Its been super beautiful and summery here the past couple of days although it rained on the 3rd and 4th of july. Scandinavian Summers! I'll try to see if I can email you later tonight. Im totally in a rush.. I just wanted to send something out so you didn't think I forgot about you. haha

(part 2)

This has been another quick week with all sorts of walking. Our poor buddy from Oslo has done a lot of walking around with us, but we've had some good teaches. Our investigators still have a long way to go, but there's nothing wrong with that. 4th of July wasn't too exciting but it was still a great day.. we started our language class. 5 Bulgarians came and 3 Filipinos came! We went through the basics and it was way fun. Eventually we're going to have the native members help us out. It was great to have non members in our church and curious to learn from us... eventually it will lead into gospel teaching opportunities I think. Today I was in Oslo because we wanted to put together a zone ultimate frisbee activity before a leadership training meeting. Sorry this email is kinda lame. I've been working hard and trying to help out my companion. The language is coming... but then when I get too confident im quickly humbled. Its a fun process. My teacher from the MTC is in Norway so I got to see him today too. I'm so grateful to be here in norway. I'm so grateful to have some an awesome family as well.The gospel is true and will continue to bless our lives if we stå på!
LOVE YOU!
