HEY EVERYONE:)

 

 well i will say first that being in a car area tends to drain the mission account pretty fast since we have no other missionaries in the area we have all of øst fold to cover (all the east below Oslo)! so we do a lot of driving back and forth and money flies out the window its crazy haha! we have gotten alot of work done in this past week even with the many rainy days and being soaking wet:) which is actually not so bad when its pretty warm out:) but we used our time in other ways as well such as going through and organizing the less active single adults we can visit and gettin numbers and address for them and since sometimes other missionaries didnt clean or did the bare minimun (mom would be proud to learn) we organized and cleaned our appartment because i just couldnt stand to look at it anylonger! SO THE DEED IS DONE!! there is quite a bit to say but we will see what comes out in this email...:)

 

 we had an awesome experiance this sunday which was that we had a suprise visit from the missionpresident and his wife and we also had 5 investigators in church which was awesome:) 2 of which will be baptized in a couple of weeks:) and one was a lady we met on friday from lithuania! we held our investigator class and it went so well with member testimony of two 1 year converts who have fallen in love with the gospel:) its helped so much and i had forgotten what that was like having members testify or in that same manner having them on teaches! it was so incredible to feel that spirit members add to the lesson:)

 

 The member that moved from Mo I Rana called me a couple days ago and after praying for six months for her daughter...she will be getting baptized along with her brother and her best friend and we have been spending a lot of time with them and teaching them as well as playing games with them since they are younger and the mom loves having us to show the example for her kids and we have seen such a change in her life and with her kids as well! she gave the sweetest testimony on sunday and even though it was in english it was so great! i felt the spirit from what she said and the blessings she has received in her life by reading *the mormons bok* haha:)

 

  one of the days when it was pouring rain we were going to go to the church to do some searching for less active single adults and as we were on our way out to the car i turned to my comp in the pouring rain..literally pouring....and said `what do we need to be doing right now`? he said with an unsure voice...ummmm go to the church? i laughed and said `no`and said what SHOULD WE BE DOING? he looked at me and said go kontakting? Jepp! we put our stuff in the car and went out kontacting and there was no so many people out but we walked around for an hour and we said a prayer for guidance and a couple minutes later there was the guy we needed...a guy we had met a couple days ago and talked to him and invited him to church and tried setting up another appointment even though both fell through we found who the lord put in our way:) its the little things that make a difference and help us realize what we are doing and how we can up our perfomance! i love being out here and have been so blessed! there is so much for me here to do in fredrikstad and i am looking forward to staying here!!:) i have really been trying to establish a stronger testimony in jesus christ lately and i have seen me love for my savior sky rocket and appreciate the things in a deeper fashion lately! i challenge any one who reads this to see how you can up your testimony in christ this week:) i love you all and have a great week!!:)
