We were blessed to be able to FaceTime with
Elder Ollis on Christmas morning! We are so grateful for the Shipley
Family who shared their home with Elder Ollis and his companion so they could
call home. What a blessing it was to have our family "together"
on Christmas day!
Most importantly we were able to hear first hand
just how much he LOVES IT in CARDSTON!! Some of the other things we learned
about his new area:
- There are only two traffic lights in Cardston and Elder
Ollis thinks that is just enough. "Salt Lake is just way too
big!"
- His current zone is the largest in the Canada Calgary
Mission
- His new companion is Elder Crockett, from Pleasant
Grove Utah
- He and his companion are also serving as District
Leaders because only two sets of sisters serve in their district.
- He and his companion serve 5 wards in the Cardston
area.
- The youth are very involved in family history and
temple work. The local high school is across the street from the
Cardston Temple and the youth will print our temple names at the seminary
building and cross the street to do temple work on a regular basis.
- He loves the people there already and is amazed at the
number of referrals they have received, even though the vast majority of
the people there are members.
- He LOVES his mission and President and Sister Miles!!
