Hallo family and friends!
its always good to have be able to update everyone on how everything is going! The past two weeks have been very hard and i want to apoligize for not being so uplifting! this past week has been a great week and its not even that that many things have happened but enough happened to just make us want to work even harder every day in the cold depts of Mo I Rana! we have had some interesting experiances and some just weird things happen this week!
well i just would like to state that May 1st in norway is their labor day and no one is home....so that was quite a rough day for finding but we managed to make it through it plus everyting was closed...? Russ which is a huge celebration here is only getting crazier everyday(celebration for graduating teens) which include drinking and smoking and having sex for three weeks straight and also pulling pranks and what ever else there is todo! i can only imagine being in a big city for this event! we have had rain and snow this week but nothing that has actually stuck to the ground so its just been cold! the wind lately has been coming from every direction and its been at times hard to even move its blowing so hard!
one thing that i really wanted to mention is when we were out contacting this week we met a lady and talked with her and she invited us to a wednesday activity and she told us where it was. well a little back round first is last week we walked out of our church and the door next to ours has a sign that says MOR MÅNE which sounds just like MOR MON and come to find out its her church.... and they believe is some weird things like we all need a different belief and what not but it was hilarious after we read the sign and two days later met her on the street so now we have MORMONS and the MOR MÅNES:)
the highlight of this week is that we had an investigator come to church!! she participated in the lesson and when sacrement rolled around she even bore he testimony! its was so great! we spent dinner time and the rest of the night teahing them and eating dinner and we are working getting her a date and along with her family but they are in and out of the house all the time so its hard to meet with them and hard to meet with the mother because of her work schedule! to have people in church is so great and i dont know if i told you but last week we had 12 people in church so i finally beat my goal of people so we had 14 altogether! its was so great! This week i have really focused my studies on faith as times of struggle only increase and i have learned so much! i love the bible dictionary and if you every want a great definition just go there it will usually have it! i have found many scriptures that i had never really looked at the same since but i cant quite remember them now....? i do want to say to everyone that i know that chirst true church has been restored to the earth again and that he truly guides this church through a prophet today! i love this church and it has helped me so much! i am so thankful for the scriptures especially the book of mormon! READ IT! FIND YOUR TESTIMONY! it is absolutly incredible what the gospel can do for people today in a world of messed up activity! for a little challenge this week i want you to at the end of everyday see what the lord has done for you that day and then right it down! find the miracles and expect them as well!!:)
