Hey Hey! Its been a wonderful week in Stevi! This transfer has FLOWN by. I know it was agood week because I feel happy, but I honestly can't even really remember what happened =/ This weekend Elder Andersen was here for our Stake Conference and it was AMAZING. Our whole zone came down for it and we had dinner with President and Sister Gardner before the adult session. I had a little chat with Elder Andersen then grabbed Anna, who is getting baptized tonight, so I could introduce her. The main theme that I got from the conference was "fear not, only be believing". And he talked about how with the world having more of an influence from Satan, the Lord will compensate with more of the Holy Ghost, revelations, miracles, etc. It really was a very hopeful conference. We moved into some member's basement and there are so many BIG HAIRY SPIDERS; I don't even scream anymore they come around so frequently. Ishouldn't complain, its not like I'm in Africa or something. There was an Elder Olsen that went home not too long ago so my district accidently calls me 'Elder Olsen' all the time, but I pretty much have a couple of them trained to call me Princess Olsen. =) Sister Morgan now only says she is going home about twice a week...thats improvement. We have a good time together and the work is moving forward. Sheis terrified of 'tracting' but I recently discovered I say we are going "finding" things go much more smoothly.=) Its hard, once you finally get to really know a companion and teach well with them, the transfer is almost over! Iread a quote this week that really fits how I feel. Maybe its common, I dunno:"LIFE ISN'T ABOUT WAITING OUT THE STORMS, ITS LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN" Isn't that nice? Anna Gail's baptism is TONIGHT! YIPPEEEE!!!! She is so absolutely amazingand there will be a lot of people there to support her. All of our baptisms have had to be in the chapel so far because only 50 people fit in the relief society room and there are more than that. It's cool to see the ward really love and support the recent converts. I'm not gonna lie, I kinda miss BYU back-to-school time...dumb pedestrians and all. I think I'll buy myself a new notebook and pens today just for fun; I love school supplies. Please let me know how Grandpa Hansen is doing. I pray for him constantly. Let him know how much I love him! I love you allllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!! The church is true! The cause is just!
