Hello Mom Dad and everyone,
Man well I read Connors letter and I would love to say unto
him how unfair he has a car and members that feed him and everything. But I did
like his testimony about how the new guy always gets burned hahahahaha. Here in
the zone Elder Head is one of the newest guys. And I have become really close
with the gringo ZL that we have in the zone. He is the one I got my suit made
with hahaha. And he was good friends with Elder Head. But now because we have
almost the same time with Elder Oveson who is the ZL. We have done division a
few times and Elder Head always gets stuck with the Latin ZL. It’s just funny
that the new guy always gets burned hahahahaha. And the whole Spanish thing
will come along no big deal. I mean look at me I’m doing just fine and I really
haven’t spoken English with my comps for the big majority of my mish so don’t
worry too much it will all come eventually.
But man a car. The area presidency of Central America just prohibited
bikes in all the Central American missions it sucks.
Well let’s see this week has been a very baggy week
hahahahaha. The cool thing about it all is that on Tuesday we got a call from
the bishop telling us that he had a reference for us and that he had put an
appointment with them for that same day. So we went up there and it ended being
a family of 10 people that lived in the same house. There was an older couple
that one of their sons is the head of security at the temple. They are really
positive. The guy’s father has a lot of really good questions. But it makes the
lessons really, really long. The 1st lesson, the restoration, lasted 2 hours
because the bishop answered a lot of questions. But it went really well and
they had told us that they were going to go to church with their son to his
ward. But on Sunday just before the bus took off, the whole family showed up to
go to church. Man I wanted to do a back flip when they were all on the bus.
Then just before the sacrament meeting ended, their son showed up to help us
out. And he sat through the inv class with us and helped his parents understand
the class a little bit better. I have a lot of faith that the whole family will
get baptized it has been an awesome experience with them so far.
Then on Thursday we had my finally zone conference. So that
means it was my turn with like 7 other missionaries to give our finally
testimonies. So I went like 6. And everything was just too quiet and no one had
made a joke. And then it came to my turn. So I go to start talking about that
it had been a long time to finally get to this moment. And while everyone
thought that I was going to say that it was time to go home. I said that I had
finally got to come to Tegus hahahahaha. But it was really good. I think mine
went the longest. But it was a great conference. Pres like always talked about
repentance. It was really good. And this was the first time I had put on my new
suit. And cuz I got it with Elder Oveson we put each others coats on each other
to be super gentlemen hahahahaha. But it was really good. And to make us just
look even more goofy. Just to remember we got the same suit and the same style.
Sis Hernandez needed 2 volunteers in her class. So Elder Oveson and I went up there in front of
the 2 other elder that were going up there. And when we were sitting there
waiting for the conference she had also mentioned to the both of us that we
looked very handsome. It was sooooo awesome.
Man so after the conference we went to Wendy’s to go get
frosties. And it started raining. Then the Zl’s asked me and Elder Head to go
help them do divisions in their area. So we went over to their house to drop
our stuff off and that’s when it started to rain too hard that we didn’t leave
to do anything. And so we need up staying the night there at the Zl’s house. Tell
Connor that at least he has an air mattress. Elder Head got stuck sleeping on
the hard tile floor that night.
So what we came to find out the night we stayed at the Zl’s house
like 2 blocks from our house there was a drive by shooting and they killed a
lawyer that lived by our house. They passed by killing the guy at about 830 or
9 at night. When we found that out man I really feel like the Lord was really
protecting us that night. It was sooo amazing cuz if we would have been in the
area we would have passed right by there right as those guys passed by with the
guns. Man did we luck out I feel sooooo blessed.
Well it’s been a really good week. But man I can’t wait to
go home. But I’m still doing great. Have a great week love you guys
Elder Spencer Olsen
