HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYOOOO ¿WHATSSSSSSSSSSSSSS NEW?
Hahahahhaha I would not be me if I did not have awesome introductions.
This
week was another week!! I had my first zone conference so that was
cool! The topic was how we can edify the church...I understood a bit, but
not as much as I would have liked. I like anything to do with the zone
though because it's a time for me to just talk to Elder Mcdermott, Elder
Thomas, and Elder Tingey. Basically it's my "OMG PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY SPEAK
ENGLISH" time hahaha But yeah we just listened to President and Hermana
Pricoli....the assistants....had practices annnnnnnnnnnnd ate
PIZZZZZZZZZZZZZA!!!!! NOM NOM NOM!! At the beginning Elder Mcdermott
gave me my small package and in the middle of the conference Sister
Pricoli called me up for my big package....I sat down and was looking at
it when Elder Thomas was like "Elder Olsen look" he was pointing to
where all the sisters were sitting and they were all looking at me with
their pinkys up (it means they think I am rich hahahahahhaah) But yeah I love my blanket...Elder Zaugg has a pillowcase with the same
fabric....I remember that because I wanted it!! My blanket is soooo rad...haha thanks Mom I love it!!!!
Some
interesting things went down with Pasqual......basically we just need to
teach a few more commandments and he will be down with all the pre
baptism lessons!! BUUUUUUUUUUT he totally got kicked out of his
house....Elder Chaiña let him sleep on our porch (I don't think that is
allowed). Elder Chaiña stayed out there with him for a little
while......he woke me up when he came back in and it was one in
morning. I WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MADDDD!!! He ended finding a house
the next day, but he asked Elder Chaiña for money.....who asked
me for money and I was like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" It says right there in the
mission manual that our money is sacred....I am totally down to help Pasqual find a job and be able to pay for his house himself though!!
Blanca
is not progressing at all....we went over there and her daughter was
like "my mom is not home" but her grandaughter was screaming "my
grandmom is home....my grandmom is home" and like kids do not
lie......so that is no bueno!! BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT we found a new
investigator on Saturday...her
name is Allison she just stopped us and was like "hey what church are
you guys from" so yeah we taught her a little bit about the Sabbath day
cause she thinks it's Saturday xD But yeah she's 18 and has a ton of potential. We found her Saturday night and she came to church on Sunday morning, soooooooo yeah we are meeting with her tonight so I hope that goes well.
But
yeah other than that nothing too interesting went down....Elder
Mcdermott and Flores visited us one day...and I sat and ranted to Elder
Mcdermott about how I cannot speak Spanish...he was telling me about
how he struggles!!! He also told us that we have divisions this Wednesday! I AM STTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOO
Ohhhhh
another interesting thing....do you guys remember how I wrote about
Hermana Coronel wanting a tie....yeah well the sisters bought me and
Elder Chaiña each a tie to wear to zone conferences.....it was kinda
weird but I like my new fish tie xD
Buuuuut yeah I have
been really struggling with understanding my new culture....people here
are so different and have such difficult lives!! When I first got my
patriarchal blessing it totally turned me off from a mission but now I see exactly why it says what it says......I do not know why Heavenly Father wants me to help them....but I do know he does!! It's
hard....missions are soooo hard, like you think you know how hard it is
before you leave, but you just do not!!! I am learning to trust my Heavenly Father.....through the good.......and the awful!! It is hard
but it is so important for us to learn how to have a good relationship
with him.....and to try to understand his plan for us! However, the way
will not always be clear.....a big part of faith is action! He should
not have to smack us with the Holy Ghost and answers all the time for us
to act in faith. If you are trying to do what you think he would
want for you at all times he will not lead you astray....I promise!! So
that is this weeks challenge.....ACT!!! I wanna hear about how it
goes....it's a little vague so be creative with it.....you
caaaaaaaaaaaaan doooooooooooooooooo ittttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!
LOOOVE YOU TONS!!
ELDER OLSEN
This is the only picture I have!! Study sesh with the new blanket....and because I know I am gonna get questions about this, Gatorade is the same
but with less flavoring so its not as good....and Cheese Tris are
literally Cheetos...with less flavoring so they taste the same for a
minute and they turn into corn puffs!!! We have Cheetos too (pronounced
Cheh tos) but they are basically just cheese balls.....with less
flavoring so they don't taste as good xD
(I'm mostly putting this on the blog so that I can have it to remember! And to toot my own horn because Garrett says I need a trophy. Oh, one more thing that I want to write down so I can remember! Dane and I find out the gender of our baby this week and so I told Garrett I was sorry that my letter was so full of baby stuff and he wrote back "Well the baby is kinda important....it's for sure a girl....calling it!" So there's his vote, we will see!!)
