I am doing good, all is well. Our lessons are
pretty good. We're having a bit of a hard time getting members out with us to
our appointments. Yes, I enjoy being a zone leader. I don't feel too different
than any other missionary really. Just we're really involved with all the other
missionaries.
I've fasted every week I’ve been here so far.
Pretty much 80% of our time is taken up with the administering and ministering
to others. Our numbers are lower than I’ve ever had them. But the ward is
pretty much doing all their missionary work. Even though we're busy most of the
time I think we can do a better job at carving in time in our area. We gave a
good training last Tuesday. It was all about raising the bar, raising our
expectations of ourselves, our companionships, our districts and our areas.
We're teaching a man B. who just moved here from Portland , OR
Another lady is C. She as had a rough past
with many trials. She has been changing and wants to be closer to God. We
taught her the Restoration and all about the Book of Mormon. She loved it and
said the closing prayer for us. Keep them both in your prayers will you?
We had a good day yesterday at church. We
were invited into the Primary to tell how the spirit has helped protect us
during our missions.
We get 1/2 off at Jamba Juice. So we go
usually once a day or once every other day. It's so good!!! :) We run the OU
stadium every morning Monday Thursday. Then play basketball every Friday and
Saturday morning.
For the 4th our ward had a big
breakfast party outside. It was very humid; there was a parade of little kids,
lots of doughnuts and watermelon, kickball with kiddie pools and a slip n slide
to home base and volleyball. Elder Tanner and I played volleyball with some
members and sweat a lot.
Love,
Elder Olson
