Last Week in the Baltimore Mission

Oi gente!

This last week in Chambersburg went by fast. It's crazy to think I'm  leaving this week. We had my last zone conference in this mission, and also a stake conference on Sunday. The Stake conference was actually the creation of a new stake, so a 70, Elder Calderwood, came to form the new stake. It was streamed on YouTube,  and we don't have access to that. So, we got to go to a members house to watch it. There were some good messages shared, and it was cool to see the forming of a new stake.

Other than that, last P-day we got to go to Gettysburg to see some memorials and battlefields, and today we are going to Cowans gap state park to hike. We also found out today that a bunch of restrictions are being liftedI have loved my time in Chambersburg and the Maryland, Baltimore mission. I am so grateful that I was able to come here and meet so many wonderful people. Next time I write, I'll be in Brazil!

Spiritual thought: This week is a great time to remember the sacrifice our Savior made for us, and his resurrection. I invite you all to find something you can improve #startingtoday

NOTE from his mom: Elder Olson leaves for Brazil on Thursday, April 1st and arrives on Friday afternoon back in his original mission of  Goiania. He is really looking forward to it and spent the week getting ready. He had to ship home all his winter clothes, suits, boots and coat along with his guitar. I had to send him his Portuguese Bible, Portuguese study books, more white short sleeve shirts, and a few odds and ends. We are praying he travels safely and has positive, safe experiences there in Brazil.
