I may, or may not, have said this in a previous email, but I don't have time to check. Probably the greatest thing about being in an area where you bike all the time is the amount of thinking you get to do. I find myself quite often thinking about and pondering over may different topics and subjects as I ride my bike down the streets of Paramaribo. Sometimes its about Gospel subjects and other times its random things that popped into my mind. I once thought about thinking.... That one was difficult to say the least. Either way, I guess it is always good to take some time for ourselves and think. I would encourage you to do that this week.
Suriname is still the same. It is hot. The biggest difference is what starting happening on Friday and what occurred on Saturday. Apparently, the United States of America and Suriname have some agreement in regards to medical patients here in Suriname or something. Either way, a US Ship is currently sitting off the coast of Suriname and they are using Chanooks (SP?) to ferry people from the binnenland (Interior of the Country Forest Area) onto the ship for medical surgeries and to provide care. So we will be biking along when we'll just see a random helicopter or two over head, heading back and forth between the Zorg and Hoop Airport and the ship it's been pretty interesting.
On Saturday, there was a baptismal service where 14 different individuals were baptized. It was so amazing to watch each one of those people enter into a covenant with their Heavenly Father. The spirit was strong and it was a great opportunity. It was amazing.
Sorry for such email but I'm out of time.
I love you all,
Elder Nathan John Nielson
