August 12, 2013

Hei hei, 

I cant believe your in Paris! Thats insane.

I'm training and moving next transfer! Im excited and feel like timing is perfect. I know it will be rough, especially if I move to a tiny area but it will be an adventure. I'm definitely going to need a lot of help from Heavenly Father though, thats for sure; so I'll keep being obedient. Moves are on the 22nd. 

 This week we had a pretty cool teach with this guy from the Ukraine who is working here in Norway so that he can save up enough money to build a house by christmas. He's an awesome dude with classic russian sounding english. We got in contact with him through a member who callled us and told us to come over and help this guy. We had a nice and chill chat and the spirit was guiding it. He told us how he's been pretty empty and depressed lately and he says he's missing something in his life. He was repeatedly thinking out loud in amazement about how we can be so happy. "no offence, but you guys have nothing. No money and you're not going to school or working for 2 years of your life. I have way more money than you guys and you're still happier," he would repeatedly say in a amazement. It was pretty clear that he was missing the gospel. He is an honest seeker of truth and a great dude. We got a picture with him. He's hungry to learn more and we referred him to the elders in Oslo where he lives. It was a cool experience and reminded me of how blessed we are to have the gospel restored in its fullness. It truly is the only way to happiness in this life and in the life to come. There are people all over looking everywhere for happiness and peace from money and things they read and watch on TV. The beautiful thing is that we have the answer. The even more beautiful thing is that I have been called full time to share it with thee people here in this amazing country. 
Im happy that you got to go back home and enjoy Finland and France. Europe is awesome isn't it? I really hope Annika had a great Birthday. I was thinking about her all day on saturday and I got a letter from her:). I miss you guys so much, but not too much so its perfect. Enjoy your time whererever you are:) Thanks for being so great. 

Love, 
Eldste Niklas Skinner
