I don't remember when I sent an email last but I know it's been a while. 6 weeks ago I started training a new missionary, Elder Skyles from Arizona. He's awesome and we're super excited for another transfer together! Some memorable events over the past couple months include the following -
- Tishi and Sebastian's baptism! It was super awesome to see them grow closer to God while we helped them towards this. We met Tishi when she and her cousin Ashley put in request online to meet with missionaries. Ashley is also preparing for baptism!
- We helped this couple move out of the dirtiest, stinkiest house I'd ever entered, seen or smelled. The floor was coated with a layer of brown gunk.
- there was another community event at the Hyde Park church building. Bishop Pope ran a haunted house for 6 nights during a period of 2 weeks. All the missionaries in the area had to help out. We helped out for 5 nights and it was super fun. Each night we had different jobs, including being a scarer or a tour guide. My companion I had roles such as Santa, the Easter Bunny, mad scientist, archeologist, clown, and mummy. I think around 3,000 people came over the 2 weeks.
This week we had a pretty good Elders Quorum lesson about Elder Rasband's talk from general conference (by the way Elder Rasband is Sister Chase's dad). We talked about the power of the Book of Mormon and watched a powerful testimony of it by Elder Holland.
I have to go but have a fantastic week (Or whatever period of time until I write my next email)
Elder Olivier
