HEY YOU GUYS!!
well what more can i say that it has been another very busy week in norway! there has been a lot of things happen and its been super stressful! i mission is not just fun and games...especially when you have people to be baptized! baptisms are so rewarding but you truly have to work for them and there is so much to do! no matter how prepared you think you are we always have to expect that there is one thing missing...haha:) well this week has been full of rewarding and frustrating experiances but its been A Great Experiance:) i will also say some awesome news for any one that would in the future like to visit norway! i dont know if you have heard but Norwegian Air has got a hold of the newest aeroplane! you can get from new york to norway and back for under 500usd! so i think it will be important for me as well in the future making it so much easier to get to norway:) well aside from the side note here is the goods:)\\\
well i will have to start out with the best news! we as a mission set a goal to get 100 new investigators! we almost made our goal or i say that we did! we got 98 new investigators in a week thanks to our mission fast which included all the wards in norway! we have a new goal of having 100 new progressing investigators by the 25! so lots to think about plus getting 80 new investigators a week:) what great news to see how norway is growing! as for us we got a couple of those new investigators one of which is a man we got as a referral from a member in moss! he is super positive and he is an honest truth seeker! we had a great first lesson and he was so thankful for us to take the time to drive there and to have a meeting with him! He will be a member! its so incredible to see how the lord is starting to fullfill his promises to the people in europe! we have one of the smallest places of missionaries in europe with a total of 54 missionaries covering only the coasts of norway and not really the inland! we have got 23 people coming in the next 4 months! so we are so excited as a mission! i love being here for one of the most increasing times in norway!
as far as our baptism....its ended up not going through!:( it was a huge heart breaker! she was told that she should wait a week before she got baptized and that was hard for her to take:( as well as us missionaries. sometimes we just have to trust the lord even when we dont understand why she didnt pass completly. the lord puts challenges in our way and will test us to see how we go over these problems! we have had a lot of long teaches these past couple of days to try to help her understand so its been the stressfull part of the week! i think it helped her alot but we dont have another date set just yet!
i would like to tell all of you how awesome you are! how much i love you all! tthanks for all the support you have given me through these past 1y and 4 month or so and i am so grateful for all of you! i know this is the lords church and that he loves us so much! i know prayer works! i love the book of mormon and i love tearing it apart everytime i study it!:) i hope you all have a GREAT WEEK!
Eldste Farnsworth!
