well this week as the rest has gone by SUPER fast! i forget what we do sometimes and i have been forgetting what day it is! Not to much has happened but we have found and talked to some really cool people but they always seem to have some kind of sickness or mental problems....haha we have found many of those people! i attended 3 hours of church yesterday along with 3 hours of singing at a church called ZION..... its funny because i had been invited in fredrikstad but we were way to busy every week and couldnt go and now i know that it was such a waste of time haha! it was just a testimony buidler to me to see how great our church is but yet what little people understand and yet they are held back (in this case) because they are blinded or just could careless to search! so all in all it was a good experiance and some pretty alright accordian music i would have to say but we dropped that guy afterwards. i really just want to tell you all that I have loved being a missionary and it has been SOO fun and yet super challenging at times or everyday but yoou recieve so much energy and strength from the spirit to help you keep going in the hardest of times! i know that this Gosple is true! it is so incredible and strengthens me so much! the weather has been so nice this past week! sun and this morning it was 10c and that was a nice change. we even went running this morning and it felt super good! i dont have a lot of time today since we are finally doing something as a district! i love you guys super much and i hope you all have a super week!!

Proud to be a Missionary
HEY GUYS!!!!!
What a week! being in a 3som is just loads of fun! we are always having a good time even though it makes teaching and contacting harder since one person is out or the 3rd wheel but we have made it work! I hope you all got to see conference because i didnt miss it this year so i was super happy to be in a ward where it was there and translation was available! in this emial i would really just like to give my appreciation and greatest love for the chance i have had to serve a mission and to be able to learn and to really come to know and love our saviour! as i have had studies i have focused in on reading a conference talk and just seeing how they all witness of christ and his life and ressurection!! What a great thing to say is my calling is a special witness of christ and i witness for people everyday! i talked to an evolutionist this week who was actually the most in depth person i have talked to and yet no matter what i said you could see the nervousness in his eyes as we could calmly just answer what we know! he wouldnt let us leave so we talked to him for awhile and i simply bore a simple testimony and walked away! there is not a lot of people that stop but i love having that opportunity to share the gosple and i am not the best missionary but i do my best!:) i know that the gosple is true and that it has been restored! i joy in the fact of living together forever as families is something i love and look forward to! i know that christ died for me and that he is my saviour and that i have the incredible gift of repentence(because i am a sinner and need it:)) and that i have so many opportunities to serve! i love you all and i hope you have a great week!

Easter Sunday
GOD PÅSKE!!
This week has been a good week and yet to follow the rutine it has gone by SUPER fast and faster than i can even comprehend sometimes! Of course one of the hardest times as a missionary atleast in norway is the easter holiday! everyone leaves and goes to other places but the place they live! in all honesty we did pretty good with trying to keep ourselfs busy but in all honesty it went so fast i dont even remember what happened the whole time! We even managed to have an investigator in church and same with the other elders and sisters! we had 5 investigators all together which for a week like this one was pretty impressive so i was happy with the out turn! we have had good days even though its now april and we have had snow today and is int he forcast for this whole week but we look forward to the blessing that will be coming this week! i hope you all have a good week! i dont have alot of time this week since we helped people move this morning for 4 hours but it was so good and now we all just are drained of energy! Thanks for all the encouragement and i am so thankful for you all! i hope you all have a great week! i love you all

The Trondheim Gang
HEY GUYS!!
Well this week has been a good one and as usual just flew by faster than ever! the last weeks are just flying by and now its the end of march! wow! elder lillywhite and i have been together for almost a 3 weeks now...haha he only has 5 weeks left! well its funny to look and see how long i have been with alot of my companions and to count and compare with others how many comps they have had! i will most likely have only 8 comps my whole mission! i say this because my 8th comp is most likely my last one who will be joining us on tuesday! we will be in a triple for the first time of my mission! i am way excited! he is from idaho and is super tall and funny! he is 4 months behind me so he is in elder morriss group! well as far as this week it has been good and we have a pretty solid new investigator and i hope he really pullls through! he is way humble but may be a little on the slow side but he is searching and he comes from the farthest connected island in the north called Vardø! We have had some great visits with members seeing as the mission pres wants us spending time with members( 5 member visits a week not including teaches) and sharing a message and its helping us alot seeing as it has not been like the other wards i have been in. they all are different but just in their own ways:) i love members and being around them and seeing how the gospel has blessed their lives! It makes me understand how the gospel has helped me in my life and how much i like sharing it! We had a really cool experiance in church right as the meeting was beggining we had a lady come in and i went and talked to her and she told me that she had been trying to come for the past couple of weeks but just couldnt get up the courage! i talked to here and told her our purpose and she said that she wanted to start meeting with us and talking! she was impressed at what she felt when she came in! it made it even easier for her since i was so loving and caring when i talked to her...she said that not me:) i could just feel her sincerity and love! we have an appointment with her tomorrow and i think it will go really well with her circumstances! Its been a good week i am just trying to keep up with everyting! it goes by way fast! thanks for all the suppport and i love you guys so much! thanks for the letters and what not! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!

Not Much Going On This Week!
HEY ALL!!
well its been a week!! its been super hard this week when it comes to finding and just trying to figure out what we are suppose to be doing here! we have done a lot of brainstorming this week to try to figure out what it is that the lord wants us to do here! the days are good but the work is going slow but we are still having lots of fun!:) We saw the northern lights last night and that was elder lillywhites first time seeing them even though from a city view they were not that strong! its still always cool to see them!!:) we helped move an older lady this week and found out that her husband is not a member! never would have guessed! we moved them for what we though was only going to take about 2 hours! well turned out to be old people that hadnt done ANY PACKING!! it took 9 hours! ahh we were just exhausted afterwards and since we didnt have appointments we stayed while everyone else left and we had to do all the hard lifting and after not lifting for almost two years wow it was so hard!! it was way good though and we are going to start teaching the husband who by the way loves to speak english and for a 85 year old man he speaks almost perfect english! no joke! norwegains are way to good at english! well nothing to crazy to report this week except that things get better everyday!:) thanks for all the support! i love you guys so much!! have super week!!

It's Good To Be Busy!
HEY GUYS!!
Wow this week has been super AWESOME!! totally have just had a good week have have sound almost 20 potentials this week! It was weird not having a comp for almost 2 days....i was on splits alot and sitting at the church and then did some home teaching with a member! i love the feeling of recieving revelation and then being able to follow through on it and see that it was comfirmed! its such a cool thing! like for example i was with a member and we had called alot of people and no one answered so we prayed and i picked a random name when i went through it and called him with no answer so we decided to just go there and he wasnt home but we ended up visiting another lady who was less active that LITERALLY smokes like a chimney! she packed up 5 sigs in a row and smoked them in the 25 minutes we were there! on the way to the bus we found the guy we were trying to get a hold of! he missed us! it was super cool! Now that elder lillywhite and i are back together its just like old times except the fact that we are now experianced and can speak fluently and there is no problem there! so we are just starting our attack on norway! i am way stoked! we have had a great couple of day! met some people and have done some really smart work! we are still working on gettting investigators but we have a lot to work with now and so i think we could turn some really quick! this week has been extravegent! i needed a sweet comp like lillywhite again to just share ideas and get everyting going again! i love him!! well thanks for all the encouragement everyone! thanks for everyting! i hope you all have a great week!
LOVE ELDSTE FARNSWORTH
