Whats up everybody?! how is everything going? Things are still going well here. As you all know, I am still hard at work in May Pen with my new comp. Elder Montgomery aka blackgomer haha just kidding. But things are going good. We are working hard trying to get people ready for baptism. We have a family consisting of a mom and her two teenage children who will be getting baptized next sunday... Yes!. They are pretty awesome. Last week we went over to teach them, and after we were done teaching, the mom went into the house and came back with a rag and some shoe polish and she just bent down and started cleaning our shoes. We then quickly told her that we could clean them ourselves so she wouldn't have to. We weren't expecting it at all so it was kind of awkward and funny and cool to see the love that she has for us, and the love that she has for the Lord.

But on the spiritual side, There is another story about the same lady who started cleaning our shoes. For the sake of this email's confidentiality, we will call her name Shoe Lady. Last week after we had taught Shoe Lady, she told us that a few days earlier, her neighbors came to her house and cussed her out because they saw that she was meeting with the "Mormons", and they very much disliked us. Shoe Lady then told us that after we had left from teaching her, a few days after her neighbors came and cussed her, the same neighbor came and started banging on her door and yelling for her to come out again. Shoe Lady  told us that she just stayed in her house and she said that she just curled up in a ball in the corner and would not go to answer the door. Eventually she got the courage and went to answer the banging. When she opened the door, she saw her neighbor in tears and she came and hugged Shoe Lady and said she was sorry. She then told Shoe Lady, "Im sorry, those guys who are teaching you don't seem so bad anymore. They said hello to me as they were riding by!"

It was crazy that all those hard feelings that the neighbor had against church members dissolved after we simply said hello to her. I would just challenge all of you back home to always set a good example and clarify to people who may have misconceptions about our religion, what we are all about. Your good example will allow the spirit to touch others and help them to be more accepting to the gospel, and to fellow Latter Day Saint members. Well sorry if this email was confusing. as you can all probably tell my literary skills have already begun degenerating haha, but I really do love it out here. Elder Montgomery and I are getting along very well. And my love for our Savior Jesus Christ has been increased. I love this gospel, I love my Savior and I love all of you back home. Thank you for all of your prayers and support. I really do appreciate it.

Love,
Elder Nugent
