Carta de Elder Olson 11-6-2010

I feel like Jacob, when his prayer was answered Jacob 7:22. I have a
strong testimony of prayer, and there has been a great amount of
evidence that my prayers have been always answered. I was in the
streets, ending the night by opening the mouth and I had a prayer in
my heart asking to find someone that we could bless. We found a lady
smoking and she looked very sad, I started to talk to her and I found
out that she was feeling really depressed. At the end of our
conversation she said "That much of her sadness had left her". I don´t
know what I had said word for word, but I know the lord used me to
extend his love.
The mission continues to bless me, and I assure you all that I
couldn´t be happier here. I´m about to contact all the people I have
found in the phone book here with the last name Loyola, to find out if
I have relatives that are still here in San Juan.
Another transfer is about to end, time has never been so unreal for
me. Transfers are like days (They are 6 weeks). They just end,
constantly. Apparently the president says that I am going to stay here,
that it is assured that I am going to stay here. But my companion
Elder Linares will leave. I love this companion as my brother, we had
gotten along very well, and had worked well together.

That will be all the news I have for now

Love

Elder Olson

This week was incredible.

We were able to help our investigators progress, and many have
arrived at church. We witnessed a strong testimony of a converted
investigator, who has a baptismal date in December. Who came to know
the truth, because she did exactly what we invited her to do, and what
the book of Mormon invites. Her name is Monica Zavaleta, and other
investigators also witnessed her testimony that came to church. It was
incredible.
I feel so privileged being here. I wasn´t called here to be a
missionary by luck, with all my experiences that I have had up until
this moment, I am absolutely convinced that the Lord called me here
through the prophet. In this moment, I am keeping in touch with a
member that is helping me find the burial site of my great grandpa
that died here. I will send the photo when I find him.
Thank you for all your prayers, support, and love.

Love,
Elder Olson
