How was your week? It was long because there
were a lot of conferences and my companion’s birthday. First on Tuesday we have
district meeting. Wednesday Zone conference, Friday we ate with a family from
San Pedro El Carmen and it was really fun. They bought him a cake, we had tried
to plan it behind his back but at the last moment he found out. You look thrilled
in the picture, is that at Pizza Hut?
Yes it’s at Pizza Hut, the nicest sit down restaurant in
Choloma. I’m sure that Madi wants a sombrero like this one.
Did you have any baptisms? No we didn’t have
any baptisms it is hard because the one family is just confused because of
their own traditions and they haven’t received an answer from God. After some
more time they will be ready.
Tell is something funny that happened this
week. Well we have been dealing with many members this week, were loosing more
and more leadership every week. We talked with our relief society president and
she wants to be taken out, also the young men’s president got a job and is
working on Sundays sometimes. We have had members this week, when we were
talking about them going to the temple, tell us they haven’t gone because they
don’t think that drinking coffee is a sin, even if they don’t drink it. And she
will admit it causes harm but it’s not a sin. It’s hard because many of the
member’s here don’t understand simple logic and they are just not smart with
many things. It was frustrating to see that her stubbornness is keeping her
from the temple.
What did you do for p-day? Today we hiked to
the waterfalls again and we went with some other elders we got there and back
in good time and well its something cheap that we could do because we are
almost all out of money. My companion found
that crab in a small pool of water.
How are you feeling? I feel good for the most
part. I have some big rashes on my legs and thighs and they burn a lot, they
are just getting worse. I am putting some ointment on them that the mission
gives us in our first aid kits, we will see if it helps, its not meant for it
but it seems to help a little. It’s called NEOBOL. I think it is a fungus and some from heat. It has been a very hot week at one time it
got to 104 with 100 percent humidity this day we didn’t do to much we spent a
lot of time in the little stores buying water and we were wondering what had
happened but it was just so hot. In September the weather should start to cool
right? I think and hope
so.
What is your favorite food? My favorite food
right now is French fries because that’s what I like to eat. I get a to-go box
full of them for 30 limps and it comes with a ton of sauces. What do you usually eat for breakfast? I
almost always eat cereal for breakfast; sometimes I have semitas (These small, sweet loaves have a
texture similar to that of Kaiser rolls) and juice it all depends
on the day.
Do you have a favorite scripture right now? I
like this scripture 1 Corinthian’s 13:11 which says " When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." I found this when I was looking
for a scripture for my talk that I gave this Sunday. I gave a good 15-minute
talk, and I had less than 1 page of notes.
I’m getting pretty good at
talking, but I still don’t like it because I have to dedicate some time to look
for some good scriptures.
How is your companionship going?
Our companionship is good. We
went to SPS for the mission conference, where we heard from Russell M Nelson, who
was in Tegucigalpa.
Do you know of any elders going to BYU next fall so you could have a
roommate that you know? Or you could go
to USU and stay at home. No BYU sounds
better but which dorms are the best?
Well I am out if time but it has been good to talk with you all and
tell Joan hi. Love you all and have a good week. Next week send me a picture of
the curbing and the yard I would love to see it.
Love you all. From Elder Olsen
