Carta de Elder Olson 4-5-2010

San juan
I´m in a different province as of wednesday. I left Bowen! I was only there 2 transfers (3 months). I will miss that area and the people, I will send some pictures of my last moments there. My new companion is Elder Rios, he is from the province Guguy, I don´t know how it´s spelled. It´s in Argentina. He is awesome, we are co companions. He is a month younger than I am. He is a great missionary, he likes to work like I do.
San Juan is known for being really hot, suposedly it had been 45 grados, which is like 115 degrees (around there). But now it´s lowering tempature. If I stay here in san juan for winter, I won´t really feel any cold. Except today (4-5-2010) it´s gotten very cold for some reason. The weather is really strange. These last 3 days have been cold. Like winter cold. Suposedly that doesn´t really happen here ussually.
Well the people here are really nice, but they lie a lot about their addresses. It´s funny when you tell them to repeat their address and they give you a different address. The people here are known to be nicer.
This general conference we had was fantastic. I really enjoyed the talk about pacience that Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf gave. We learn the most when we are waiting... I know that is true. I also loved the talk that Elder David A, Bednar gave. About how we must constantly bare testimony, and read and talk about the scriptures to the youth so that we can see early signs. I hope all of you enjoyed conference, It is such an edifying experience.
I´m going to send you some pictures... Take care everyone.
Love, Elder Olson
