Serving the Lord in Managua Nicaragua South: February 2015

http://elderalexolsen.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Serving the Lord in Managua Nicaragua South. Monday, February 23, 2015. No Changes, Still Finding People. The family we baptized last week invited us over for dinner. First off, we had cambios this past week, and neither me nor my companion, Elder Rodas, were changed. So we're in the same area and everything is the same, and we are working hard again trying to find new people to teach. It's exhausting because it seems like I have to do everything as the senior companion, but we are working away! We conti...

Serving the Lord in West Lima, Peru: August 2014

http://sistererinolsen.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Serving the Lord in West Lima, Peru. Tuesday, August 26, 2014. My parents asked me about the earthquake in Peru on Sunday. Wow, there was an earthquake? I didn't feel a thing! Apparently there's little "temblores" or shakes every few weeks, but luckily, I've only felt one once. I was out washing the dishes and I felt a huge bump and I thought there had been an explosion or something because there's lots of construction going on. But ya, I normally don't feel anything! It was so good! This week will be a ...

Serving the Lord in Managua Nicaragua South. Monday, August 3, 2015. Hombres Guapos and Learning Miskito. Elder Passey, M., and me before the baptismal service. First off, this past week I had my first baptism here in Bluefields, Nicaragua! I am becoming quite the creative cook out here, ha ha. At times I feel like Masterchef: Nicaragua! We found a little friend. To say "my name is Elder Olsen," you would say, "Yang nini ba Elder Olsen.". To say "I speak Miskito," you say, "Yang miskito aysisna.". Well, ...

Serving the Lord in West Lima, Peru: Sand, Dia de los Muertos, and Cui

http://sistererinolsen.blogspot.com/2014/11/sand-dia-de-los-muertos-and-cui.html

Serving the Lord in West Lima, Peru. Monday, November 3, 2014. Sand, Dia de los Muertos, and Cui. First off, my parents asked me and my brother, who is currently serving a mission in Nicaragua, to compare some of our experiences. I would say there are some similarities, but also some differences. And now I only get a bite or two every week. Cat Calls on the Street. The view from the hills above the sand dunes. Having a picnic in the sand dunes. I think we ate more sand than rice. The piano classes are go...
