Hey From Norway!


well its weird to think that i really dont have many more of these things to write....haha thats weird! like i said i just dont know what to say anymore other than a mission is the greatest time of your life(thusfar:)) and also the hardest but as i have thought lately about the trials i have had on my mission and how they worked out it has made me think of enduring to the end! or with other words stated my nephi " its is my grace that we are saved after all we can do." one ting i can say is that i have learned to love the scriptures and how to handle my problems accordingly and do it with love and to "try" to understand even when you just dont quite understand.....but i think we all get that haha! this week has been a slow week for missionary work seeing that everyone was gone or too busy to meet but we enjoyed our time anyway and did what we could:) we celebrated by watching the parades out our appartment window seeing as it is right on the maine street:) everyone gets in their "Bunads" which they have for men and women which is an old fashioned dress or suit(not so common to see for men) which are absolutly stunning and you would faint if you saw the price tag as well knowing that basically every norwegian has one(20,000kr) so more or less over 3000usd....so its expensive! although we went around getting pictures with girls in their bunads;) but thats missionary tradition!;) we had hot dogs galore....ate way to many and i think i am done for awhile! haha! we were at an american familys house and played a bunch of games to finish off the night and we all had so much fun! on saturday and sunday we had the youth from oslo stake...59 youth here in trondheim and that was awesome since Fredrikstad and Moss were there so it was a great reunion and they all jump on me and we talked through sunday and they wouldnt leave me haha! it was super awesome since most of them had no idea i was there except for me;) This week have a super goal for the north of getting 15 new investigators:) may not be alot for other missions but of a total we had 5 last week for 7 areas and 3 coming from one area and 2 from another...so its a heafty goal but i think we can make it:) i hope you all have a super week! i love you guys!!
