Elders Kraus, Hefler & Nelson
Nick only got to stay with Ryan for six weeks. They were making lots of progress together, but Ryan had been in the same area for six months, which was a mission record. So they knew he would get transferred. Nick had said if he could choose his next companion, it would be Elder Nelson. And that's who he got! So he was sad to see Ryan go, but happy to get a good replacement. He says Elder Nelson is awesome and he'll like him just as much. It was actually an unusual transfer, because Elder Nelson came from the same zone. Nick says transfers are usually to a new zone, not another area within the same zone. Lately everyone has been flaking out--they've had lots and lots of cancelled appointments. But he did get to play football on the Boise State Smurf Turf. Elder Nelson played in high school, so their team dominated. He also got to watch the exciting fourth quarter of the first BYU game. EVERYONE was watching it, and nobody was going to turn the game off to talk to them, so they had no choice. So for now Nick stays at the Spjutes' home. Sister Spjute has been talking to me on facebook, and I get updates on Nick all the time. That is really fun. She hopes Nick will get to stay six months like Ryan. Nick hopes so too. He loves it there and is really close to their family. They even invited Melissa to stay with them when she comes up (not in the basement with the missionaries), since the mission president said Melissa's welcome to visit anytime.
