So transfers are on Wednesday. Elder Winslow
is going to Anadarko, I’m staying in OKC and I got called to be the
District Leader here. I’m in charge of the 14 missionaries here now, I will
give trainings every Friday for district meeting, counsel with the
missionaries, be in charge of exchanges with all the elders in the district and
the Zone Leaders and I don't know what else. Naturally, I feel completely
inadequate for such a calling and responsibility. But I asked Elder Winslow for
a blessing and it helped a lot.
We met a new investigator this week. His name
is William. He is so amazing! He has had a rough past and you can tell by his
looks, but he has completely changed. He got up yesterday and bore his
testimony on his first Fast and Testimony Sunday! We've taught him a couple
times and he is really excited. He wants to be baptized but not sure when
yet. Hopefully Paige will be
baptized on January 10th. Then our other investigator, Anna, has a date for
January 17th. They're both awesome. I'm so glad to be here.
We started going to the gym in the mornings now. It's pretty fun to wake up at 5:30 then exercise. It's a nice way to start the day. I am still getting used to the new shoes. These have lateral support to help keep me from rolling my ankles.
Thanks so much for your love, support and
encouraging words!
Love
Elder Olson
