Hey
family and all you amazing other people,
This week was truly
amazing. I received Elder Araya, a tico (from Costa Rica) that speaks perfect
English. He is quite a fellow. He went on a student exchange program to
Sacramento California where he stayed with a Mormon family, the Morgans. There
he fell in love with the feeling of the Holy Ghost and returned to Costa Rica
to be baptized. He was baptized two years ago. One year later, his mother was
baptized. He LOVES Disney, high school musical, Glee, whichever other show that
no man would ever admit to liking. However, this kid rocks it!!! He is super-duper
fun and it is so hard to talk to him in one language. I always forget that
English was his second language and that he is not from the states. He has one
little brother, but he was kind of like the father of his little niece because
her mother sort of abandoned her so he spent all of his time with her. I am his
third companion. We are both in our second area though.
Well this week we
baptized Yenifer Chopen and Nahomi Chopen. They are sisters. Their whole family
came to the baptism AND to Church and they loved it! There are three more
baptisms waiting in this soon to be Eternal family. WOW! These girls are really
special. On Sunday in Elder's quorum, Raul, their father told everyone,
"Elder Olson is a witness that at first, I tried to put the brakes on my
daughters getting baptized, but I now know without a doubt that they only did
was is the absolute best for them.
I love you all a ton
load!!!! I also got the mini quadruple scriptures this week. They are super
light. I feel like I'm flying around Peronia now.
Oh also a lady let us
in to sing Families Can be Together Forever and in the middle her husband got
home and was super angry and was really rude to us, then as we were going to
leave, he came back and asked us to come in. He said, "As I walked from
you guys to the back, something beautiful happened. I felt a warm peace that
just took away all of my anger from this morning. I need to find out more about
your church. Tell me everything."
I love the mission. I
love the Lord.
I love you all too.
Sorry if this is really short.
