I only ended up being in Laurel for 2 days. It was a
pretty cool place and I had a cool visit with an inactive cop. He hasn't
been to church in a long time and he's had some rough experiences
lately. His son died 6 years ago and he's obviously seen some scary
stuff as a cop. He couldn't why Heavenly Father would allow things like
this to happen, especially good people. I don't really remember all that
I said but the spirit was strong and I could tell he took our
conversation to heart. It was so weird because I was the "talker" and
was able to carry on our discussion for over an hour. As I opened my
mouth the spirit filled it with words. Such an awesome experience and it
boosted my confidence when he was surprised that I had only been out
for so short of a time. No way I could have done this 2 months ago.
This week I've really been trying to finish the Book of Mormon and
I did it! But even cooler, I finished it in the Celestial room of the
Montana Billings Temple! Saturday was the last weekend of the transfer
so we were able to do an early morning sesh since we live so close. I
was so lucky to be able to go. Something I'll always remember. The Book
of Mormon is true. I promise. I hope you're all taking time to read a
little bit each day. Its evidence that the true church has been restored
and living righteously brings blessings.
I did get my easter package. Thank you so much for all the love! I
sending letters to the kids today so look for them in the mail sometime
soon.
Time keeps flying by over here and I think i'll be in
Norway pretty soon. I keep hearing scary visa waiting stories just about
everyday from people. I hope I'm not one of those elders who never ends
up getting their visa, but even if I am, its where Heavenly Father
needs me more.
Love you all so Much and I hope you all have an awesome spring break! And Happy 18th to Melissa:)
Peace out,
Eldste Niklas Skinner
