Buen Dia
Wow this week was super difficult, but also super amazing. We had a problem with our new converts They WENT TO A EVANGELISTS church and they were super confused about alot of the doctrine. well just the two girls, just Yoselin and rosalia. Alejandro And his mom lidia are super strong, alejandro told us that the pastor started attacking with telling him his church was bad and all that stuff he said he did not know what to do so just went home and prayed and he said I know this is the only true church. and his mom who was the biggest evangelist ever, is now just always blowing them up always just saying all they do is scream and shout but do not have it in there heart... and she still is not a member. but anyway yoselin and rosalia were super confused they both have boyfriends that are from other churches so they just feel super confused and they are always questioning them saying they dont know what the bible says... we tried to just tell them to just share there testimony but they wanted scriptures so we started explaining it all to them and they got super excited we showed them all the references of the book of mormon in the bible and she is just determined to convert her boyfriend it was awesome...Other than that the zone is not doing so well i worry alot i am doing my best to just be an example but sometimes i just to not know what to do, or how to get them excited pray that i can do better.
Also this week we had a first activity with the branch and there was more investigators than there was members. and all the members were an hour late..... yeah welcome to bolivia. i am pretty stoked to baptize all of missori when i get back....
but sunday i asked the branch president to give us some time... and we gave it to them super hard.... i创m talking my comp just straight up told them they were not worthy to take the sacrement without being better members of the church. then i got up and gave them alot more. it was good and ofcourse we did it with increased love at the end just as dyc tells us alot of people were alot more excited and i am sure there was some repenting going along.
Love my mission it is amazing. the hardest thing i have ever done in my entire life. sometimes i lose my temper and want to just beat some one up but it is not the way to do it. i am always striving to strengthen my relactionship with Christ and always remember him. it helps alot.
We are in the truth. there is no other path. Never forget what it means to be a Olsen, and more important A member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
We are different.. So be proud of it.
