Hey family!!!!
I love you all so
much!
This week we have
changes. Hermano De Leon becomes Wily once again and will be sent all
the way to his home . . . about half a mile away.
I will be staying here
in Peronia and I will be receiving Elder Araya from Costa Rica.
This week was very
special. Here is an excerpt from my letter to President Caffaro:
"It was evident
after reading your letter that there was a fecha de compromiso in our area. As
it came down to it, the only eligible investigator was Nahomy Urisandy. On
Friday, we went to teach her along with her two sisters. During the lesson,
Nahomy said, "I want to follow Jesus Christ and I want to show my Heavenly
Father that I love him, but I DO NOT want to be baptized." Your words came
to my mind "Cada compañerismo ponga una fecha de compromiso esta semana.
Sin faltar.
Tengan la fe, diligencia, la obediencia con exactitud y verán milagros. Les
prometo!" I wanted to say something directed by the spirit but just
profound as can be to change her, but as I offered a prayer of faith, I felt to
keep silent. After a moment the member shared a marvelous experience and after,
my companion spoke. The room FILLED with the spirit. As it came my turn to
speak, my eyes filled with tears. She excitedly accepted the invitation to
pray. On Saturday her whole family went to hear Elder Cook. On Sunday, we asked
if she prayed and how she felt, and she said, "I received my answer. I
want to be baptized this Saturday with my sister."

Thank you for having
the faith in the Lord to challenge us to this. The Lord has done a great work
here."
I used to want to be
so righteous that angels would visit me, but the Lord teaches us that a wise
man walks by faith. In Faith is POWER. We need to keep the faith and have more.
Our faith manifests itself within our actions. ACT exactly according to what
the Lord has asked and commanded. Worry about the things of the Lord afterwards
and you will see the miracles!!!!!
This mission is so
special. There is no substitute for the mission. I love you all so much!!!!
Read the
scriptures!!!!! They are so special for YOU!!!! But don't just read to read.
Set apart a time to STUDY!!!!! Say a prayer before and dedicate the time
towards being God's investigator so that the Spirit can teach you. You will not
want to stop.
Find your whisper.
Find your unquenchable thirst. . . for the Word of God.
Love,
Elder Olson
