Okay everybody! Sister
Wright left this Wednesday and I got my greenie! Her name is
Sister Carpenter and she is SOO cute! You'd just love her. She is
from Temekula, CA and she's a blonde! She fits right in here in Gatineau
because Elder Jenkins got another blonde too! How fun. Still a
blonde Gatineau family. She's Anglophone but it is really fun teaching
her French! (I just hope I am doing it right). Since she's arrived I
have really had to step it up and I have been really blessed. The French
hasn't been TOOO much of a problem yet. We are really blessed to be
serving in such a bilingual area. I have really seen how much Heavenly
Father is blessing me with the gift of tongues. It's so amazing...and
really fun even though it's hard.
So we made it to a new
week! We didn't die. Yay! It's hard because I'm in charge of
planning how we use every minute of the Lord's time every day. It's been
really hard this week cause we have had lots of things fall through and lots of
things we would like to do we are not able to because of klicks (the amount of
miles we are allotted). I'm just really, really trying to rely on the
Lord and follow the Spirit because I don't really know what else we can
do. We don't have a lot of experience to go off of. I know that Heavenly
Father is really putting us through the refiner’s fire and preparing us for
something greater. I know that He loves me and my cute little greenie and
He's going to be with us, helping us and guiding us, even if it's hard at
first.
We have been trying to
focus on the members. We really want to get into their homes and get to
know them and help strengthen them. We also really need them to come
teaching with us so keep praying for us and our ward so that we can have success
in our area! There are so many things to do and hardly any time to
do it, or any klicks! We are just taking it one day at a time, and little
by little we are going to see the Lord work wonders in the area. I am sure of
it. I love you all so much! Thanks for all of your prayers and
support! Have a wonderful week!
Yes it is starting to
get cold! I am thinking I have got to go find a heater blanket somewhere!
Sister Wright says that is something I am going to want to have. Thanks
so much for the package; the GPS and treats are a Heaven send! I loved
getting all of your letters Laura, they made my whole week. Thanks so
much! I love you! Happy birthday next week cute girl! Thanks also
for grandpa's blessing, the missionary dolls and sunglasses! I loved it
all so much and really needed it. Thanks for taking such good care of me through
packages, letter, and prayers. I love you all so so much. Tell grandma
that I hope she gets feeling a little better!
Love love love with
all my heart,
Soeur Catherine Olsen
