Wow What A Week!

WOW WHAT A WEEK!!

 THis week has been packed and sometimes i feel like i havent really done much? but then i look back from day to day and we have given quite a bit of service this week and it was so fantastik!! we cut wood for hours for a lady at her cabin and explain the church over a lunch visit! we helped a lady inour ward with mowing the lawn and getting her house ready to sell and after got invited to play golf with her and the young men and women! had a great time with them! we have had all in all a great week!

 well pday for us was actually on saturday since we got invited to go do some awesome stuff....PAINTBALLING! it was awesome and getting hit with some paintballs really takes the stress off and puts the sting in to missionwork instead haha:) we are just having a great time here in fredrikstad and our investigators our moving along so well and they are loving coming to church! we havent really been out contacting or knocking on doors becausei have really wanted to focus on less actives but sometimes it just doesnt seem to go anywhere? but i know it will pay off! once is active again:) so that was so awesome to have him be in church a couple times now!! people live so far apart here its insane!! so driving takes up alot of our time! its so great to see how devoted people are when it comes to coming to church! making an hour and a half drive every week or almost every week and taking part in callings! i love how this church works!

 one thing that i really wanted to say is how much my testimony has increased lately! i have seen how much more i know the scriptures and how much i have learned and how much i love studying the gospel! i know that christ died for me and he loves me! i have seen his love especially in hard times and in the good times as well! i know that the the prophet joeseph smith is a prophet of god and that thomas monson is and was called to be our prophet today! he is an amazing man! i love you all so much and i hope you all continue and to be strong! life is a challenge but there is always hope!:) have a great week everyone!!:)
