We had transfers this week and that is why my P-day is today. When we have transfers P-day will be on Tuesday, all the rest, just Monday. Transfers went well, I will remain in Ayacucho as the area director and being trained by Elder Mozo. I love Elder Mozo, he is way funny haha. He is from Trujillo, Peru and will be finishing up my training. I have had the opportunity of directing our area this week, I was not really expecting it to be pretty tough but it is what it is haha! I know my area really well, I just need to work on knowing my investigators more personally because when I knock on the door, I'm the only one that knows them and have to talk to them. But it is going really well, I'm loving this area!
We had a good week, we have done a lot of good things around
here! I had the opportunity of teaching a piano class! Tell Stacie I
know now that is a lot harder than it looks haha. We met with some
families in the area this week, one of them was the
Alanya Flores family. They are good people, they have 3 active members
in their family, a recent convert, and an investigator. It is fun to see
them progress together. I love all the families in this ward, they are
so good to the missionaries. I made
pancakes with them with all of the substituted ingredients that come
with it haha. I don't wanna be prideful, but they were pretty delicious,
I gotta tell ya! We also had a bunch of ward activities this week. We
had a ward party on Friday that was way fun,
all the missionaries prepared games for everyone to play. Before it
started me and my comp were just shooting hoops with the bishop outside
haha, that was way fun. On Saturday we had an Elders Quorum activity,
we invited a few of our investigators to play
soccer and eat something with them. The bishop approved the food so we
got to eat with them, we got to eat an amazing steak and potatoes, I
hadn't had something like that and it was amazing haha.
Anyways how are you all doing!? It's good to see you guys were
all good from last week. It's fun to see how everything is going back
at home. The baptism this week went well as planned, Alex was baptized
by me and Danny by Elder Gutierrez. The next
day they were both confirmed by vice versa. I haven't given a blessing
of healing or comfort, but I might on Thursday, a sister in another area
needs one because she has cancer and the sisters in the other area
asked if we could do it. I have been seeing a
lot of miracles these past few days in helping people change their lives
and be blessed by the gospel. It is truly an opportunity to see these
miracles in these humble people. About the sister that's going to Lima
West, in our mission the sisters wear dresses
as well as the sister in the CCM going to the same mission, ask her
about my companion in the CCM when she gets there too. Sister Coke and
Elder Child. And yes, I have eaten guinea pig, and it is delicious.
Well not too much time this week I had to download a couple of pictures and print off some papers, until next week!
con amor,
Elder Olsen
PS you can just send it to the office, it'll be easier that way.
I'll probably be getting that package on thursday with the district
meeting. Have a good one!
