Dear mom and everyone,

Ya so about my comp he ugh... just got alot more mad about everythoing we dont talk much let alone really do

anything. im trying my bestanything. im trying my best.lets see on the up´side we help a lady get over her coffee addiction and she is getting baptized this saturday along with another girl who we found last tuesday. the girl we found on tuesday she basaccly asked us to get baptized and asked if it was an issue that she was baptized in the catholic church... i almost laughed at her. but they are way great people so this week should be pretty good.

on tuesday we had ward council and after they invited us to pizza hut it was alot of fun because they all really like me out here so they all want to help me and dont know what my comps deal is.

oh hey so i got my divorce refund back. it was 2800 limps almost 150 bucks but for right now im saving it untill their is an emergency or something really cool that i want haha. not much up here in danli everything that is cool that i want is in the south so i really want to go back there.

well hopefully this week goes a little bit better, im really trying to do my best in staying obedient and helping my comp also to be. i hope everything is going good for everyone.

hey mom and everyone

this week was pretty good. we started talking to the stake president out here in danli and president hernandez about opening the branch out here. we have about 7 investigators out there and already have like 7 investigators out there and reactivated like 5 people so the work is going really well out there. im here with elder cizmas again and at changes the zls reorginized the districs. I wasn't put in cizmas area.  My comp is interesting. I didnt think that some one could be more proud than i was but wow did he prove me wrong. i do love the kid though.

 

we are going to have another baptism this week with an women named paula. she is about 49 or so she has a guy that is her husband that he doenst even live there he jsut shows up to do somethings and leaves but we convinced her to kinda drop his so she did and she is getting baptized this saturday and she wants me to comfirm her. so it should be a pretty good week.

 

i have no idea what you want to know about my area. i will let you know this i want to go back to monjaras!!! its not as fun here as it is out there. my area like i said looks like nothern arizona a little cool in the morning warms up in the afternoon and gets cold at night. its starting to get into the rainy season. it hasnt hit bad yet but its really threataning to come down hard.

 

so for mothers day ya it should work the same way i already have the pgone number im using and im going to use a members phone again. they what minutes work here are like pay as you go and i already have a ton of minutes and going to buy more haha. i should only spend like 10 bucks on calling you guys. i have a count down in my agenda. currently it is 6 oclock so i dont know what that means for you guys i think im 2 hours ahead of you guys im not sure

 

things are getting better out here. but i still wish i was in the south im going to ask presisdent for my next change to be back to the south. i love you guys stay strong tell everyone that im doing great. and tell sister lyons thak you for the monthly letter and the activity days girls too they are awesome haha.

 

love you guys

potos: i have none it was a boroing week

Hey mom and everyone,

First off, i told you if i took out mony i would take out alot. i took out 900 limps and still have 500 of that. and i used it for the divoce family. what had happend was is elder carter paid for the other half of the lawyer which was 1500 limps and another 300 for lanny ot go to langue to take a paper she needs for the divorce. and i have been talkinbg with the assistance about it and they are going to reemborde everything. which will be 2500 limps like 125 bucks so calm down about the money.

 

well anyway, did dad give you a blessing that always seems to work out here. but thats way crazy atleaste you are keeping me updated on everything. shoot this week went really pretty well. we went to a new part of my area this last week. the part we went to is kinda far away from my actual area. we have to take a bus like 35 to 40 minutes to get there. so what we decided to do is in ward council we talked about opening a little branch out there because there is like 40 members out the that dont go just because the building is so far away. the ward really like that because the stake is trying to split and they new more people to come to church so they really liked our idea. we had like 5 inactive members at church on sunday it was so awesome i cant even imagine how many would come if we did some thing for them out there.

 

my comps name is elder sotelo. he is from the mission nicaragua south mission and i dont remember where taylor served. my zls always mtell how pacient i am with him haha. i think its weird.

 

the one thing about this ward and stake is that they give us things to do that arent under our resposibity to do. and yesterday in ward council everyone started fighting and trying to trough the fault of eveything on everyone else. and they asked me questions all i said was no entender. i didnt want to deal with their issuses they need to figure out.

 

i want to go back to monjaras. i miss it so much. i miss all the friends i have out there. im starting to fell a little more comfortable out here but its hard we visit like the same 5 members all week long so when people give us refrences and say they live next to some member i have no idea where they like and on top of that my comp doesnt let me talk. i during lessons have to like force my way in to talk to the people and then when i do say something my comp always jusmps over and asked the questions like 6 different ways and confuse the people that we are teaching. i like my comp as a person but to teach with him it drives me insane.

 

so hopefully this week gets a little better. every week does. i hope everything gets good for you guys out there i really cant wait to call you guys. i have a count down in my agenda for everyday today is 20 tomorrow will be 19 im so pumped i talked and think about it everyday haha.

 

love you guys,

Elder Spencer Olsen
