Transfer Drum Roll, Blessing Central, Floppers, Nutty Less Active, Air Brush
DdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddDdDdDdDDDdDdDdDdDdDdDdDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD........
Ya I'm going to wait to give you the news on transfers until some
other time within this letter ;). So stay tuned to this episode of the
Psychedelic Mission Experiences with Elder Olsen, Special Guest Stars,
the Other People :3.
So begin our week Monday night we went and saw Brandon Stevenson our
Recent Convert for the first time since November. Apparently he has
been to Mississippi, Louisiana, and so forth this past time of
vacancy. He's been going to church down there which is nice to know
since he only answered one text during that month and a half period of
time but moving on. He's doing great as usual though he has been going
through a bit of a struggle with his goals. He wants to be apart in
helping two people be baptized before he leaves this May and believes
he is doing something wrong. So we discussed it with him and how, as
long as we are doing our part in helping others, Christ will make up
the difference in this situation. Just needs to be patient ;).
So this week was full of cool miracles and blessing to see...
Literally! Dana for the first time in three years of meeting with
missionaries accepted her first blessing since she was extremely sick.
She was so worried that we were going to have her drink the oil haha,
and then continued to search her head for the oil, but alas we only
used a small amount ;). We gave Mike a blessing too for his back since
there was a pinched nerve. Let's just say that by the next day all
symptoms for both were half gone and the next day completely gone.
Also, it was Danas little Palmaranian that I gave the blessing to
before his leg surgery. Well, he wasn't supposed to be able to walk on
it for two weeks. Day after, he was using it. He wasn't supposed to be
able to have stitches out until six to eight weeks later. Well they
are out and besides having a quarter of his butt shaved the dog has
full motion capabilities :D. At first Dana new that it was the
blessing when it all happened and still does, in my opinion she's just
put her skeptic view in the way again which is so frustrating when you
know they know! lol.
So later Tuesday night we receive a voicemail... Two actually from
some lady named Melissa and we really couldn't figure out what was
going cause in one she says she used to be a member and in the other
she says she's an investigator. So Wednesday morning we made a call
and she wanted to meet that day so we set up a last minute member
present and had a lesson down at the temple since she didn't want to
meet at her place.
Interesting lady I must say. Elder Litton was pulled away before the
lesson started so Brother Carr and I began as Elder Litton had a talk
with the Sister missionaries. Half way through he rejoined, told me
she was a member and that the sisters had some concerns about her
which I learned later.
The lesson was good. But I learned she's a DnC (do not contact) very
quickly. After that lesson she gave us eight phone calls within an
hour and half asking if everyone has to die sometime or another
:/........ The sisters knew this yet they gave her our phone
number.... Well with her calling us a lot most of our appointments fell
through including Daisy which was weird! She always holds, but lately
we will call her an hour before the appointment to see if we are still
ok to come by and then she won't answer :/. We still saw her and she
is doing good. Just having a hard time keeping in contact with this
woman.
I don't remember if it was Wednesday or Thursday but we went to Mikes
again to find out what he would like us to do for Dana to help her her
progress. Well we did so, as we air brushed Olaf onto a shirt haha. We
talked about a few things and unfortunately he just kinda wanted to
continue the course we were going which wasn't really anything :/. I'm
not gonna have that lol.
Later Thursday evening we went and gave Brandon a blessing since he
was down with the flu. Our goal was to make sure that he was ready for
the temple two days later and Ya know what, God had that set in order
since he was perfectly fine the next day :D. He also took the names to
the temple that we helped him with on family search which was really
cool!
Well I guess the last thing in news would be yesterday. We went on an
hour exchange since I had to play the organ for the Spanish Ward while
Elder Litton and Sutton went and contacted a golden referral that we
found for their area. She turned out Golden, with only an hour of
practice the organ sounded fine (thanks to the guy upstairs ;)), and
we were behind schedule all day haha. I met a guy named Mike (gosh
dang it philly) and had a really good discussion with him though he
kept us late to our next appointment. Invited us back since he was
impressed that we could talk about things civilly and the restoration
is an interesting idea to him.
We then went to a lady named Gloria and she's new. Her daughter is a
member and she loves the missionaries so she had us over.
Unfortunately we weren't able to stay long since our member present
had to roll out but I am excited for her!
Well that about does it for this time around. By the way I am staying
and have yet to receive a phone call about training or being a
district leader so we will find out come tonight I guess. Litton has
been a great companion and I'm going to miss him :'( but I guess we
shall see what the next adventure brings.
