Letter from Elder Olson

November 22, 2014 Hey Mom and Dad, Sorry this is the first time you have heard from me. I have been really and I mean really busy. I just want you to know that I love you guys so much. I am so happy with my decision to serve a mission. The last 3 days i have met some of the coolest people. My companions name is Elder Ames, he is a really cool kid and we get along great. On thursday I was asked to be the District Leader, despite my wishes to fly under the radar. My district is strange we all have a great love for each other and the gospel. On Friday we had our first gym time and I was super stoked to play some ball with my district. But after only playing for about 5 min I twisted and sprained my ankle pretty bad, it's feeling a lot better now but its 2x bigger than my other one also its super purple so now my District just calls me Elder Gimp. I would love to get a lot of letters so tell people to write me my mail box # is 193 at the MTC. Once again I love you and mom STOP CRYING! oh also look in my room for my patriarchal blessing it is in a blue envelope and mail it to me please.
