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

Happy New Year


Sorry everyone...I forgot to upload this from LAST Monday :(

Happy new year!
 
So today is sort of our day off and we'll have to be in lock down at 8 (cause i guess that's the time everyone decides to get drunk and party, last year they did that at 6pm).
 
Anyways it sure was awesome to see y'all on Christmas. And yes i did get all of my presents and i love all of them. That new watch is great and it matches perfectly with a tie that y'all got me last year.
 
In other news i got my new suit! The Berry's got it at a swap meet then they got it tailored then they took it to the dry cleaners. It looks great and i looked fantastic!
 
Also I am getting another transfer here in Augusta! Which means i will be here for six months! I excpect I'll get transferred after this transfer and that that will become my last area. Crazy right?
 
Unfortunately this week with church we didn't have any investigators that came. But Elder Tippetts and i have a lot of plans and a bright out look on the future! We have a lot of good people that we are working with and i'll definitely let y'all know when they start progressing.
 
Speaking of investigators Tamika and Dequan are back in town and their home has heating and electricity. So the Lord has definitely been blessing them for having the desire to go down the right path. Right now Tamika is working on quitting smoking so once she overcomes that they will both be baptized ASAP!
 
For sure give me Chris's e-mail when he gets it, we'll chat it up on mondays.
 
Also Holly was really grateful for those scriptures. Hopefully when you meet her she won't be in and out like the flash. But she acts like that a lot when she's excited so i wouldn't hold your breath.
 
Well not a ton happened this week (besides a lot of fun christmas adventures).
 
Oh actually this last wednesday Elder Tippetts and i were back and forth to the hospital because a lot of members needed blessings. 3 to be exact. I'm always extremely humbled that i'm able to use the priesthood and that i'm worthy to hold it. I love the feeling that the Lord can work through me.
 
Well i expect i will be finished and released on August 1. So we'll need to figure all that stuff out there. I actually had some ideas for that and i'll get to you next week.
 
But i love y'all!
Elder K. Olsen
