WEEKLY EMAIL- Week 24

HELLO FAM! WOW, SOUNDS LIKE A LOT IS GOING ON, YEP SAME OLD PETERSENS, ALWAYS RUNNING AROUND WITH STUFF TO DO! ANYWAYS, TO ANSWER MOST OF YOUR QUESTIONS, NO WE DONT HAVE THE CAR BACK YET, WE GET IT BACK ON THE 1ST OF OCTOBER, AND FOR NOW WE ARE RIDING THE BIKES EVERYDAY. THEY ARE LIKE A COMMUNAL SET OF BIKES FOR OUR ZONE FOR WHOEVER NEEDS THEM. AND LET ME TELL YOU BIKING OUT TO ACRAGES STINKS...LOL.. WE GET MEMBER RIDES SOMETIMES, BUT NOT ALWAYS. ITS LIKE ME RIDING FORM OUR HOUSE OUT TO WILTON SOME TIMES, NO JOKE. THATS BASICALLY HOW OKOTOKS IS. ELK GROVE AND WILTON, OKOTOKS AND DeWINTON. LIKE ITS FUNNY HOW PARTS OF TOWN AND THE ACREAGES REMIND ME OF HOME. OKOTOKS HAS A LITTLE " OLD TOWN" LIKE ELK GROVE, AND ITS FUNNY TO WALK DOWN CUZ IT KINDA LOOKS LIKE OURS. ANYWAYS, IVE ACTUALLY LOST ABOUT 8 POUNDS ON THOSE DANG BIKES. WE HAVE BEEN RIDING THEM FOR ALMOST A MONTH, AND ITS STARTING TO SHOW ON BOTH OF US, BUT HEY NO COMPLAINTS HERE! :) AND IM LIKING THE RIDING ACTUALLY, I JUMP CURBS AND HAVE GOTTEN PRETTY COMFORTABLE ON THEM AND DO RIDING WHEELIES FOR A FEW FEET AND IT GETS PEOPLES ATTENTION AND THEY LOOK AND SMILE AND SOMETIMES LAUGH CUZ IT LOOKS KINDA FUNNY TO SEE A GUY IN A SHIRT AND TIES DOING TRICKS ON A BIKE I GUESS.. AND I MIGHT DO THEM ON PURPOSE NOW...LOL... ITS BETTER TO MAKE PEOPLE LOOK AND SMILE THEN YELL AT US. LOL... SO ALL IS GOING GOOD, AND IM GLAD TO HEAR THAT THE TWINS ARE USING THE BUNK BEDS WE BUILT...LOL... FUN TIMES. AND SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT ENOUGH PORK TO LAST A WHILE TOO. LOL... I NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH I PUT LOL IN MY LETTERS. I MUST BE HAVING TEXT SEPARATION ISSUES! :) BUT SO SINCE YOU'RE SENDING OUT THE PACKAGE, CAN YOU REMEMBER TO PUT AIR MAIL ON IT IF ITS NOT TOO EXPENSIVE, CUZ IT WILL TAKE LIKE A MONTH OR TWO BY GROUND. BUT NO WORRIES IF ITS ALREADY ON ITS WAY! :) SO LETS SEE, WELL ALL IS GOING GOOD OUT HERE, I THOUGHT OLLIE HAD LIKE FALLEN OFF THE EARTH, BUT HE JUST HAS BEEN GOING TO CHURCH AT A DIFFERENT TIME, AND HE STILL WANTS TO BE BAPTIZED, SO THAT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. I WISH WE COULD HOLD ON TO HIM LONG ENOUGH TO THROW HIM IN THE WATER THOUGH. HE IS LIKE TRYING TO CATCH A GREASED PIG...LOL... TUFF EH WHITNEY? :) BUT I KNOW THE LORD HAS PREPARED HIM, AND THAT HE HAS A PLAN FOR ALL OF US, AND HIS PLAN FOR OLLIE IS JUST TAKING A BIT OF TIME. OLLIE HAS BEEN PREPARED, AND I NEED TO BE SURE I AM PREPARED FOR HIM. IT CAN BE DISCOURAGING SOMETIMES, BUT I KNOW THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, IF I GIVE MY ALL AND PUSH UNTIL I HAVE TO CRAWL, CHRIST WILL PICK UP THE REST AND HELP ME TO ENDURE TO THE END. IM SO THANKFUL FOR THE KNOWLEDGE I HAVE OF THIS GOSPEL. I WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR THE WORLD! I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW HOW THANKFUL I AM TO ALL OF YOU FOR THE DRIVING FORCE YOU ALL GAVE ME TO ACCEPT THE HONOR IT IS TO BE CALLED AS A PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE OF CHRIST! NOTHING, AND I MEAN NOTHING, CAN STAND IN MY WAY WITH CHRIST AS MY CRUTCH TO LEAN ON WHEN TIMES GET HARD. I KNOW THAT HE HAS BEEN THERE BEFORE, AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING IN MY LIFE THAT HE HAS NOT FELT THE PAIN OF, AND THAT NO MATTER HOW HARD THINGS GET, THAT I WILL ALWAYS HAVE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL! I LOVE THIS GOSPEL, AND I LOVE MY ETERNAL FAMILY! IM PRAYING FOR YOU ALL EACH AND EVERYDAY! YOU ALL MEAN THE WORLD TO ME AND MORE! I LOVE YOU!
LOVE, ELDER OGEN
