Full of Gratitude...

The Original Guthrie Five!!!

Goodbye for a time to a wonderful lady who loved us like her own, Sister Lisa Rollins you are missed.


With the Dickman family and the group of missionaries who were touched by Sister Rollins.

Here is what happens since I inherited my dad's bad genes!!!
 


This is such wonderful work. I love bringing someone to Christ.

The old true Elder Olson shining through.


Sister Rollins passed away last Thursday. Her funeral was Monday afternoon. I went up to Guthrie and attended the funeral. It was very sad at first but we all had a good time. Lots of laughing and joking with Dakoda and the other missionaries.
 From the Dickman family in Guthrie:
 Many of the missionaries that have touched Lisa's life were here for her funeral. We are so grateful for the time they have spent in our home and for touching our lives. Lisa's funeral was beautiful. Dakoda was so excited to have so many people surrounding him- it was so great to see. It was also great to see Elder Olson. He sure is such a great kid!
We are having Thanksgiving at 2 or 3 members’ houses. I've been doing some stomach stretching exercises to prep for this. Training is going well. Elder Winslow is taking the lead in almost every lesson now. He is a great teacher. His Aunt and Uncle used to live in Montana and now live in Lehi, UT. They are good friends with Jim and Becky Olson! Our plans for December are to go crazy with the new "He is The Gift" video and we are going to find a ton of people from it. We are supposed to hand out 10 a day. We are going to be reporting to our leaders how many people we find from the new video, like we do with lessons taught to investigators with a member present. This is going to be sweet.
The work is truly hastening and the dividing line between good and evil is getting more and more apparent. I love this work and I love you!
Elder Olson
