This week we had a bunch of baptisms planned, but then suddenly everything fell through. I feel like it was a big test of my faith. I knew I was going to have a baptism, I just didn´t know who. Then, we met a young man named Matheus that had been getting to know the church. After church, he decided to be baptized. He said he wanted a change in his life. We set the baptism for that night. Later, we went to bring him to church and it started pouring rain when we got off the bus. We arrived at the church soaked. It looked like he had already been baptized in the rain, we joked! It was a very special baptism with lots of members who supported him.

My new apartment is actually a small house. It´s a little bit older, but not scary haha. It has hardwood floors and a cellar underneath full of spiders and cockroaches it seems like. This is definitely the house with the most cockroaches so far, haha!

My shoes are worn out, but I´m on the search for new ones today. If I don´t find anything good here in the next few weeks I´ll let you know, but I´m sure I´ll find something good. There are a million shoe stores here!

Thanks for all the love and support you give me!

Love,

Elder Olsen
