Mission Zone Conference is always a real treat, but on October 29, it was particularly wonderful. After 9 1/2 months in the mission field we finally got to see Elder Olsen, our neighbor from home. And what a great missionary and leader he is!
Elder Olsen is well known throughout the mission for his work ethic, personality and dedication. Of course we already knew all of these things because we watched him grow up... just down the street. Elder Olsen was asked to be an assistant to the mission president two weeks ago and is already doing a marvelous job. His talk at zone conference reflected his leadership ability and giant spirit.
Olsen family...you can very thankful (and a bit proud) of Elder Olsen. And you'll get to see him "in person" in February when he returns home!

How nice that a local boy does well on his mission. We haven´t had our first Zone Conference but we had a Zone Leaders Council today. Very spiritual.
That cool you finally got to see him. He was probably glad to see some faces from home. He looks so grown up!
Elder Olsen has such enthusiasm for the work, and we're so excited to know he was your neighbor in Utah. Thanks for all of your great stories and ideas, especially in regards to our teaching challenges. You are Master Teachers and we love learning from you.

You look so great DePaula mama. It's so nice to read about your mission-- it helps me REMEMBER. Life has gotten busy, and I think that's just want I need to do... remember. Love you.
