Dear Family,

 Man I'm tired!!!!!!  Can't even think to write!!!!!

Holy cow we have been super busy this week. I'm loving my new companion and new area. Its really really great. I spoke in church on Sunday(my first week here) super fun. hahaha. but it was OK and lots of people said i did a great job.

Calvert has every type of people. From White Trash to Super Ritzy people. Calvert is in the top 20 richest counties in America. so pretty rich.

President Matsumori said he is expecting alot from me this transfer, so I'm kinda stressed. I guess just do my very best at everything i do. hopefully we can get some baptisms this transfer.

I am sleeping so well here. the bedroom in our apartment is so dark. i love it..

well that's all i have to say. i don't know what else to say.

Um

love

Dear family and Friends,

Lots has happened...holy cow. I am now in a new ward called Calvert. And i have a new companion named Elder Jelitto. He is super cool. We still have a car thankfully. We have a super nice Apartment, above the Garage of a member of the ward. We Are in a Two man but Ive gotten used to them so it wont be bad. Elder Nisson is now training a new missionary and is now the District Leader. Wow I never thought in a million years that would happen. Surprise!!!! Another surprise is I'm now a senior companion. Wow. Elder Jelitto has been out for Four Transfers. We are a super Young Companionship. I guess President Matsumori and Heavenly Father think I'm ready for that? Today we are going to the Nationals Game....Yay!!!! It starts at 1 o'clock. I'm pumped.

Yesterday I met Elder Pearsons parents. They are super cool. We took a picture together and it was cool to see them. It was also kinda cool to watch them as they saw there son for the first time in 2 years. she said that she would send you a copy of it to you. so Ask her for it.

(The Pearson's are an awesome family from Alpine.  I taught their two youngest boys when they were in my preschool.  It was so calming to talk to Jodi, Elder Pearson's mom, about what a great experience her son was having in the Washington D.C. North Mission when Nathan received his call.)

As a mission we are reading the Book of Mormon in Two transfers(12 weeks). I want to challenge each of you to join me. Read 7 pages a day and you will get done. I know that it will help you as you do this. Just Do It.

Thanks for all you Do!

Love

Dear Mom and Family

Sorry i did not write yesterday. We had Killer Temple Trip and i got a super bad migraine after that. We got back at about 3 o'clock and i had to take the remainder of the day off. So frustrating but I guess It had to be done. Don't worry we have permission to email today Hahaha.

Well not much has happened this week. On Sunday one of the ward members invited us to a block party. The whole block was taped off and there was lots of food and dancing. hahaha not like i was dancing or anything. Just singing along with the music in my head and sometimes out loud. haha. but It was so fun and sooooo hot; man i love Utah Heat. The heat/humidity stinks out here.

We also had a memorial day picnic on Monday with the whole ward. There was lots of food and games. It was the hottest day of the summer so far. 95 so hot. The ward parties make me miss home and make me want to see my family. But i know that's not possible and that this is the way the Lord wants it. So I'm sucking it up.

Tonight is a big night. We have an appointment to start teaching the Dea Family at 7 o'clock. We are super excited and kinda scared at the same time. At least i am. haha. but we are going to focus on what they want to learn and how the can know if this church is true. Its going to be great. I hope and pray.

Also Stop Stressing BOUt me OK mother. I'm OK. don't stress Everything is going to be OK. If you need a blessing of comfort get one because it doesn't help me if your stressing back home. i know that i am out here for the right reason and that I'm doing the Lords Work. I know you, and i know that you Probably stress about me everyday. Just relax. I am OK.

Next week we will have transfers. Also we are going to get to go to a Nationals game. So our p-day is not going to be on Wednesday it'll be on Thursday. so don't expect an email until Then.

Love Elder Olsen(Your Son)hahaheehe
