SURPRISE!

HEY EVERYONE!!:)

  This week has been quite the week...and thats really all i can say! as usual we have been so busy! we have really been focusing in on our member teaches and also our less actives. like i have said before...less aktives just put a smile on my face:) especially when you can just connect with them and help them in their dailly lifes! well i really only have one big story which was the MIRACLE of this transfer! if people ever say that suprises dont happen in Norway...well they have got it so so so wrong!

  Well this story begins on thursday since we had our district trainning meeting in Oslo. Well our parking was running out so we went out to go pay for it and as i was putting my shoes on i turned around and there is our investigator studying in the center in Oslo! i was so suprized and i talked to her real quick and said i would talk to her afterwards. well we started talking and she was like guess what?? I quit drinking tea and i would like my interview please:) I was completly shocked out of my mind! it was like she had a complete change over a couple of days! we arranged everything and she got the okay! we then spent that night and friday planning for the baptism! it was so hard to plan because so many people had left to go to the ward temple week so that made it really hard to find people to talk and what not! well after callling a million people we just said ok we are just putting this into the lords hands and wrote the people down on the baptismal program and surely enough those people called us back the day of and said they would LOVE to talk! I had the great oppurtunity of baptizing Roya!  The ward helped us so much and made this spectacular event happen! well a little joke for everyone is that people say that it was a splashing experiance!..... lets just say that i was not going to have to baptize her twice....so i threw her under the water with AUTHORITY!! hahaha the two witnesses got splashed so it was funny!:) She had such a great time and even my convert from moss came along and was with for the baptizm and it was just another great witness to her of how strong the spirit can infuence her in her life! Sunday was great and was confirmed by a member who she really likes. we all ate dinner afterwards and had an incredible time! all i can say is that baptisms are so stressful but they are SO WORTH IT!! we go out and try to find people! but it is best through members! her and her mom are in it together now and its so great to have them in Fredrikstad:) i know that this church is true and that god continues to work among men today and continues in miraculous ways everyday and that is my own witness and i have been out for over a year know! i love being here and it has been great!

  well the last bit of news is that i will be staying in F-Stad for another 2 months with Eldste Morris! i think we will do good! i have really enjoyed F-Stad and i am excited to see what is ahead here. i wasnt done with my own plans here so i am glad i can continue working on the things i want to accomplish here:) i hope you all have a super fantastic week!
