Hallo familie og venner!!
OHHHH one thing i will never get use to is seeing how fast a mission goes by or even weeks at a time how fast they go by! i hope life really doesnt go by this fast all the time i feel like i cant soak it up fast enough before the next week is gone! the weather here has been off and one and its been great! 17-22c during this past week so it hasnt been super cold but basically the perfect temperture! you can never forget the people that you talk to on a mission and the CRAZY questions you get as a missionary so i recommend to everyone even if you are not a missionary to write questions down that you get! well i believe it was two weeks ago that a bar popped up right in the middle of sentrum(the part of the city) and its an outside bar so we get alot of funny comments! and whistles and what not from drunk people!!:) even though this week has been tough in finding we still always have a great time laughing and holding ourselfs sane when it gets hard!
well the other day we were really having a rough time on the streets and hadnt had a single teach in hours! we then saw our investigator and talked to him and scheduled an appointment and then walked to our prayer spot and prayed and walked back down the gå gata. we saw our investigator again and talked to him again and we saw to girls starring at us, (us thinking oh great pranks are coming since that happens everyonce and a while) so we walked with our investigator and he left and we kept walking the other way and then we hear the sweetest sound ever.....HEY ELDERS..... i turned around with a astounded look and see the same two girls and so we talked to them for about 45 minutes and got an appointment to teach them and go on a hike and invite our other investigator! they both had friends on missions and they are both from the states but not members but are half norwegian and they speak norwegian and come to norway during the summer months to work! i think they could be quite positive actually!!:) the hike was cancelled since its pouring rain right now! but we rescheduled the hike for next week!:) we didnt get alot of teaches this week but we had quality over quantity this week and met some great people that really liked hearing our messege and being around us!!
we had the chance to attend a birthday party with our brazilian family and every person there besides one person were from other lands! its was funny we were all from other countries! we met some incredible people from iraq who had joined the armed forces with the american troops as translators and are helping take down the bad guys!! like i said the people you meet are great! we also had the oppurtunity to do some service to help prepare for the birthday and built a deck for them! i then realized how weak i am haha! i love giving service and serving others, there is such a great achieving feeling and spiritual uplifting feeling that comes from serving others that you cant get from anything else!! well this week has flown by and i would like to share what i have been studying during my studies lately! this past week i have focused on becoming a better teacher! with learning my own purpose as a missionary (pmg ch1) and then building off that and going through other parts in pmg and trying to go over christ like attributes to help my own teaching in relying on the lord! so for you other missionaries that could be something you could consider:) i have seen my own teaching skills go up this week and the solidness of my teaches!!:) i got the ward package and i wanted to thank everyone for the letters and for the snacks! american peanutbutter......i forgot HOW GOOD IT IS! so next package should include more of that!!:) i truly love all the ward members in the 37th ward! stay strong and have a great week!!:)
