Well
family,
This week was
absolutely awesome!!!!!! You may be sick of hearing that but it is true. I AM
SERVING THE LORD WITH ALL I HAVE!!!!! Who wouldn't love it?
Well this week, I
started what is called a 40 day fast. It was a challenge from our mission
president. I had already done it twice before, but this time was even more
special because I didn't think I had anything to give up. I fasted for real one
day and it came to me what I needed to sacrifice to be more consecrated and
enjoy the spirit more.
For 40 days, fast not
from food or water, but from the little things that hurt you spiritually. The
things that keep you from feeling in harmony with the Lord, or in obedience to
ALL of His commandments. One for me is that I cannot get mad at my companion.
Another is I cannot feel pitiful or self-sorry.
Do it. Pray and ask
your Father in Heaven, "What lack I yet?" He will tell you.
Also, look up the talk
form Elder Jeffery R. Holland "What Lack I Yet?"
Well this week I have
felt the spirit and we are finding people and teaching them like never before.
I love my life. . . because the Lord is directing it.
You can have this too!!!
Also, this week,
Hermano De Leon, my companion wanted to boil eggs but didn't want to wait for
the water to boil. So he put them in a metal pot and into the microwave they
went. I stopped it and told him that metal makes it explode. He didn't believe
me but changed containers. Then I remembered that a lot of water also explodes.
I almost told him . . . . It exploded. All over our house. All over him. It was
very interesting. The microwave still works though.
I love you all a
ton!!!
-Elder Olson
