Dear family and friends-
Well my area is pretty big. On Monday we biked over 30 miles in one day!!!!! Holy cow that was hard. My legs are getting so Big!!!! But ya right in the middle of our area is a place called NIST ( National Institute of Science Technology) You could look it up. We have to bike around it every day to get to the main part of our area. We have a sweet oriental market called the Grand Market right by our apartment. they sell lots of weird stuff like live lobsters and fruits and veggies Ive never heard of. Um We live with French Missionaries One from Saint George Utah and one from Belgium. That's fun. I'm learning a bit of every language we have a goal as a companionship to learn a GQ in every language. I'm currently trying to learn Spanish, French, Chinese, Russian. Those are all languages I've run into while talking to people on the street.
Its pretty sweet Tell The Rich family that I've been running into lots of people from Ghana. They speak English very well.
Elder Bott is from Lots of different places. He was born in Utah, Moved to Virgina and then moved to Denver. So ya he is sweet. He is exactly like me... Loud!!!! Elder Probst before he went home said that we were the loudest missionaries in the mission.
So our apartment is super sweet very fun!!! Its getting super hot already here. so i don't know how I'm going to survive the summer. Its going to be Death, i might die just to let you know.
Don't worry about the bike situation. I've inherited a really nice bike from my last companion he gave it to me. so I'm good with that.
Other than that I'm doing peach keen. Love you all. tell everyone hi for me.
Love Elder Olsen
