FEBRUARY- WEEKS 49-52

FEBRUARY 23
One year.... WHAT?!?!?!

I refused to say i have one year... The time has gone by way toooooooo fast!! I LOVE my mission!!! I have learned, and changed a lot!! I'm never coming home!! Well... maybe to hold lil baby Lincoln.. but only for that! But that will have to wait. haha! Ive been praying for them and im glad to hear that he has turned!

Transfers are into 2 mondays.. I'm sure that ill have transfers.. i have like 5 months here! I love this ward, its my favorite!!! I have been accepted into many families here! Some of my greatest accomplishments are here too! I'm positive that hna Whisenant will train! Nothing is for sure but I would not doubt it at all! She is a fantastic missionary! 

We should have a baptism Saturday, Fredy Saenz de Viteri. He{s like 65 something years. He knows the church is true and has a strong testimony! His family are members and has waited for years for missionaries to ask him to be baptized and well his time has finally come! He is going to have interview tomorrow. Pray for him! 

Paul was confirmed Sunday! He was one of my first contacts and invest here! I always said that i will not leave this sector until he gets baptized, and it happened!! 

How are you doing mom? You never tell me about yourself! I love you lots and i am very grateful for the example you have set for me! 

Love

Hello!!!

I got the package and the cards!! THank you soo much!! I loved it! Me and Hna Green(one of the other sisters) enjoyed the fact that everything was my favorite color but just in different shades!! Im enjoying my new shoes, they fit perfectly! I think that the first shoes were a mircale for Hna Whisenant, she didnt have good walking shoes. She picked up the language really fast!!

Best part of the week was that Diana Peñaherrera went to the temple and we were able to go with her! I cried as i watched her do the baptisms for the dead! She is progressing fantasticly and it amazes me how strong her testimony is!!

Worst part of the week..... was that Paul couldn't come to church to get confirmed..... He did get baptized just not confirmed....

Leah is huge!!! I love it!! How lil baby licoln doing??? Is he turning? I pray for him and Leah, a lot! 

Keep working with the 15 yr old! Keep up the good work!

Love hna olsen!!

HOLA!

What im 20?!?!?! 

I had a great birth day! the day and night before i was sick but the sisters took really good care of me and i was able to be healthy for my bday! I had a fever and a sore body... and well im not sleep well at nights.. At the end of the day the fam Valverde threw a surprise bday party for me! I got an awesome captain america shirt taht says "Capitana Olsen" on the back! We had cake and my converts were there! It was soo sweet! I heard you guys celebrated my birthday without me at Red Robins?! What is this? I want some red robins! 

Pual is still looking forward to his baptism on the 14! Pray for him though he´s going through a really hard time! Gabriel, Luis, and Diana are doing great! If you could also pray for Richard that would be awesome because he needs help too.

With all my love!

Hola!!!

What im almost 20?!?!?!?!!!! Nope i refuse to accept that! 

We had a baptism!! Gabriel Avilez got baptized saturday! It was a fantastic service and he is really happy to be baptized!! 

I don't remenber if you guys remember Paul Lopez but ive been working with him for my whole entire time here. He´s going through some really hard times with his wife. We have been pushing really hard with baptism because we understand the blessings that are going to come from keeping this commandment and from receiving the Priesthood. we had a lesson about that yesterday and the spirit was so strong! The Spirit was yelling the 14 of feb in my head and my comp was speaking at the time and she stop at one point thought for a second and put that date with Paul! It was amazing experience, it confirmed the thought I had that I could not give up in him. Normally I drop people within 2 or 3 weeks if they are not progressing but Heavenly Father would not let me do it. He accepted the date for the 14 of feb!!!!! He will need a lot of help, if you could keep him and his family in your prayers that would help a lot!!

I have really grow to love this ward! I can feel the love from every member here! The Bishop wants you guys to know that I am well taken care of and you guys have no needed to worry about me! I have become his daughters! I dont want to leave! 

Thank you for all of your love and support!
