I got to stand in the circle for a baby
blessing of Brother Calhoun's daughter, Rosemary Calhoun. It was so cool! It's
the first time I’ve ever stood in one of those. My last week was pretty good!
We had a meeting with Bishop Niblett on Tuesday night after our Book of Mormon
class. He gave us some assignments to look up what the difference between
temperance and diligence is. D&C 4:6; 12:8. I came to the conclusion from
the tortoise and the hare story. The tortoise had self-mastery. He abstained
from working harder than he was able, but yet he didn't stop. He was diligent
and he won the race. We did a lot of biking this week. About 32 miles since
Wednesday. On Thursday we taught the Restoration to Evelyn, she is in her 50s.
We invited her to be baptized and she accepted a date! We need to continue to
see her and really work with her to achieve that goal. Later that night we went
to the Walton’s' house to teach one of their grand daughter's friends named
Lexis. We also taught her the Restoration and she is getting baptized on May
17th! She is already going to girl's camp this summer and has friends in the
church. We went on exchanges Friday and Saturday. I was with Elder Garcia. We
tried a lot of people but no one was available. We continued to work and the
Lord blessed us with people in our path. Elder Garcia stopped and talked with
everyone and we found three potential investigators from it. We have an
appointment with one of them tonight! There are 14 new missionaries coming in
this next transfer. Trainer calls were last weekend and I didn't receive one so
I’m not training a new missionary. Yay! That'd be super stressful haha. I hope
I get to continue to labor with Elder Davis here in
We usually eat out on Mondays and/or Fridays
as a District. Sometimes when we drive all the way to Coalgate with the Sisters
we eat at a home cooking restaurant called the Brand-N-Iron cause we can't make
it back to eat with a member. I am looking forward to receiving more mail! I
haven't gotten any letters in almost two weeks haha. We drove to a tiny Amish
town called Clarita to find a less active member. It was awesome and super
pretty! I'll send some pictures.
Mother's day is indeed approaching. I love
you so much and am so thankful for all you have done for me. Can't wait to
Skype!
Love you!
Elder Olson
