hallo family and friends!:)
i can finally say its not freezing in MO I RANA! as i told you this past week i had realized that i hadnt seen the moon in over two month and the sun is finally doing his part in warming up MO! we had one day that we wore our jackets but the other days were in white tshirts! this week was also summer solstice or the longest day of the year or with sun that is! so us as missionaries got permission to be out til 12(even though we still had to be up at 630) on saturday, so my companion and i decided to go and see the down hil ski jump here in MO and as we went up there we talked to a guy and he told us of some other places to go to and told us to minds well just hike up the whole mountain! So we did! we got some great pictures of the sun at 12 at night and had a great hike! we did some trail running on the way down! it took us 2 hours to hike up and 20 minutes to go down! it reminded me of mail box peak in utah! such a quick hike down! ill add some pictures in so you all can see 12 midnight sun!:)
well we got to meet with our main investigator 4 times this week and he is right on track and he is learning and he believes that the book of mormon is from god! now he just needs to connect the dots that it was translated by a prophet and that his church has been restored to the earth again!:) he is way fun to hang out with and he looks just like rob dyrdeck! seriously does! i am so thankful to be in such a great place in norway and to be blessed with the great members here! a church doesnt have to be big to be true! its true either way, rain or shine,and thats what matters most! we have done a lot of walking and long distance walking since norwegains celebrate every holiday and bus schedules switch and a walk to båsmoen is about 1h30 so it takes awhile but i am thankful for the great people we have met to and from our house! i want to tell everyone that setting goals works! we have been promised if we have 20 teaches a week that baptisms will double in our mission and they are for sure going up! we are working as hard as we can to increase that! we have been getting 20 teaches aweek for over 5 weeks now and we have seen the progress with our own investigators!! i love being out here and i have never felt so great and in touch with the lord! i have never felt the spirit stronger than now and its incredible! in my personal reading i just read 3rd nephi 11 today and its only a more and more increasing spirit everytime i read that! to know that jesus ministered to the people in america is incredible! i love the book of mormon and i love ripping into the scriptures every morning! i hope you all are working on your own scripture study and finding out what your day to day life needs! i hope you all have a great week!:) love you!!
