It has been a really good week. We have been working past a rut and a few slow days into some good days. We have a new investigator Steven that I am sooo excited about! We knocked into him last week. He is a 19 year old university student out here. He let us come back yesterday for the first lesson, and it was amazing! I felt so good when we met him, and after the lesson, I was stoked. It went so well. He has amazing questions and is very open to it all. It felt so good to teach too. The Spirit was definitely there helping me. After our appointment Sister Nicholls was way excited about it too, but she said she had been nervous through it and was glad that I was the one starting the lesson. And I felt amazingly comfortable and ready to teach him. It was just testimony to me -- because I've been on both sides of it, that when one of us has nothing to say, the other usually does. The Spirit works through us both and helps us both to be able to accomplish our purposes. I've seen that so much with Sister Nicholls and I. We have definitely been a team. These past six weeks have gone by fast! Because we've been working hard.

So another amazing thing......I had probably the best Sunday ever! We had two investigators at church, one brought a nonmember friend. Another member brought a nonmember friend. And we had three less actives come! I was SO excited. We could barely spread all of our love and attention haha. It was such a good Sunday. Good things are happening.

Speaking of which, we are going to commit Terry to baptism tonight....! He is doing amazing, and after talking with our branch president, President Moses, we realized that the only thing keeping this elect young man from joining the church, is a lack of an invitation on our part. I felt completely rebuked by the Lord, but ready to be courageous and get the job done.

SO, last item of big news.......I found out Saturday night (early huh?) that I am training here in Halifax!!! There are three new sisters coming out. I'll get one here. Sister Billings will train one in Amherst. And Sister Pluim is taking hers to a new area where there were Elders - Wolfville. So Sister Billings and Sister Pluim came into Halifax last night and we were trained on how to train by President. Had a lovely dinner at the mission home, and then they spent the night with us at our apartment. We went to the temple this morning and met the three new sisters and one new elder. They flew in last night. We don't know who gets to go with who yet. We'll find out tonight when we meet back up with them at the mission home for dinner and then take them all home! Sister Nicholls, my new companion and I will go visit Terry tonight. And then 5am tomorrow morning, I'll cross the bridge again and take Sister Nicholls to the transfer van, where she will go to Montague, PEI. Woooo hooo. Did you follow all that? The Elders in my district are all staying the same, so that will be nice. I'm excited to work with a new missionary. A little nervous obviously. But it's just a matter of doing what we do, and doing it well. All three sisters seems really nice, outgoing, and normal! That's a bonus. They are all from Utah. So yeah, I feel like this is where God throws me into the water, and I learn how to swim! hahaha. No, but it will be really good for me to step even more outside myself and help a new missionary get used to missionary life.
I love you all and hope you are doing well........!
Love from Canada,
Sister Jen Olsen
