March 20, 2017 Don't worry, be happy now. Barberena, Cuilapa 6

Dear Family,

First off, if you know where the subject title is from, you'll know all the memories that were passing through my head this week. 

Well Barberena has changes !!!!!! I am going to a faraway land of Barbie-Queen.  . . . Barberena. I'm staying. Elder Alegria is leaving though. I thought I would be able to stay with him until he died. (He is finishing his mission this next change). Anyway, He has been my very best friend in the mission for this 
... a guy just came up to us and contacted us saying that one time his friend invited the elders but they never came. . . .awesome!!
A seventy visited us a couple months ago and said if we were exactly obedient and worked diligently, they would find us.  . . . neat.
Anyway, Elder Alegria is going to be the new assistant to the President. I will be receiving two companions. Elder Monson, from my same district and Elder Beltran, my tech master buddy from Mexico. It is going to be so much fun!!!!! 
My buddy elder Hansen is leaving the zone. =( He is awesome. We are going to go farm it up later in Idaho. 
We did divisions every single day this week. Basically it was just a high five to my comp and off to another area every morning. It was super fun, but we are both dead tired. The Lord is showing His hand. Satan is attacking like never before, but he only has the power we allow him to. I will not back down from his petty shows of his miniscule power. 
There is not worry. Only be happy now. Worrying doesn't help anyone. It never makes a situation better. Just smile and live as though watching the movie of your own grand success story. Already knowing that you will win in the end. 
In this life we generally get what we want.  . . . that comes entailed with the question: How much do you want it?
Meditate over that before shutting the thinking box. Think about what you want. How much have you shown how much you want it. What more would someone do that wants it more than you. If you REALLY want something, you will get it. 
I love the mission. I love the Book of Mormon. If any of you are wondering whether you ought to go on the mission. stop wondering. just say yes and ponder over all of your wonderful experiences and the eternal innumerable blessings afterwards. If I had not gone on the mission. I would be NOTHING. Compared to who I am and what I have obtained already, there wouldn't be sense to go on living on such a low level. God has better plans for us. 
Read Isaiah 55.
Love you all.
-Elder Olson

Oh!!! I worked in Nueva Santa Rosa on Wednesday and I visited Ofelia. WOOHOOO!!!!!
