well as another week has gone by the weather has now gone into the negatives! its been a cold week with weather in the minus -10-15`s! well its time to bust out the big jacket and not freeze and start using the awesome gloves and hat that a less active gave me:):) home made wool gloves are THE BEST! well this week as the rest have been super busy and we have deffinitly had a hard week as well and been challenging! we have are getting awesome progress with some of our less actives and we even got to perform service this week which was so great! as seeing that norwegians dont like asking for help and even when offered is not always easy for them to accept but we stacked a huge pile of wood for the winter season! talk about good ol fashioned when it comes to wood burning stoves and wood but there are not to many that have electricity that covers the whole house and every house has a wood burning stove and it just makes everything way more cozy!
well even with progress i guess i dont have to much to say except we got a hold of a person that we contacted a couple weeks ago and we met him for the first time and we took a member and that was such a good idea even though sometimes i flirt with that idea of taking members on the first teach but i would say that strengthened my testimony of taking them along! they connected and even though we didnt finish our lesson he liked what he heard and showed up at church yesterday as well! he was very impressed and to my suprise (even though i have had it before) he loved the lesson on hometeaching and was very impressed with that! he said he had seen people try and only fail in his church and or there were only a few who would do it once a year or so! he even said he wants to bring friends next week!:) so i would say that was a great answer to my prayers of finding a NORWEGIAN that will accept the gospel so i just hope everything continues with him:)
i cant say that i havent experienced miracles on my mission because that would be a massive lie! sometimes we do have to look at the small helps we get everyday though to realize the other ones! my desire to be better as a missionary becomes stronger everyday and i really am a weak missionary and have so many lessons to learn. all i know is that the lord is on my side helping me and pushing me(especially in this cold weather) to keep pressing forward! i love you all so much and i hope to hear from you all soon! i love you!:):)
