The awesome Ogilvies!
Exchanges with Elder Thompson
This Friday we are starting a ward volleyball night! We are super excited for it! We also have been going on a lot of exchanges! I am really excited to go on the exchanges! It seems every time we go on one we find super solid people to teach!! Last week I went down to Columbus and went with Elder Thompson. We found a guy named Michael, who will be coming to church this next week! We also found a man named Gary who loves the Book of Mormon and wants his family to take the lessons! Miracles happen!
Our teaching pool is about the size of a pond right now, but you know what that means.... Its time to hit the pavement!
Each area I find more and more weights to add to my collection :) Here in Franklin I was blessed to find a bench in one of the sisters sheds!! We have about 300lbs all together and a bench hahaha. And Elder Morgan and I are starting this workout program in the mornings called "Air Alert III." apparently it will increase your vertical by 5 inches haha. We shall see!
Fun Facts:
We went to Goodwill and I found a suit that fits! I will send a pic of it sometime haha!
When you teach a drunk guy dont expect him to remember much.
People here love their hoosier geese

elder morgan is wonderful! one of my best comps. he has been a zl for 2 transfers now. this is his 3rd area. he works hard and we teach great together! his dad is a professor at byu! he was raised in new york but lived in utah for highschool. he has been out one transfer longer than me.
franklin is great! the ward needs some encouraging, i am focusing on building member trust! members need to feel comfortable and friends. we are starting a volleyball night every week starting friday night! we are excited for it! when i got here they had one solid gator but they had to give her over to the sisters. we pretty much started from ground 0. we have a few progressing now and hopefully one on date in a few days!! i am excited to see miracles here! i am really praying to find a family to teach and baptize. I feel we can do it :)
Being a zl has been soooo busy. it is finally starting to slow down a bit. the first 2 weeks of transfers are always super busy for us. we are running around getting supplies, setting goals, doing exchanges, and all these other things. we have 16 companionships in our zone!! that is huge!! if you can mom id rather you not tell the whole world im a zl. just keep it on the down low. out here i see missionary moms tell us, "oh my son is a district leader," or zl, or ap... of course they are proud of their kid but id rather keep it quieter.
oh, i love the Ogilvies! do you know how there is fantasy football where you can draft a team for yourself? ya well if there was a fantasy ward i would definitely have there family in mine!
love ya! i got 56 emails today so i might not get to send a huge email out today.
transfers are always a blast to see old comps and friends! i was talking with elder clark and this saturday we have set a goal to both do 2000 pushups in a day!! that is a bunch, but if we break it up into 4 sets of 500 we could do it! my first mlc (mission leadership council) is on the 15th of this month. i was the only one newly called as zl this transfer. were you ever a zl?
wow that is amazing!! my comp and i just read that little trivia. i knew he did their temple work and everything but the story always has amazed me! im excited for your trip to the lake and utah!! send me plenty of vids!!!!it has been funny to see presidents perspective changes. he came out thinking every missionary was a saint, which are good intentions, but i can tell he has had his eyes opened to some things ha. he is doing wonderful and id say really helping the mish straighten out! i talked to him on the phone a few days ago and we discussed what the options are.love you!
