| Doing service at a farm in Guthrie. |
Hello,
No more winter
weather yet. It rained a little bit this weeks but it was in the 50s most of
the week.
Monday- We woke
up early and headed to Dakoda's to be guests on his Morning radio show that he
created. Then it was a normal p-day. We had a specialized training meeting
after we ate an awesome dinner at Adobe. We were trained on goals and planning
by our Zone Leaders, Elders Zerkle and Jones.
Tuesday- the
Zone Leaders came up to Guthrie to go on splits with the other elders and us.
E. Jones got stuck with Spafford and me. We saw Rodger and shared with him the
Plan of Salvation. We searched for some families of the ward. One was at
We had
a huge Mexican feast dinner at the Acuna's house:)
Wednesday-
Today we were able to visit Sis Barrow. She told us to treat her like an
investigator so we did exactly that! We taught her and her 25 year old daughter
the Restoration. She is a less active and her daughter, Mary, isn't a member. I
did a faith test visual lesson by setting an empty tea bag on fire in my hand.
It burns till it's about to touch your hand then it floats off your hand and
burns in the air.
Thursday- We felt
that we should go see Sister Ford. When we got to her house she told us she had
been very sick and trying to call her doctor but he wasn't answering. She
didn't know if she should go to the hospital or not, then she thought, "I
should call the missionaries and get a blessing from them." Right when she
thought of that we knocked at her door! We gave her a blessing and she
immediately started to feel better. She wanted to visit with us and talk, but
her doctor called her back and said that she should go to the ER to get checked
out. Then Sister Rollins took us out to eat at Pop's for dinner. We went to
Br.Dickman's afterwards for a meeting.
Friday- After
District Meeting, E. Halls, Larson, Spafford and I went to eat at Mr.Lu's Asian
buffet. The old Asian lady there continued to flirt with E. Spafford by
insisting that he looks like Matt Damon ha! Well today while walking through a
neighborhood to find some more people on the list from the ward, a car pulled
up by us and rolled down their window. We were like oh no because it's in
Guthrie so anything could happen. The lady driving asked us if we had stopped
by a certain house and Spafford replied no. She asked why not and he said he
just didn't feel like we needed to. She told us that she and her husband are
members and she'd like us to stop by. So we did. They are a less active, part
member family that was actually on our list but they were on a separate
address. We would have never found them unless we were outside walking at that
place at that time. We get to go to some service at Melanie and Nick's farm
tomorrow and we are going to Family Home Evening next week at the Bibb's!
Saturday- We
did a lot of service today. We drove to help the Smith's move a new family into
the ward. We just emptied some storage boxes into a storage unit. Then Br.Smith
bought us Subway. We went to Melanie and Nick's farm after that to do some
service. Their milk barn collapsed because it was super old, so we cleaned it
all up and are going to burn all the rotted wood from it. We later visited the
Ramirez family and read 3 Nephi 11:1-17 about Jesus coming to the
Sunday- Today
was a pretty normal day at a church. We had transportation problems so all we
could do was visit with one of the other missionaries’ investigators with them.
Love,
Elder Olson
