Gunner is getting married????? ( he is just doin whatev!!)
hah i cant believe he is getting married before steven that is so good. and no i have not gotten any of the letters or anything and i dont have an address. all the stuff just gets sent to puerto suarez and we go and pick it up at the TAM. dont really know how it works but whatever you guys think will work the best.

anyway this week was super long my comp was "sick" for two days straight.. man it was hard to sit in the house all day when we have so many fantastic people to teach. right now we are teaching 3 women maria 50, diana 22, mariolli 18 they all love me haha diana even tried to kiss me the other day (must be my olsen charm) but i felt bad because i didnt know what to do or what to say so i just kinda jumped back and was like i´m sorry i cant, i didnt know how to explain it and she was super emberressed and felt way bad. but my comp cleared it up and explained that as missionaries we have rules and such, but it was pretty funny.

other than that we have found lots of new investigators, i dont know how long i am going to be here so i am trying to change my attitude of how i work. i used to always just think about me baptizing but most of these people i am meeting i am realizing i have to prepare them to be baptized it doesnt matter who does it i gotta always work like there is no tomorrow.. that was the problem with my first comp he kinda died out and didnt want to work his last three weeks because he could not baptize them. i dont wanna be like that.

other than that how is the family, did dad take coop the letter i just wanna know how he is doing? how is steve? how is mike? is he really dating a columbian?? HAHA that is pretty cool. everyone here says that after the mission i need to go to brazil to find my whife haha so who knows maybe i will learn portugese ha

anyway i am doing better i had some rough spots with my comp but i am really tryingg to just see the good in everyone i meet, i try to study ch 6 of pmg for 10 minutes every night it is helping alot helps remind me of who i am representing and who i need to be worthy to represent.. Big responsibility.
anyway much love
Elder Olsen
