Elder Olsen is tired just to let everyone know, so if my letter today is kind of crazier (than usual) it's cause I'm sleepy. But anyway let me think... Oh Payton came to church yesterday! and Bill did too! So we actually had a really good week. We should be able to baptize Payton really soon here but unfortunately she's living with her boyfriend. So that may delay it a bit. Bill on the other hand is doing great and i can easily see him getting baptized this month.
My mind is broken and i cannot remember anything that we did this week. Let me ask Elder Brimhall....He said we did nothing at all. I wonder where he's picked up his sarcasm? Actually we gave a ton of blessings this week. We gave three on Friday and three on Saturday. But it was cool because Friday was actually the first blessing I've been able to give. Now i have anointed people a thousand times, i have that down great! But i was able to give a baby a blessing who has had a really rough first three weeks of life. Then i was able to bless Payton in the same day. Then the next day i blessed a couple more less active members. I'm going to have to consecrate more oil soon.
I've been sitting here for about ten minutes trying to figure out what i should write. Okay well I'm just gonna write a ton of random stuff so that it looks like a wrote a long letter. Yesterday it was really warm but today it is kind of cold (about 55). Yesterday was the super bowl and I'm kind of bummed that i wasn't able to see all of the commercials. I still don't even know who won actually. So that will show you how secluded i am at the moment. I really got to take this suit to the dry cleaners, it's not as clean as when i first bought it. We were out of milk this morning so my peaches and cream oatmeal wasn't as good as i would have liked. But luckily today is pday and we can go pick up some groceries.
So yesterday was fast Sunday, but somehow we had two dinners at members houses before 5:00. Then after the second dinner Sister Brooks asked us if we wanted some cake to take home. Well what she meant was, do you want a huge piece of cake and strawberries with ice cream with a big cup of whole milk to eat right now before you leave? So of course we ate it and it was delicious, but i was way full before i had that cake.
I really love the scriptures and i love that i get the chance to read them so much. It's amazing that you can find guidance to any situation and answers for every question if we just pray and study the scriptures diligently.
(For our Blue and Gold Banquet this year, we were asked to set up tables and make a display to tell more about the area our Missionaries are serving in, we were also asked to get some recipes that are unique to that area, these are Kyle's suggestions). Alright I'll give you some good food. Boiled Peanuts, fried sticks of butter, fried oreos, fried pepsi (yes it's possible), alligator, chicken bog, possum. Plus anything else you can fry! Something else you could do is put up a thousand different churches, plus the words y'all, skreet, skrawberry, teef, toof, ima, fixin, perty. You could even put all that in a sentence : Ima fixin to see y'all at skrawberry skreet later after ma teef are cleaned at the dentist and em'll look are perty then we can have some tobacca (or tobaccer). You may laugh at that but i'm not really joking actually.
Ummm that's all i got this week. Sorry. Hopefully i can be more exciting to y'all
next monday.
