The Farns Report

HALLO ALLESAMMEN:)

 

  well hello to everyone and i hope this finds everyone in good hopes! this week has been a great week and my companion and i have truly seen the lords hand at work for us! sometimes we forget in our day today life to look for the lords hand in all that we do and even in the little things! being in a small area could wear on people and as it has worn on me before i know this is where i am suppose to be!:) we have had quite a few lessons this week with people on the street and its been great and i have felt my teaching skills go WAY UP in this past week and especially with being confident in my language and ESPECIALLY understanding but i will get into those details a little later:)

 

 well we have had some late nights with investigators and helping them move towards the incredible goal of baptism! so a little story is that me and elder johnson about a month ago met a man on the street and he gave us his number and i have contacted him a couple times with him hanging up....well i day later we see him and he is happy to talk but i didnt realize it was him until he gave me his number and i had it in the phone..i thought to myself....oooohh i called you YESTERDAY!! but the better part is that we met with him on tuesday and he willingly excepted to be baptized! it was such a great teach and the spirit was there through out the lesson!:) so to all missionaries you might meet the same person again but dont give up on them!!:)

 

 we have had the great oppurtunity to be with a member this week and have some great time with her and went bowling and ate delicious pizza afterwards and even went and visited an investigator and try to help her as well! we were there for a long time but it was so great to get things into perspective on what we need to help her family with so it all turned out! even better part about being with all these people is we get to speak norwegian and ask questions more and more when we are with them!!

 

 well we have been trying to get a hold of a man that lives quite far away but comes to MO I RANA on saturdays and he is the guy that is always trying to see if we are doing our job....well since we always are i had called him and he said he was in the city but busy...as we were teaching a man on the street the next thing we see is him waiting to talk to us! he had to wait like 15 minutes since we got a new investigator witht the man we were teaching but we talked with him and we gave him a solid first teach right there and i committed him to be baptized right then and there and he excepted and so we are going to start a crazy hard schedule with him or in otherwords for us in taking the bus early in the moring and being with him through out the day and finding something to do in his small town until the bus comes back later in the day time!! he is a chosen vessel of the lord and he is starting to recognize it as well!!

 

 well these are some of the crazy events that have happened here in NORWAYYYYYY!!! i hope this little letter can help you all remember the importance in looking for the lord in your lifes this week and make sure you look at the small things as well! the lord wants to bless us, but we need to be willing to put in the work and recognize it!!:) i love you all and i hope you all have a great week!!!!
