ITS BEEN A WEEK!!
weeks are fast and days are slow but my desires are getting higher by the day! ITS CHRISTMAS TIME! the last christmas in norway! we got snow this past week that has stayed since it has been -17 all week so it stuck but it was less that an inch since i am down so low in norway! Its been nice as well not having to travel to oslo once a week and it has made it way easier on our pockets....if you know what i mean! we had a tank of gas last 5 days! first time in over10 weeks! i would say that this week has been a great one for sure! i would have to say that the lord answered my prayers in helping me have a stronger desire to serve! sometimes its not as easy to have the desire but i would say we had a `killer`districtmeeting so it was super great! its crazy to think about the way the lord answers our prayers! i would say that it is truly incredible how it works out! one thing that i have always been strong at on my mission is a desire to pray and to stay close to my father in heaven! its true how they say you pray over 50x aday ona mission and hopefully just as much at home! it is truly a blessing and its a killer on the knees as well haha!:)
Well this week has been good! we have really made progress with our investigator that came to church this past week and who came this week as well! he is such a humble guy and he told me straight up in church that this is where he belongs! he feels good in church and it was great that we had the stake presidency talk and even though we had to leave and teach the youth during sunday school he stayed there and talked with members and BOY does he actively pay attention and listen! i am always astounded how he listens! we also had a ward dinner after church and i thinkt that was just part of the sealing deal! we talked after and he was like...."so you guys are having church on christmas right" and answered in the affirmative and he was excited! even though we could only meet with him once this past week you can see how he is progressing! he is a REAL STUD!
We have kept our focus on our less actives and they are doing well! we set a hefty goal of getting three less actives active again and i think it will go well! we have 2 that really want to come but health holds them back and the other is warming up i would say:) Its really just finding the key in each person and the lord knows how to help us find them! but its the wards job of holding them once we get them back and the ward is taking full charge of that which i am so greatful for! Thank you FSTAD! well once sad thing to say is that we have yet to receive the liahona....so thats a sad day but it always takes us forever to get it her in norway! but instead we took sometime and downloaded them in norwegian to listen to in the car! we finished the first session and have listened to our favorites.....the first and greatest commandment by jeffery R Holland....! well i love you guys and i want you know that Norway is doing great and its freezing cold but i still think utah can be colder but the cold is super different! but its cold all year round... so we push forward! i love you so much and have a superduper week everyone!
love Eldste Farnsworth
