Dear mom,
PUMBA LIVES IN FLORIDA! last night as we were biking home for the night we saw a wild boar about 10 yards of the sidewalk! it was so close! it probably weighed somewhere between 150 to 220 lbs. i wanted to take a picture but it was running and we weren't sure it we should be scared of it. we've heard that they can be pretty vicious. it was the first one I've seen. hopefully we'll See another and be able to get some pictures :)
I'm glad to hear dads surgeries went well. Dane is wrestling almost exactly the same weight that i did my sophomore year. i hope he is enjoying it! what school was he wrestling?
you read my patriarchal blessing!? that is cool! i read it Saturday. it was the first time in at last a month it was neat! their really are lots of things being fulfilled right now. it is a blessing to have it. i ought to read it more. it definitely has some promises that i want to make sure i take full advantage of.
D's baptism went well. the ordinance itself was definitely the highlight. D is 73 years old and has arthritis, and the cold makes it worse. our baptismal font normally fills up cold so we we heated up a pot of water in attempt to warm it up but it did little to nothing to raise the temperature of the water. we didn't have anything left to do but pray so we prayed that D's body would be alright with the cold and that everything would go smoothly. when we got in it was still a little chilly but when she got she said it felt warm! we know that it was a tender mercy of the lord! and it was an amazing experience to see her face as she came out of the water, it was pure joy.
and what was even better was that when we were helping her get out of the font their were 3 relief society sisters their and ready help D. the ward is great!
love ya
Elder Olsen
