Week 61 Chorrillos

Happy Monday!!

Chorrillos is pretty sweet.  There are some houses that are even richer than some of the houses by us haha.  There is one spot in our area called La Encantada.  It's an area of just pure mansions.  Haven't been yet but will go next week.  There is a member family in our ward that are from Utah.  The Madsen family.  Super interesting, Mark, the dad, is one of President Nelson's grandchildren.  So rich he can go anywhere in the world with his business and live haha.  He is the only one that speaks Spanish in the family, the rest are learning.  He is one of the councilors in the Young Mens I think haha, super funny.

Question time, Sunday was great, I know about half of the Ward leadership.  The Bishopric is a little tricky.  Bishop Pachari works in Ica, about 5-6 hours from here.  He is out of town from Monday to Saturday.  We will have to work with the councilors for the most part.  I'm playing the piano again and...THE PIANO HAS PEDALS!!!  Imagine 6 months of playing a piano without pedals and sitting down and being able to play with pedals. Incredible.  I'm getting used to the whole area organization.  It's kinda different from Chincha haha.   We have to travel via bus again instead of mototaxi and colectivos (not sure if you know about them, in the south they use colectivos, basically routed taxis that are super cheap.)

It's been a perfect week.   I'm getting to the hang of things here so I can start helping my companion a bit haha.  He was kinda stressed because he'd only had one transfer when I got here so he was still getting used to the area.  Oh speaking of which, Elder Arreaga is a mechanic, we will have to bring him to the States so he can work on the truck hahaha.
Thanks for the letters, I love you!!   Keep being the awesomest or something like that!!


Sigan siendo lo maximo,
Elder Olsen
