Yesterday I gave a talk in Sacrament Meeting, I talked about the Sons of Mosiah and how they were consecrated missionaries who understood the “Why” and had a real desire to share the gospel.

“Now they were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish; yea, even the very thoughts that any soul should endure endless torment did cause them to quake and tremble.” (Mosiah 28:3)

After church we brought 5 more souls to Christ! Alifer, Alanes, Alexandra, Bruno, and William. The first three are blondes. They all like me a lot because I´m blonde just like them, haha!  They call me Elder Loirinho (Elder Little Blonde). Bruno and William are two sons in a family we have been teaching. Their parents can´t be baptized yet because they aren´t married; but, Elder A. Oliveira will help them get married this week so they can be baptized. They are a super elect family.

This morning our Ward Mission Leader took us on a hike to a little waterfall. Jared is definitely the best ward mission leader that I have ever had, haha! He is our age and got back from his mission not too long ago. He is already working on getting his documents together to go to the U.S.!

Yesterday, I received a transfer call and found out I would be going to Taipas, which is a huge favela in the capital. But… a few minutes ago I received another call and am being emergency transferred to another city, which is the BIGGEST FAVELA IN OUR MISSION!!! My companion will be Elder Sukhee, an American.

Thanks for all the prayers. I´ll need a few extra in my new area!

Love, Elder Olsen
