Facturas (Pastries), pan casero (home made pan), aceite (Oil). Dream
come true. My new diet.
Bowen gets better and better, I say that because it seems like I feel
fully adjusted in argentina. Comfortable with the language, good food,
and the people are sweet once you can understand them. The people are
very friendly, they share with us (food), we can stop by any house for
water and they are more than willing to give us water. even though we
are strangers.
We had a great week, we found a lady named roxana funes, who already
believes in what we say just because of how she feels when we talk
about the gospel. She came to church, it was so cool. All the members
were super nice to her, and it seems like she liked it a lot. We also
found another lady named naci. We buy home made bread from her, and
she is super interested. She tells us that she notticed a lot of
people from the church of jesus christ of latter day saints once were
catholics, and she wants to know why. Despite that we had to leave
some people, we are still friends, and we believe that we left them
with a good feeling.
I was having a dificult time. I read an article from general
conference of 2008 that the apostle anderson gave about "we know
enough". as we face trials we sometimes start to question ourselves or
feel inadecuada (In my case I was thinking "I don´t know enough, how
can I do this?"). (I don´t know how to spell the word inadequet don´t
make fun of my english, it´s inadecuada in spanish). We don´t need a
perfect knowlede, and besides that each of us knows enough. God loves
us, thats knowing enough. 1 Ne:11 16-17. (16: And he said unto me:
Knowest thou the condescension of God? )(17: And I said unto him: I
know that he loveth his children; nevertheless, I do not know the
meaning of all things.) Nephi didn´t have a perfect knowledge of
everything, but he knew that god loves his children (all of us). He
knew enough.
Have a great week everyone. I will try to send pictures next week. I
send my love from Argentina...
Love, Elder Olson
