Bishop's homemade meat smoker.



Watching conference at Sister Chappell's.

 

Hello!

I'm glad you enjoyed conference! I really enjoyed Elder Holland's talk. It was so straight up and bold. I watched Saturday conference at the Bishop's house with his wife, daughter, son and the sister missionaries. They BBQ'd a lot of food for lunch and we ate a huge dessert! They smoked some of the meat in this giant smoker that one of his sons built. Bishop Niblett is an architect and also is kind of a farmer. They have some cows and pigs. One of his cows gave birth on Friday and we got to go pet the calf on Saturday when we were there.

 

Unfortunately I still slept thru some talks :( to make it worse; I fell asleep while we were watching them at our Bishop's house! But I stayed awake for most of them.

 

On Sunday we watched the sessions at a recent convert's house. Her name is Sis. Chappell and she was baptized in February. She owns a 900 acre ranch that we went to watch conference. She owns four other ranches as well. She made us so much food! Ribs, brisket, bean soup, mashed potatoes and a cake for dessert!

 

Last night it was pouring rain, our car was out of gas and it was Sunday so we couldn't get gas. So we got on our bikes and went out in the rain. It was so fun! We were completely soaked. But we biked to a member's house to ask if he could come to an appointment with us. He said sure and we went to see our investigator, Lenita. We talked about the Plan of Salvation with her and she accepted a baptismal date! We see so many miracles from being obedient and working hard! 

 

Love you

Elder Olson
