6 months!

yo yo yo alle sammen,

Its been a really great week of missionary work. We've been teaching that lady from the congo, and we've also picked up some way positive investigators. We were knocking on some doors and were totally led to the bulgarians from the language class. The same dude who is looking for a job and played us the bag pipes is now officially my homie. I love that guy and especially now that I found out that he was a professional snowboarder for a couple of years. He said he's not Xgames good but he still can definately shred. WHich is why he lived in Switzerland and is now here in Norway. He's the man, I gotta convert him so we can shred after the mission. His name is Ivan and he's about 28. Another bulgarian who lives in the same complex is really interested in having us teach her. She talked with missionaries in bulgaria some 18 years ago. She LOVES us and told us basically how she feels the spirit whenever we're around. She's a sweet lady named Veronika. We just gave the Book of mormon last night and we're going back on wednesday to teach the Restoration.

While walking home pretty late one night and came to find that the bridge to get to our house was up for the night, and we couldn't cross it. So we had to take a little detour past all the bars and restaurants at about 9:50 on a still bright saturday night. Some dude from Poland waved us over and totally wanted to hear what we're all about. He was most likely drunk and I was tired and we were late getting home, so usually I'd just ignore him and keep walking. But we stopped and set up a time to meet with him the next day, half expecting that he wouldn't remember. He turns out to actuallt be way positive. So we met him on Friday, gave him a Book of Mormon on Saturday and he said he wanted to come to church with us on Sunday. SO yesterday we took him to church adn taught him the restoration and asked him how he feels about baptism. He told us he'll be baptised wehen he finds out the Book of Mormon is true. perfect! He's such a cool jittery dude, who lost his leg in a car acccident. So know he has a prosthetic leg and works in that work industry.

We've been blessed with some awesome people this week and I am so grateful to help them out, and share what I know is true with them. We have a ton of other potentials as well who we're working on meeting with and getting them to feel the spirit!

We had the asssistants come this week for contacting splits. We basically went around the city and learned what to do and what not to do while finding people. It was pretty helpful to get some insights from more experienced missionaries. They were impressed with my language skills and I really have been trying to step up my studies in order to become a legendary speaker. The more work I put in to improving my skills the more the gift of tongues will help me. One Idea that I have is to get a digital voice recorder so that I can record norwegians speaking and put general conference talks on as well. I think it will help. So maybe you can find one of those cheap online on ebay or craigslist and send it to me when you are in Finland.

I am happy to hear that you guys are all doing good and that the Schramms are coming to visit. Its been pretty warm here lately and yess everyone's on their summer vacation. I've been sweating all week and its only 28. You poor people. Thank you for taking care of that Xbox live thing.. its been autorenewing and stuff like that so hopefully you guys called them or something. Im glad to hear Patrik is wearing my clothes and I really hope he gets that hair cut. Everyone has that hair cut here. Super Euro. I think its sick. Just flow it on the top and chop it on the back and sides. He she get it.  I dont know about bleached though. I am being good and having fun. You all do the same. Remember CPR: Church, Pray, Read.

Love you all!
