Another Great Week

HALLO to all!

 

 its true to say that the weeks go by faster than you can truly imagine sometimes! all though sometimes days go by so slow that you think that they never end and then you look back the next day and wish that this day will go by as fast as the other one! this week has been a finding week even though its hard to believe that although we have 5 dates set for baptisms that we were not able to meet with a single one of them because of what ever reasons they were(sick, family problems, work, ect). so we were out this whole week finding and we had a great week for finding! we have found many return appointments as we were out banking on doors and also as we were contacting! although it seems easier to find people banking then on the street since they actually have to say something to you....although that is not always the case....haha! as far as setting a goal for 20 teaches a week we have made it everyweek! Its unbelievable how the lord does bless you when you dont give up! there was a couple days this week when i had been out and it had been hours since we had talked to ANYONE! we said another prayer and went out and with in 20 steps we found a new investigator! did a couple rounds again and went back to our prayer spot said another one and actually it was funny because we pasted aguy and Johnson didnt contact him and i simply said....you know that was our guy right? he look at me witha blank face just mad and said...ya i guess...so i said my our prayer and asked our father to place him in our way again and I would contact him! we were on our way back to our prayer place and sure enough he is walking our way on our side! i contact him and he listens and is actually looking for the truth! after teaching him i looked back at johnson and with a huge smile on my face i just looked at him and he laughed! YUP YOU WERE RIGHT! its funny how the lord works like that! we have strived all this week as usual to do the best we can but of coarse we can not change people and their agency which is hard when you really want to meet with your people and want to see them progress but just cant get ahold of them!! we had a great week and some discouraging things happened but we pressed forward this week with our hearts to christ even when it was hard!

 

  well this past week i also got to go to trondheim for splitts! had a great time and it made me see what its like to actually have people to contact! you can go out on the streets all day and find people there! it was warm there! it was almost 13c the day i was there and it felt like summer compared to MO I Rana! 2-5c everyday and yet the sun is out! its been pretty good weather this past week and the snow again is melted on the streets besides the massive snow banks everywhere! it was such a good chance for me to see how other people work and other ideas for my on area! it was an over all great experiance!

 

 This week i have focused a lot on a study journal with real focuses on what i have wanted to study! as i have studied with a REAL purpose to learn have i seen the change in my own learning go up increasingly! one of my favorite talks along with many missionaries is D. Todd Christophersons talk on repentace! my challenge for you all is to sit donw and read that talk and get something out of it so that! that talk can be so worthfull to us all as we are trying to get closer to our lord and savior! for any of you struggling please read this talk and i think it could really help alot you! may you all have a great week and remember to stay close the our savior! i love you all and i hope you all have a great week!
