ORANGES!

I was so happy last night when I walked into the lounge and saw a giant box for me! I knew right when I saw it what it was =) I was so happy but it was weird all week thinking how close you were to me but I couldn't see you and the oranges meant you were REALLY close! Its funny because this week has been like a food fair thing and people have brought food from their countries and I wasn't sure what to give to people and so I just put a sign on the box that said "Arizona Oranges -Sister M. Olsen" Don't worry a took a bag home for me! Seriously it was so funny how everyone just loved them. I forgot how good our oranges were, but in comparison to the nasty sour ones I have from the grocery store, they were heavenly! It was nice to see people I know and I'm glad Allison sent the picture on to you all! I also saw Andrew Draayer and his 2 nieces and a couple people from Hamilton in Allison's stake. (Travis Lumby and Kelsey Phillips). So fun! I think you can come and take a tour with me this Summer =) Do you think any of our extended family would want to come? If so, just tell them to call guest services and book a tour with me specifically and then it will be sent to President and he may approve it and call them back to let them know. We are going to an nursing home today so I don't have very much time to write but I did have wonderful experiences as always this week! I think the main thing I learned this week was how powerful prayer is. I was feeling frustrated one day becuase no body had accepted the missionaries or referred their friends. So the next day I decided to pray even more than usual and all of my prayers were answered. I prayed for a tour, and even though it was terrible whether, a wonderful family came for me to teach. Then I prayed the next people I talked to would refer a family member and an old man referred his son. Then I was in a presentation called 'God's plan for his family' which is my favorite, and I prayed someone would come who would want to have the missionaries and it happened! It was an engaged couple who the guy was a member from Logan, Ut but the girl was not and she was just visiting from Australia. I prayed and prayed she would accept the missionaries the entire time and at the end she said yes! I told them about Donny and Hayley and how much they reminded me of them. I shared with them what a blessing it was that even though they were in different places, the missionaries still taught Hayley and she could ask Donny questions. I told them how she was baptised and they are getting married soon and then will be going to the temple. They seemed so touched and I was so grateful to be able to share Donny and Hayley's story with them because the Spirit was so strong and I knew it comforted them. That was a really rushed version of the story but trust me...it was a great experience =) I wish I could be there at the wedding this week. Send my love please!!!!!! Well I am off to visit the old people. They kind of scare me. I don't know how Nicki bathed them...she is such a better person than me =/I LOVE YOU!!!!Maeg
