Dear mom.

Sorry for not e-mailing you last week. We had a "death temple trip" (killer long drive)  and it took our whole p-day. But Ya My Trainer was taken away from me this transfer. Today was transfer day and I have a new companion His name is Elder Furugen. He is from Japan and is so cool. So I'm in charge of the area for a while. Its kinda scary but i guess the Lord thinks im ready for that. Maybe he thinks I'm a fast learner. ( HAHA That's a funny one) My trainer is becoming a Zone Leader. HaHa that's so much work for him. I hope everything is going well for you back in Utah. Out here if your from utah your called a utard. Kinda mean but ya it fits lots of people there but not us OLSENS. Haha ( on a good day) HaHa.

So I'll be able to text you to know what time I should call you this Sunday. Be thinking about that cuz I'll text you on Saturday. cool hu? the mission pres gave permission. I love the Technology era that we live in. 

I'm so excited for our first baptism. It's on dec 31st Yay. Her name is Mary Fletcher. She's cool.

So ya be thinkin about what questions your going to ask me sunday because i can answer more talking rather than e-mail and letters.

 

Talk to you soon....for reals!

Family-

 My chin...HaHa my roomates played a prank on me and that was the result. I LOVE BEING GREEN!!! NOT.

Well,  got another B-Date. Her name is Mary Fletcher. She is a super sweet girl. its cool because shes getting baptized on new years day and confirmed on january 1, 2012. its so cool.

I'm doing great. This week went by way slow but we got tons of work done. last friday we had CDM. It's where we have Personal interviews with President Matsumori and Sis Matsumori. They are so nice and really smart. I love them.

We are constantly meeting new people in and out of the ward. So many different people with different backgrounds. All of them need a different teaching style and order to how missionaries teach them. We have to "Go to Heaven" for our inspired Questions. Thats what im sturuggling on...GOING TO HEAVEN. But i'm trying and i seem to be getting better at it.

Did you see my MTC Roomates chest? So funny.. ahahahahahaha

Dear Mother,

Im sending a SD card home Today that has tons of pics like 300...so you'll be able to visulize my condition. HaHa. but i'm doing great. I got my First B-Date Yesturday!!! So cool. Her name is Wendy and she's going to be baptised on January 21. She has lots of pets and is a very cool person.

Today it started to really cool off.  We've had record breaking high temp. this past week but its now starting to feel like November. O wait its almost Dec. Haha.

Im eating fine. We have a meal at a members home almost every night and its good stuff. love it!!

Im feeling great and learning everyday. I haven't gone tracting yet because we have just been working with less active members and investagator referals, but i feel it coming. 

Mindy sent me some sweet notebooks and some Scripture glue ins. I have no idea where that came from...but SWEET!

If your going to send a note to someone send it to Brother Weitzner. He is the ward mission leader and a legend on the mission, He feeds us all the time and has left overs every time for us to bring home. He's the one to do that too. But the Hasegawas is also a good idea, make sure you bear your testamony about how the gospel/me being out here on a mission blesses our family. Brother Weitzner is a convert and one of the most giving people on the earth. He helps us with everything. And gives us a hug everytime we leave his house. He is so cool!!! 

Grandma...Thank you so much for the package its great!! I'm going to make the pudding today and my roomies are excited for it. I am Too. Man thats good stuff. I love you and miss you and the fam. but i know that what im doing is the right thing to do and you will be blessed for what im doing out here. (Keep Hangin In!)

 

Thanks for all you do.

Love,

Elder Olsen

 

P.S. BOOTS!!!!!!! I need them badly. WE have tons of service and such. I'm wrecking my workout shoes and so I need a pair of work boots (cowboy boots.)

P.S.S. Tell nate that I only have 30 min to email or I would send him his own email. sorry. Make sure he gets that gift I got him for christmas.

 

Love you All bye
