Carta de Elder Olson 3-15-2010

Enfermedades!!!!!!!
My companion got sick and I had to stay inside for 2 days, it was really hard for me to sit and study for so long. I studied a lot of spanish at least!! This was a good week, we went to the tourist area valle grande again with our zone, with lots of elders. It was cool to see the scenery there again. We didn´t have too much time to work this week because of zone conference and my companion´s sickness that he got.
We had to leave a few of our investigators, It seems that it wasn´t the right time for everyone, I always hope for that but sometimes we have to let people go. We have found a few others, specificly one lady who became good friends with a member of the church. Her name is roxana funes, and she has told us some interesting things and it seems like she is ready to hear us. She told us something, and I realized as members of the church we can make a huge difference. In the case of roxana funes, she has been told that missionaries are bad people. Roxana saw someone talking to missionaries, and asked the person why she was talking to them. The person was a member, and explained that we are good people. Thanks to that member, she didn´t say no when we found her on the street.
I have been focusing on chapter 2 in preach my gospel, and trying really hard to improve my study skills. I was able to learn with experience that the spirit is really important as we study, in this case, the gospel. As we pray for the help from the spirit, to help us to understand, our understanding and comprehension grows to a great level. In Jacob he tells us, 4:8 Behold, great and marvelous are the works of the Lord. How unsearchable are the depths of the mysteries of him; and it is impossible that man should find out all his ways. And no man knoweth of all his ways save it be revealed unto him; wherefore, brethren, despise not the revelations of God. .
The spirit is key... I know it´s true. Some things were so hard for me to understand, but as I strived to learn with the help of the spirit, I am able to comprehend things I though I never could before
