I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy. Alma 29:9

Two Transfers Down!

Two transfers down!

So we definitely enjoyed our extra hour of sleep on Saturday night. It's especially nice to wake up when it's actually light in the morning. It's really hard to convince yourself to get out of bed when it's just as dark as it was when you fell asleep.

But yes we got the candy and have really enjoyed it so far! I'm not quite sure when we got it, and honestly I'm still not quite sure how this whole mailing system works. But i know that i get everything!

This past week has been really productive. But first of all i have to tell you that Elder Cramer is getting transferred on Wednesday! Which is disappointing because we never got to baptize together. But he has been her for 4 1/2 months which is a long time, plus we just got done training, so we were kind of expecting it to happen. Now unfortunately something else we are expecting to happen is that i will become a district leader. Because in this district Conway is in the middle, which makes it the district leaders area, and since i've been here for 3 months that will most likely make me the District Leader. Which is scary because that means i will have to do a baptismal interview on Saturday. So i guess we'll see what happens there!

The baptisms that we had set for the 19 have been postponed. But thats okay, Jane had a good excuse on Sunday and she's okay if we move it back to the 26. So cross your fingers for that!
Sunday was great though. Jesse and Holly came and we had our second dinner yesterday with them. They really enjoy church and said that it's like the lessons are directed straight at them every time. Church was extremely special this week because i have been studying the sacrament a lot lately, and sacrament just meant more to me. Which set the mood for the rest of Church. I advise that if anyone wants to get a lot out of church. They should thoroughly study the sacrament.

Haha i have to be honest i am very tired right now. I can't quite type as quickly as i would like, i definitely can't remember everything that i would like. Plus i keep spelling things wrong. But i'm glad that i'm tired, it must mean that i'm doing something right. Or at least i hope thats what it means.

I'm trying to remember what y'all want me to talk about. I can say that i'm doing great, and actually something cool that i've been doing. I took a Book of Mormon and i'm going through it highlighting all of the Christlike attributes. (Faith, Hope, Charity, Love, Obedience, Patience, Humility, Virtue, Diligence, and Hope). That's also something i advise everyone to do. Buy a cheap Book of Mormon and study it with something in mind. It opens your mind to the spirit and you learn things that you didn't know you could.

Sorry that this isn't a long letter. I can't quite get my mind to work correctly at the moment. But know that i love y'all and that i'm doing great!

Love Elder K. Olsen
