Hello, Hello, Hello!!!
Well...The NC mission is pretty much amazing! The heat is still here...we are still bathing in anti-itch cream and have to bandage our mosquito bites every morning. But I guess it is just the shield of armor in a sense :)
The other night we came home and the woman we live with was baking a german chocolate cake at 8:45 at night. Man-o-man, that woman just goes and goes, especially for a ninety-one year old! We just absolutely love her! Anyway, the cake intoxicated the whole house...needless to say, we had our nightly planning in the kitchen next to the delicious cake. The driveways we run in the mornings are really not doing us much good :)
So pretty much everyone out here really struggles with my last name. Every time they look at my name tag they have to take a second look and sound it out. But it is sorta funny. We were at a lady's house a couple of weeks ago and she called me Sister Olliperson. I didn't correct her because it was just to funny. Even though they cannot say my name, they are really great people. The members are amazing and they are all so grateful and humble, they are amazing.
We had a sone conference last Friday and we learned a lot. President and Sister Cotterell are truly amazing and inspired people. We talked a lot about planning and setting goals and how important it is to teach BOLDLY and SIMPLY. I also learned that even though we have to report our weekly number, they are still just numbers and as long as I am working my hardest and do all that I can do...that is all the Lord expects. It was such a testimony builder to be reminded of that and to remember that I am not perfect, and even if someone doesn't accept the gospel right away, we are still planting seeds for them.
Thank you so much for all the love and support from everyone! The gospel is true and this is the only true church. I am so grateful to be a part of it and to be spreading the word and be a representative of Jesus Christ.
I love you all, please be safe!
Love,
Sister Oliverson
