Week 21 San Gabriel

Happy Monday!!!!

Good afternooon, emailing a bit late because of P-day, we left in the morning to a place called Lomas. It's just a really high mountain that has this sweet Inca head on it. I sent pictures of it, it was a good time!
The area is doing pretty good, we are dying for people in the church again haha. We had 11 plans for people that said they'd go and only 1 showed up, and we didn't even plan for that one haha. But we are doing way good in new investigators we had 10 this week. The only problem is a lot of them won't progress because of either living with someone or just won't want to haha. We'll work hard with them still because we believe in miracles!

Elder Montes de Oca is doing way well too. A bit under pressure for the church plans but that's me too. I love the guy and appreciate his hard work and patience with me as a newbie haha

Is it really already getting hot over there, man the time is passing too fast haha. I noticed it's actually getting pretty chilly over here at night, which I'd never imagine being Lima and all haha. With the members we eat with it comes out of our 200$/month that we have. We pay our own Pensions but yes the money does come from the Church. We had a really good mission conference with Elder Montoya from the Seventy. He talked about some really good stuff. Basically the jist of it was that us as missionaries have a bunch of relations in our mission and we should do our best to keep in contact with all companions, converts, and some members that we meet. He talked about a lot of other stuff too, I'll have to bring some notes next week. We did get to see all the mission in one chapel. It was awesome because I saw Elders Gutierrez and Mozo there! And all of my buddies in Ayacucho, the only thing was the fact that we weren't allowed to talk to any of them haha. My Spanish is coming slowly, I can pretty much say whatever I want, sometimes I just can't understand people haha. Not sure if it's inability, can't hear well, or they don't speak well haha. I have been playing the piano every week so far in the mission haha. The Ward pulled a dozy though. They made me play All Creatures of our God and King. I made a valiant effort! I will be Skyping on Mother's day, and it's wierd that it's tranfer day. Poor people skyping on basically their last day of their mission haha.

Good to hear everything from you all, tell Ethan to shoot me a note though it's been a while since I've heard from my boy haha

That's my time this week, I love you all and pray for you individually! Thanks for your support and love!

Gracias por todo, les amo mucho,
Elder Olsen
