HELLO FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!

 

  Well i wont lie...This week has deffinatly been a trying week! we have spent many hours in the rain and snow with almost no teaches! The weather in this past week decided to just go nuts and start snowing then raining for hours and then having hail storms out of now where and just CRAZY WIND!! its made this week pretty intense when it comes to contacting and when there is no one out on the streets we have resorted to finding anything to occupy ourtime! Anything from offering service, extra studies, visiting less actives and new converts even though most of them are out of town so that didnt really work! all of our appointments fall through so we end up trying to do something else! we have done a lot this week in other ways of finding such as offering english classes and yet no one shows up so its hard to hold classes with no one there!

 

  During this week of difficulties we have managed to still have a good time! during the times when it was way slow we decided to start reading Jesus the Christ together and it has really helped our spiritual sides when things are way rough! we have prepared lessons and practiced teaching and studied up on other ways to use time effectivly! we have focused on our spiritual needs when times are not so great and we have seen the difference!

 

  Mo I Rana is deffinatly starting to become more alive even though people wont accept us they are starting to smile at us when we try to talk! its a good booster since for the past 9 weeks people have had there head down! so we have made a goal to see how many people we can make smile aday to keep ourselfs going:) such small things can go a long way and since Elder Johnson and i have been here we have seen the difference in people that we have seen day in and day out have a different look on their face when they see us!! for example norwegains are very to themselfs a lot and do not accept help... even when they need it! one day when we were out in horribly icy weather we came across an old lady that was having a hard time going across the street and i asked if she needed some help and she actually said yes and i had a great little conversation and she went on her way! she still smiles at us when we see her!!:) little things like that will make your day!

 

  well thats our week not anything to exciting but we had a good time anyway! i have been thinking of what to give as a spiritual uplifter for everyone and i thought of this! having some expirances with moral issues with people here in norway i feel inspired to ask you to read a talk( since i cant get enough reading from conferance and i have read through it a couple times now) from President Thomas S. Monson! Dare to stand alone! its such a great talk and my question for all of you is how are you helping yourself be built in the world but not of the world...! random challenge i know but i hope you will learn from it!

LOVE YOU ALL!! have a great week and cant wait to hear from you all!!!
