Elder Olson in Mendoza Argentina

        I don´t know why, but I don´t realize that this is my last month. I´m
really sad about it because the mission has done so much good to my
life. We are teaching so many people, and one of the which is really
wanting to get sealed to her family in the temple already. She already
has an amazing testimony, her name is Mariela Perez.
        Written deep within my heart, engraved permanently is the knowledge
that God lives, and his Son, our redeemer lives. He has rescued us
from the punishments of sin through his own blood. I was really
pondering about the scriptures in Mosiah 2:21-24 and it penetrated me.
It made me realize how much more in debt I am in with the Lord, and
even if we do everything we can to serve Him, we are still
unprofitable servants. We are always going to be in debt with Him.


Even though I served this mission, I´m still an unprofitable servant.
So great is His mercy, to allow us to live again through Him, and have
place in the kingdom of God.



Mosiah 2:21 "I say unto you that if ye should serve him who has
created you from the beginning, and is preserving you from day to day,
by lending you breath, that ye may live and move and do according to
your own will, and even supporting you from one moment to another—I
say, if ye should serve him with all your whole souls yet ye would be
unprofitable servants."

Mosiah 2:23 "And now, in the first place, he hath created you, and
granted unto you your lives, for which ye are indebted unto him."

Mosiah 2:24 "And secondly, he doth require that ye should do as he
hath commanded you; for which if ye do, he doth immediately bless you;
and therefore he hath paid you. And ye are still indebted unto him,
and are, and will be, forever and ever; therefore, of what have ye to
boast?"

Moisah 2:25 "And now I ask, can ye say aught of yourselves? I answer
you, Nay. Ye cannot say that ye are even as much as the dust of the
earth; yet ye were created of the dust of the earth; but behold, it
belongeth to him who created you."

I love you,
