A Crazy Week, Conference in Oslo


Heia alle sammen!
  This week has just ben super crazy! we have had alot todo and just not so much time to do it! we had splitts this week and we had teaches dropped new people picked up, walking and biking everywhere, trip to oslo for mission conference, the new stake in norway was created! well as you can see this week has been jammed packed with exciting things! 
  well we have had a lot of fun this week and yet we didnt really meet with any of our investigators but we found new ones instead with hard effort and working though cold weather(ps cameron the weather is way colder here):) we had splitts on tuesday with the Bodø elders and actually ended up getting the majority of our weekly teaches on tuesday since we left to oslo on thursday night til sunday night! we taught some very interesting people....can anyone explain to me the difference between a potatoe and down syndrom? or why people think that we dont believe indians came from god? haha just a couple random questions we got out on the street this week so you all can think about them:) those types of experiances are just incredible and you will always remember them forever:)
 we actually got to meet with one of our members this week and had a lot of fun with her! she has been wanting to do stuff with us so we planned activities for wednesday and thursday and she even came on some teaches with us! we went to the polar circle and to the swedish boarder to see some sites and drove around to great sites and she showed us some great things about norway! I AM SO THANKFUL FOR MEMBERS!! they are such a blessing especially in such a small  place they will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!
  well being in oslo for 3 full days was very exciting and to go contacting where the streets are full and you can pick who you want to contact is great! i have been contacting the same people for 4 months here and 4 months in moss haha!:) but yet still manage to find new people!:) although serving in small places really makes you greatful for people way more than a big place would! its so fun to go to big cities and be around so many people! well mission conferance was friday from 9-9 and elder teixeira was there! and also elder kopeishka (how ever you spell it) and it was great we got alot of advice with working with members and planning more effectively! the spirit was so strong as we were there and it so great to be around truly inspired people who are called of a prophet who was called of god and see the light that shines within! we got to be missionaries in oslo for a day and we also had a great sunday meeting to call all people to positions and everything and it was incredible to understand what they said since the dialect is so different from where i am serving! to many dialects! it really showed me how much my norwegian has increased! we finally got home at 2200 on sunday and we were just so tired from waiting at airports all day and finally sleeping ina bed again!
 this week was great and very inspiring to missionaries as long as we will apply what we have learned into our study!!:) i have been reading a talk over and over again from David A. Bednar from this newest liahona! if you havent read it.....i can strongly suggest to sit down and REALLY READ IT! it has helped me understand the Atonement more in my life so please read it even again if you have read it! its modern day scripture to us all if we will actually apply it in our life! i love you all and i hope you all are doing great!!
