Sharing the gospel and loving it!

Armadillo road kill

Australian blue-tongued skinks sighting in Oklahoma?

They are filming a movie about America in Guthrie.
 
Monday- Normal p-day. The carpet in the church building that we normally play basketball and volleyball in is being all torn up. So we went to E Halls and E Reynolds apartment and played basketball on a tiny half court that they have by their apartment. Then we showered and went to the Borgerson's for dinner. Afterwards, we went to the Wade's and met up with Dakoda there to play more basketball.
Tuesday- After studies, Sis Storie took us out to eat lunch at Stables!:) Then we visited Rodger and read 2 Nephi 4:16-35 with him. I had read it during my personal study and felt that it would apply to Rodger as it did to me. We worked a lot with members today. At one of the houses, the lady told us that the person we were looking for had moved away about a year ago. So we thanked her and headed back to our car... not even thinking of asking her if she was interested in the church or anything. As we were getting in the car, she yelled to us, "Are y'all Mormons?" We said yes and she told us she had some questions and would like to make an appointment with us. We set up an appointment with her then left. Awesome!
Wednesday- What a day! We got to see Sis Barrow for a minute and set up an appointment to teach her and her daughter again. We ate dinner with the Chaston's. When we returned home, we brought Dakoda with us to the Bibb's house for a FHE that we had planned. We brought up music and beats that Dakoda had made and Br.Bibb pulled out his phone and plugged it into a speaker and started playing some beats that he had made. I ran out to the car and grabbed the CD Dakoda had burned us of beats that he made and we started to listen to it all together. All of a sudden, I guess Br.Bibb was feeling a beat that Dakoda made and started to freestyle rap to it. (Mom and Dad that means that he started to come up with lyrics off of the top of his head) He rapped about Jesus, the Atonement and Joseph Smith! It was freaking sweet!
Thursday- We met the Schraters. They are members. We visited with them and talked about their missionary work. They are doing awesome! Sis Schrater is discussing some little things about the church with a couple people that she knows. We ate a cheap dinner at Taco Bell then went to the Rollins for cake and bowling because it was Sis Rollins' bday. It was actually a little bit of a surprise party for E Larson because his bday is this coming up Monday. Sis Rollins got a yellow cake with an octopus that had black jerie curls for E Larson. It's an inside joke that's hard to explain ha-ha. The blue frosting stained our tongues.  We went bowling at 89er Bowling Alley. Probably the oldest bowling alley I’ve ever seen ha-ha. I won a game.
Friday- Today we visited the Morgans. We asked them how their missionary work is going and talked about it. We read Isaiah 29 and 2 Nephi 27 with the Ramirez's. Then stopped by Melanie and Nick's to try to set up a time when we could come have a FHE with them. We went to the Rollins and gave Marianne, Sis Rollins' mother, a blessing and Sis Rollins a blessing then shared D&C 4 with them and Dakoda.
 
Love you all,
Elder Olson
