Well yea its monday again.and here i am washing clothes and writing home. Not much news this week like the last, so it will be a little shorter letter home.
But yes last week was thanksgiving. i did have many things to be greatful for. And it definitely was a different experience to be away from home for the holiday. But i think it was a good warm up for Christmas. But it went well. Mexico really doesnt have it as a holiday here, but being along the border, they take traditions from us, and vis versa. but our ward mission leader invited us to his house to eat in the afternoon. got there around 4 and ate shortly after. then the rest of the day we visited new members and ward members, so it was a pretty chill day. they even cooked turkey. but all went well.
We still keep working here, and all the missionarys are looking forward to Christmas. but we still have one more month left. looking forward to talking with you also. BUT there are transfers this next monday, so i don´t know if i will be in this sector for christmas, or not. i won´t know until saturday. but we shall see.
I gave a talk in sacrament meeting sunday also. it went alright. about a 15 min talk. ANd i was the last speaker, which i learned that its not to fun to be the last speaker. but i talked about the atonement of christ. and it is a topic really hard to talk about, because there are a lot of scriptures about it, but in the words of Elder Holland, no human can FULLY understand the atonement of Christ, But i think it went well. I feel pretty good with my spanish speaking skills, but i still need to work on it a lot, but its coming.
Hope everything is good wherever you are reading this, just know that Jesus is the christ, our redemer, and savior, and there is no other name given which comes the salvation of man.
and like always,
everyone loves a missionary,
ELder Olsen
