Dear Mom and everyone,
So, another exciting week in the life of Elder Olsen. We have been working really hard this week. Monday, we found a new investigator that’s really cool. She's Christian so we offered to read the bible and we read 1 Corinthians 12. It was interesting.
Tuesday, we had Divisions with the assistants. I was with Elder Verkler. It was fun, we got to help a member make a compost for her garden. I got a few photos of it. We dug about 2-3 feet and filled it with garbage. Then in the night we went with the investigator from Monday. This time we met her daughter too, their names are Maura and Rut, they are a little older but we really got their attention with family history. We asked if she had any questions and she asked about work for the dead and we got to explain all of that it was a cool experience.
Wednesday, I went to get my new suit but they didn't have it ready yet because they didn't accept my card the last time so that’s when I paid for it and I went back for it Friday. Oh, and in the morning, we got a call. We were supposed to have a baptism this last week, but she talked to her husband that lives in Texas and he told her to wait. So that night we went and tried to help her and her two kids feel ready but they still decided to wait so we'll see what happens with them. It's just a matter of time for them. They watched all of the Conference and have attended almost every week for 2 months.
Thursday, we went with Maura and Rut at night. They had some questions about the plan of salvation so we talked about that and answered all her questions. Then she started to ask about Joseph Smith and we left her a pamphlet of the restoration.
Saturday, we went to a reference that we got on Friday. It was really cool because it was a part member family that has been waiting for the missionaries for about a year and just got into contact with some last week. So, we got to know them and they gave us dinner so that was cool. The parents didn't get baptized because they aren't married but they are about to get marries in 2 monthsish do we'll be helping them out.
Today we went and played soccer in the church it was fun.
This Sunday only one came so we are going to go out and see why they didn't come. But I'm really enjoying myself here.
Well, I love you all!
