What a week.
I don´t even have a second too even think, it´s been quick, the week. It flew away. I never found myself pushing myself so hard in my life. I have to adjust to a latin companion, he is awesome, but man all the slang is hard to learn. But i´m catching up. I´m excited to better my spanish even more. My companion is very smart with defending himself when people contradict us, He is teaching me key doctrine. So I have a better defense... and not only that, things just make more sense as I learn, for example, the role and purpose of the book of mormong. Isiah 29:11,12,20.
The people here are really nice, we found a family that is looking for a place to hear the word of god, but without guitars and drums. They told us that, and it seems they are looking for the church, we are teaching them lately.. Family arguella, a couple with a daughter. The little kids here are hilarious here, and crazy. In our church meeting on sunday (yesterday), they would not stop taking our name tags, and whatever they could grab. And they scream so much, I can say I am learning to be patient.
I have had some hard moments this week, In the book of mormon 2 Ne 2:2 Says Afflictions are for our gain. The advice was written, and it was originally for Jacob, one of the sons of Lehi. But I know that it was written to be advice for all of us. I have had some doubts in my mission, of myself. I can´t stay positive 24/7 all the time but I do my best, some results are just so hard to take. But it´s for our own good... I know that if we put our thoughts in the lord, our example, we can feel and know his love and remember what he did for us. The way is prepared because of him. I have had moments of relief as I directed my thoughts to the Lord.
I hope everyone is doing well, I miss you all. Take care.
Love,
Elder Olson
