HÆLLÆ!!!
What a great week it has been and how fast they go by! i never feel that i have enough time to get everything done in time before the day is over! we have had a lot of meetings with people this week and have finally got to perform service for people! i loved that! for some reason its so hard to perform service in norway....! well anyway its been a joy filled week and i am pleased to to everyone about it!
well it starts off with us broke with no money haha since we had driven to oslo atleast 11 times this past month and and covering such a massive area its hard to not use alot of gas ha! we are given 2000km to drive each month and we drive about.....5000 or more...so i will admit its great that we have people feeding us:) so we had to skip out on district meeting but instead of going there we planned a teach with the mother to the iranian family! it went so good and we learned so much about her! she doesnt quite have the belief in christ....or mohammed for that matter either. she said that she has a strong belief in god and that what ever way he tells her to go she will go that way and she took a baptismal commitment! she has already read over 40pgs in the book of mormon and reads more and more from it everyday! she is a star! she couldnt make it to church but she was super sad that she couldnt come!
I will tell you one things which is that i love visiting less active members! they bring a joy into my life! i really love working with them and especially when they have a love for the church and for random reasons are inactive! i had the great oppurtunity or have been having a great oppurtunity to teach a less active and her daughter who is not a member since i moved her and have established weekly contact and lessons with them! i got to give her daughter a blessing and afterwards she felt incredible and new that the blessing was from god even though i didnt say that much at all! we talked about it and i got the chance to bare my testimony about the priesthood and how powerful it is! she loved it!
well we are working with quite a few people and its been so great! we had three investigators in church and two of the were just people that we had called and they said they would and we got them rides and turned out they knew the people who picked them up! we had a great lesson withthem in church since some how we are the "new sunday school teachers"? but i have been doing it almost every week and i did it for 6 months in Mo I Rana so its no deal:) its getting darker everyday! it was pitch black before 5 oclock the other day and winter is her or i should say its been here all year but just in a lighter way. its been so great to be here and i love being out here to teach the gosple to the people in norway! i love being a missionary. it goes by way to fast but that why we take advantage of this time:) i hope you all have a FANTASTIC WEEK! love you all!
