So monday we went and taught Jose Peixoto again and we were able to read the book of mormon with him and his wife. We will start on their marriage documents soon.
Tuesday:
We had district meeting and now we have another elder in our district who is from Stockton California. Super cool yes? Afterwards we went and visited Jonas, who isnt showing much of a desire to be baptized and continue meeting with us. He sees us more of friends than missionaries. We are going to stop visting him for a time and maybe go back and visit him again in the future.
We also visited Mery and Ismael this night and reviewed the baptismal questions with them in preparation for their baptism.
Wenesday:
We went to the temple today and didnt end up getting to our lunch appointment until 2:00. When we got home it was about 3:30ish. My district leader told me to rest my knee for the day and not work so that it could better heal. So I spent the day reading Jesus the Christ.
Thursday:
We went and spent the day going out to contact references that we had recieved. The day ended with the last work and the glory film of our 3 part film series at the church.
Friday:
I spent the day on a division with Elder S. Matos because he had to go for an exam at the hospital and I had to get the results of my MRI. We got home and started to work in his area and then a little in mine. We ended the day with a visit to a less active family in his area which I was very much grateful for because they gave us dinner which we dont usually eat.
Saturday:
It was a normal day. We ate lunch and went out to work. No one showed up to the english class which was sad but we did teach Camila who is a reference from a member in our ward. She will be baptized this Sunday. Afterwards we passed by the party of Paulo a young man in the ward who is always going out and visiting people with us
The best part of the whole day was the baptism of Mery and Ismael. It was absolutely beautiful. Sergio Ismael´s brother was the one to baptized them and the spirit was very strong. I could feel how God loves that family. Afterwards we had cake and soda (I have given up on drinking soda because its very sugary.)
Sunday:
We had church and went and visited Joana an oldery woman who was baptized in march. As we were walking to her house a man who was sitting down tried grabbing my book of mormon. At first I thought that he was drunk but I sat down to talk with him all the same. Turns out that he wasnt drunk. He was intereseted in the book of mormon and so I taught him a little about it and will return to his house this week to teach him more.
That was my week.
Smile!
Elder Olsen
