8 Months! WOW!  1/3 done! The time is flying when your having fun. we met this guy named Ron Smith he has been taught by missionary's for 3 or so years and then the missionary's kind of lost him for 7 months so when we found him in our records we went over to meet him and the first thing he said after we introduced our self's was so when can we get started because I want to go all the way this time! so we set up an appointment to teach the restoration. During our visit he kept saying seek ye first the kingdom of god that's what I want to do. then he asked when can he get baptized? we were shocked so we set a date and he is getting baptized on the 8th of August. its awesome how the lord really prepares people. Mission is the best. LOVE YOU GUYS !!!!!

Hey sorry I have been really busy doing this thing called missionary work. haha no sometimes i just have no motivation to type out everything that happened for the week so I just give summary's plus I don't have a whole lot of time to email so if you send me a letter I can write more and put more detail so ya sorry I am a slacker but I feel like I have answered most of your questions. Anyways this week I have truly experienced summer in Hawaii its been so hot like 95 everyday plus the humidity. its been ridicules I am always sticky and sweaty. pulse just found out they are going to make the area i am in a bike area sometime in the next few weeks. haha I am in for some long days but this work is worth it. my companion and i are great we have alot of fun and we work hard all though we are very different. DANG you guys have been married forever! haha happy 24th thanks for the great example of love i hope who ever it is that i end up marring that we can be like you and dad love you guys so much write me a letter with all of your questions and i will answer them I promise.

oh and this week i helped one of our less active members change his alternator :( so thanks dad i cant believe that stuff actually came in handy all of those angry night working on the flipping van. just when I thought I could get away from fixing cars. haha 

Love your favorite son Elder Jason Olson           

This is Ikika(11) and Michelle(9) they are our most recent success their family is a little crazy they were also less active for a while but we brought them back well, most of them we are still working on the mom. the Saltiban family is great! but very stubborn

YES! we got them it was hard work but we did it! it was great! I got to confirm one of them so that was cool. I am not sure what is going to happen on the 4th it might be a no proselyting day and we will just get to hang out, which would be awesome! transfers are this week. My companion and I are staying together! which is great i really like him so much more then all of my others. it must be because we are from Utah. oh i forgot to tell you but last week Elder Salazar ran over a cat haha. it was super funny and sad at the same time. it was just siting in the middle of the road licking its self and elder Salazar was just joking and said "I'M GOING TO HIT THE CAT"  and he sped up but then before he realized that the cat wasn't going to move it was too late and we ran it over but we never saw it again we went back to see if we killed it but it wasn't there but then as we drove around over there this week we found this poster. (see picture) haha its too great. anyways its the same old thing here we just have funny stories every once in awhile. also yes i just sent a letter back to them this morning so they should get it this week.the ward has got way better who knew all  you had to do is call the mission pres and it all worked out now we get fed almost every night.
