Happy New Year!

Opa, tudo de boa?

I hope you all had a great New Years this week. The holidays have definitely slowed down any progress we were making, but it was a fun week. New years day we got to have a district activity, and we did a zone zoom talent show. This Saturday, we also did virtual exchanges with the zone leaders for a couple of hours. I had never done a virtual exchange before, but it was a lot better than I expected. Also, one of the members of my district, Elder Woffinden, was supposed to leave this Friday to Zimbabwe. But, he got delayed, so the district will stay intact a little longer.

We only had a couple of member lessons this week. Other than that, we didn't have anything too exciting. We were able to setup appointments with a couple of new people for this week though.

Spiritual thought: Doctrine and Covenants 3:1 "The works, and the designs, and the purposes of God cannot be frustrated, neither can they come to naught" This verse stuck out to me during my studies this week. I've seen this to be true, nothing can stop the work of God.

Things that I like: For new years we got to have a district activity and we played some skyjo. Elder Woffinden and I tied, so we had to settle it somehow.

Things that I hate: Sadly, it was decided it would be settled in a free throw shoot out. I suck at basketball so I lost haha.

Note from mom Olson: Elder Olson has been learning to play the acoustic guitar since one of the Elders in the apartment has one and can teach him. He's favored us with a few songs over our VideoCalls. He also participated in their Zone Talent Show.
