Dear family,
Well this week has been really slow. My companion says that i am a head case. So that's really good. But I'm learning and growing as a person. I am a ball of clay and the lord is shaping me into a fine piece of pottery.
I am learning how to focus my mind and attitude no matter the circumstances may be. this is a huge challenge for me but I'm working at it. My teaching skills are lacking but I'm getting better everyday. We have a baptism on Saturday so I'm super excited.
We went to the temple today and i still love it!!never enough!
Tell Grandma to hang in there and that i love her very much.
Tracting is not effective at all here, in this area, that's what Ive learned this transfer. everybody is so set in there ways. "Hard Hearted". Its kinda depressing but you have to give them a chance to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. We don't tract very often. Its completely different than when you were a missionary, dad. You probability tracted every day. We don't. We focus on less active members and referrals and GQing. (Golden Questions)
One of the guys that i came out with went home. he just wasn't working at all. So president Sent him home. its so scary for him. he didn't have a testimony before he came out on a mission. that's a No No. you cant preach about something unless you know its true. Because i had a testimony before i came out i have purpose. and that purpose gives me hope and drive.
well my ride is leaving. i cant write anymore. I wrote as much as i could mother. till next week
Love, Elder Olsen
