Wow. Nothing happened
this week.
NOT!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!
Okay, well to put it
in short, I have had 4 companionships this week and changed areas (but now I'm
back), and I was kind of zone leader but now I'm not again, and my new
companion is not an Elder.
I had two companions
who had to leave the mission.
Then I moved up to
Jerusalen with the Zone Leaders and this was our trio. My new companions were
Elder Jensen from Syracuse Utah and Elder Vasquez from Panama. It was super
amazing and we saw absolute miracles in finding people just waiting for the
Gospel. On Friday, President Caffaro called me to see how I was doing and that
he was proud of me. He also said nothing was my fault. Then he asked me if by
chance there were any young adults preparing to serve missions.
WILY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wily Guadalupe De Leon
is a 20 year old humble amazing kid (recent convert). He popped right into my
mind the second President asked me. We called all around as fast as we could
and President Caffaro even called Salt Lake City to ask permission, but the
arrangements were made.
On Saturday night, I
moved back down to Peronia and Hermano De Leon came to sleep there with me to
start his mini-mission (He doesn't have the Melquesidek Priesthood yet, but
we're working on it). He is so innocent and pure. I love this kid. Well,
President visited our ward this Sunday and brought Hermano De Leon white
shirts, ties, mission supplies, and a ton of love.
President told me I
should tell you guys that this has never been done before in Guatemala. How
Fun!!!!!! So I'm technically a trainer with my first kid!!!!!!! He just wants
to work and learn and everything. He was born and raised in Peten, Guatemala
out in a village in the mountains in the pure jungle. There, there are monkeys
and toucans and parrots that just live wild in their village and all around.
Just about a year ago, he moved here and was quickly baptized.
Yesterday, as we
opened our door after studies, we saw our neighbors (a couple with their kids)
sitting outside. I decided we'd contact them to get some experience for my
companion. GOLD!!!!!! They have been waiting for us. They love the message and
already have a baptismal date. The miracles are real. We are going to search
for them with all our heart, might, mind, and strength.
But other than that,
nothing much really happened. ;)
I am so excited!!!!!!
Annamarie, hey.
(So weird)
Love,
Elder Olson
