it is a very worthwhile experience and I wouldn't be doing anything else.

Well I'm sorry this is so short but I run out of things to write quick! Everything in the residence is going well. Me and a few of the new Thai elders made a volleyball net out of one of our sheets in the residence hall and played some volleyball. It was pretty fun. Thank you so much for all the Easter treats. Most are gone but I'm sure some of it will last me til I'm outta here.

I'm slowly seeing how my English is getting worse. It is all because of my romanized Thai. If you ever find in one of my letters an n with an extended tail, just remember that it is an ng sound.

LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH AND HOPE YOU ARE ALL DOING WELL!! LOVE YA ALL!

ELDER GEORGE EDWARD NELSON

More news from his first week!

To start off, there is some bad news... Elder Brennan is thinking of leaving the MTC and going home. Keep him in your prayers and cross your fingers to hope he doesn't leave! He is George's favorite companion. But a funny event did occur! While walking around the MTC, a bus drove by and flipped George's group the bird. It was a little mean, but mostly funny!

Keep writing George letters! He will write back every P-day, which is Tuesday for him. Keep him in your prayers!

First Week!

George is having a great time in his first week!!! He has been assigned 2 companions, and their names are Elder Joseph Brennan and Elder John Martin. George and Joseph get along very well and he says it's like they have known each other for a long time! John isn't like George or Joseph, but he is still a crack-up. There is one odd thing about John though, he crawls around in his sleep! But they all do get along pretty well.

The food at the MTC is great! George thinks he is going to gain 10 pounds while he is there! Even better, you get to eat as much as you want! Also, he says there are a lot of good looking girls there, but he is staying away from them because it's the missionary thing to do! The language is going very well, and he has learned how to say his prayers and bear his testimony in Thai. He loves all of his friends and family and misses them very much!

Please write George a lot of letters! He appreciates it a ton!
