Hey! Sorry I am just emailing today, everywhere was closed
yesterday because it was a holiday. Labor day or something.
So this week was a bit difficult. Man I miss poor areas. haha
But me and my comp are working really hard to find new investigators. The area
is really cool though. Lost of city and huge apartment complexes, and the hills
are covered with favelas (That we can´t enter.) It is a ton ton different that
my other areas. My members that I have meet are really cool. In church is was
testimony meeting, no one was getting up so I went up and bore my testimony
about missionary work. About how I wanted to see all the banks filled and have
to have them open the curtain to put more chairs. It was really cool cause
after that almost all the testimonies were about missionary work. Without a
doubt it will be a great transfer. Last week we had a really inspiring zone
conference with president. He talked a ton about obedience, and doing miracles
in our areas. He is super spiritual and I learned tons that I will try to apply
in my work here. He talked about how it is important to really apply what we
learn. So many people go to church, or listen to conference, feel the spirit,
and then return to normal. We need to really do what we learn.
Also I got the journal, plus the one-year package and the Halloween
package. Thanks so so so so much! My comp and me loved it. Haha Looks like the
last package you sent only took 10 days to get here. So don´t worry about
sending Christmas early, maybe the beginning of December. Also my shirt size is
16.5.
So living with 4 is more fun, I like it more. The only annoying
things are the house gets dirtier a lot faster, and we have to walk longer to
get to our area.
So it sounds like you guys had a blast in Cali! Dolphins, Six
flags, flea market? Wow I am jealous. Haha Say hi to Grandma and Grandpa for
me. I wasn´t able to write them because yesterday we used the ENTIRE day
cleaning the house, it was still horrible after one p day. But now I can
actually feel the spirit. President said something interesting. We are hear on
the Earth to progress and become more like God, one day be Gods. Gods house is
perfectly cleaned and organized. Ours should be too if we want to one day be
like him. It was cool because there are lots of problems with mistreated houses
in the mission. Anyways wish Grandma luck with the operation.
And no I never did get that email of the week. Try sending it
without pictures attached.
I love you all and am always praying for you all. I hope you
guys have an amazing week full of miracles, because miracles will never stop as
long as we have faith.
With Love, Elder Connor Ottosen
