So I may have trouble talking about specific things about conference but it was definitely the most spiritually uplifting conference I've been too. Being on a mission certainly helped that to happen. I received so much revelation and had so many questions answered. But the coolest part is that all my question weren't exactly answered word for word by what was said. But it was answered by the Spirit. All of my notes that i took were the spiritual promptings which i felt and things i learned for myself.
I want to tell you all the amazing things that have happened with Holly! So she wasn't able to make it to the first session on saturday. Buuut she made it to the last session and she loved it! She loved it so much that when she went to work right afterward she told all her friends about it. Then we get a text Sunday morning.... she can't make it to the first session. Then we get another text... she can't make it to either sessions. But that's because she invited all of her friends to watch it at her house! Isn't it crazy that she got more people to church this week than we did? But anyways she watched both sessions and the session on Saturday! It's quite an experience watching conference as a missionary. Because you try to envision what your investigators are thinking when they watch it. It was perfect for her and her friends! We'll be teaching her probably every day this week, because she asked us to. Honestly i don't know how much more we can really teach her. But this i know, she's getting baptized this month.... we just don't know exactly when Haha.
In other news! I'm not sure if you knew this but transfers is this wednesday and we found out who's leaving on saturday. So what we found out is that I'm with Elder Cahoon another transfer! Actually his last transfer! Which I'm really excited about because he's definitely one of my best friends. Also Elder Stever goes home this wednesday and Elder Wilkinson will be training (those are the other missionaries in the apartment).
Speaking of the apartment we are moving this wednesday as well to a better apartment complex. I guess it turns out the the augusta apartment was the worst in the mission. So I'm glad that I've had the worst of it now... only better from here. But we actually got some pretty great stories from being in georgian place (our current living situation). But... I feel that it will be wise to tell the stories after I've moved. So until next week!
Last Monday was P-day like every other Monday. But this last Monday we went mini golfing! I believe i got second place, but i got 3 holes in one. Which was the most of the day. Also after that we went lazer tagging. Guess who totally pwned at that one? Me!!! Alright so it was companionship teams. So Elder Stever got 900 points, Elder Wilkinson got 950. But theeeen! Elder Cahoon (my companion!) got 16500 points! And I got 33500 points! So basically we annihilated.
It's kind of cold today actually. It's probably about 70 degrees outside. Which i used to laugh at when i first heard that. But everyone is in sweaters and jackets. 70 is a pretty big jump for us. And since it's after the october conference it is now suit season! That's right the slacks are hanging up for the season and i get to wear this suit coat every day. So that means I'll probably be going to goodwill to get myself a cheap suit... if i can find one that fits my abnormally tall body.
A quick side note, tell Nick i will happily go straight to his house for Halo. Sorry mom, a mission can't change me that much 
Also crazy sauce! Could you believe that they lowered the age requirement! Haha i thinks it's so cool to see modern day revelation! I seriously pray that i can train an 18 year old. Isn't it weird to think that if that was the rule when i went on a mission I'd already be home? Blech. don't want to think about that.... Not that i don't love home, but ya know, a missions pretty fantastic. Lot's of work to be done, people to baptize, spirit to constantly feel.
So i got a note in the mail saying that i got a package waiting for me at the post office on saturday. But i couldn't pick it up because they were closed. So of course they don't work on Sunday.. oh and guess what!? They're not working again today. Dang Columbus!
Wow... the guy next to me sneezed so loud that he put the Olsen sneeze to shame. It actually surprised me so much i didn't even say God bless you, i just sat there stunned.
But anyways church is true, sky is blue, and i love all of you... y'all
Elder K. Olsen
