This week was a pretty sweet week!
We were all striving really hard to end the week by reaching the huge goals we
set together as a district. It was a great motivation with that daily reminder
to go out and work our hardest! At the end of it all, we were able to see some
miracles! We got around 25 lessons taught this week, which almost doubles last
week’s numbers and we were also able to set a baptismal date with our
investigator Kedecia this week!! Her
baptism date is coming up fast, but that is the day we prayed about and feel
she can achieve! Luckily, she is super awesome and WILL be baptized eventually.
Even if that day isn't right!
This week was also special because a
few weeks ago, we were shown a video and given an initiative with it. It's
called "Because He Lives" and we are all SUPER excited that it is now
available to the public, and was released a few days ago! It's especially special because it has to do
a lot with the life, atonement, and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ! I
encourage you all to go and watch it if you have not. The Spirit that is
invited in that video is AMAZING! I hope you all can share that video, either
on social media or in person!
Other than that, it's been a pretty
average week though, temperatures cooled down to the low 70's so that was
AMAZING (Especially on bike week) but now they are climbing again! And speaking of bike week, I was also in a
bike accident this week!! I was stopped at the crosswalk, waiting to cross and
my companion HIT ME with his bike! It smashed
my leg into my own bike. Yeah I know...typical! It's alright though! No
worries!
This week I had a weird dream. I had
a dream of a campfire! That's the only thing I remembered from the dream. hahah!
So basically this entire week, I, for some odd reason, just wanted to go on a
hike or camping or at least SEE a
mountain! But nah...didn't happen... I did get to go on exchanges with
Elder Armijo again!! It was AWESOME! We had a pretty rad time, and met some
really cool people! So that was a blessing!
This upcoming week is definitely
going to be a busy one, with Easter AND GENERAL CONFERENCE!!! What a special
and unique opportunity that we have to listen to our living day prophets and
apostles! Heed the message that they give and truly apply them into our lives.
The world is changing, and will continue to do so. That's why we need them.
They truly are called of God and are here to help us be the best we can be and
return to our Heavenly Father! I hope you all are as excited as I am for this
conference and this wonderful opportunity we have!
Anyway, sorry this is shorter than
usual! Not too much going on, but either way I'm grateful for all of you guys
and all your thoughts and prayers! I hope you all have a fantastic, safe and
exciting week this week! I love and miss you all!
-Elder A. Olson
