A Crazy Week!
heia alle sammen!!
i want to thank everyone for the emails that i have received this week and it is such a strength to hear from loved ones at home and also those who are on missions!! i love you all so much and i pray for you all! Well another transfer is done and this transfer has literally flown by and i dont seem to remember everything that happened but i know we have done ALOT here! Well i am moving and its deffinately no where i thought i would be goine! I guess its time for me to go back to my stomping grounds? well close enough that is! ill be going to Fredrikstad! which is the closest city below Moss! i have been there and have contacted there many times so it will be interesting to go back to the place of my birth:) since there is no missionaries in moss right now i will be cover moss as well so that will be very weird! guess the first time wasnt good enough hahaha i need to pick up where i was;) and since i can actually speak now that will help:) the biggest news with that is Roseane the lady that lived here but moved lives in between moss and fredrikstad! so i will be able to pick up with her kids and get them baptized:) and i already talked to her and she was screaming in the phone with joy that i was moving right next to them again:)
well this week in thinking of new ways to work we decided to focus on going to our investigators houses even if it meant being there for way to long and to get things rolling again! we met with the brazilian lady and her family and got a date for the 31 of july and we heard her whole experiance of moving to norway and meeting her husband! its was such and crazy story and with her not even knowing norwegian and just a little english, she had crazy circumstances and met her husband and was married a month and a half after!! we also went fishing with them this week on saturday even though i didnt have much luck and it was rainning and cold but still managed to have a great time!
while also meeting with investigators we met with a couple people from the ward and ate with them and did the preach my gospel way and got referrals! if anyone is not using that guide i would strongly suggest using it! IT WAS MADE FOR US MISSIONARIES! it will guide you in all ways of missionary work! we have really been focusing in trying to get less actives to church but since we cant get ahold of them we are going to be even cooler and use snail mail! whats that? well you know its that......mail box infront of your house? well elder davidson is going to keep the work moving well here! the members way be few but they are great members! my last sunday i made a cake for myself and took it and shared it with everyone and had a great time together! even a guy who we usually play basketball who isnt so interested came to church ON TIME before the rest of the members!! it was a great last sunday and now i can actually listen to others give talks and receive revelation and sit and think about the sacrement which is probably one of the biggest things i have missed! MO I RANA is a great place to be! to say the least that is!
well i mission is a sacred time for any person that goes on a mission and one advice for everyone is to use your time effectively! use the lord and bind him with all we have and show him what you want and how hard you will work for it! i love being out here and i have loved everyting so far even when things are so hard and feel like there is nothing more to do its that last part that means the most in pressing forward and continuing onward! i love the lord and our heavenly father and i have learned so much about the both of them and their divinity! i love this church and it truly brings more happiness than anything! for anyone struggling if the church is true think about all the good times you have had in church think of the love you have felt think of all your friends that have witnessed to you that it is true, now go ask and find out yourself!! i love you all and have a fantastic week!!
