Letter #56 (December 21, 2009)

I just found out that my mailbox has been full for a whole week. I probably been sent several emails, but I haven't received any b/c my mailbox has been full. I'm pretty upset right now. I'm not going to lie. I feel a little better now that I could vent with my friends, all you that are reading this. We are never alone. Even if you don't think you have anyone that could relate to what you're going through, Jesus Christ has been there. He has taken upon Him our pains and our sufferings. He loves us and doesn't want us to suffer. He wants us to turn to Him so our burdens could be made light.

I had a good week. Sam, the 17 year-old convert came with us on an exchange. We made some stop-bys but no one was home. We were prompted to visit his non-member mom. We were worried about what she might think about us coming over. We said a prayer right before we arrived to her place. She welcomed us. We had a good time with her and were able to teach a little and bear testimony of the divinity of this work.

This is the Church of Jesus Christ and He is our Savior.

Love, Elder Olaya
