Week 30: Transfers, Broken Sink, & Reactivation

3/20/2017

Transfers!

A lot's changing for me this transfer...

I'm staying in Buin with Elder Terrazas!

It's not a big surprise that they kept us together. We work well together, we get along, and I've been pushing him to help him study English. He wants to come study at BYU, and he's actually learned quite a bit. Actually, out of the six missionaries in our branch, only one is leaving. My Peruvian housemate, Elder Caman, went down to Rengo with my old pal from San Clemente, Elder Borges! Our new housemate, Elder Belagro, is a Filipino anime fanatic, so that's pretty neat. A good kid though.

In other news, our kitchen sink is super broken, doesn't drain and it leaks everywhere. We told the senior missionaries, who told us to find a member to fix it, and they tried but couldn't, so nobody can fix it. Soooo that's cool too.

We had a cool experience on Sunday. An inactive member we've been trying to visit called us and invited us over. He told us he wants to come back to church and he wants to set a goal to receive the Melchizedek Priesthood. He smokes so that'll be an obstacle, but I'm really hopeful for him.

This week we've shared Ether 12:4 a couple of times. I recommend reading it.

Love you guys,
Elder Olson
