Thank you so much for ordering that voice recorder! im really excited
for it to come. Its wierd being around different companions but we all
get along great. I feel like I've grown a lot this week because im being
forced to speak more norwegian. I got stuck teaching the language class
but I try to make it a fun learning environment. We keep getting new
people which is awesome. Especially because they get aqcainted with us
and the church. It feels like I have more responsibility, which I like. I
gave my first blessing in norwegian yesterday. I loved that. The
hardest thing about missionary work right now, is working hard and still
having a personality. I catch myself just getting into my grind modes
with absolutely no personality, which isnt benefitial for anyone. I'm
working on that balance and I think it will come after some time of
getting used to the responsibilities.
My week has been full of service. all those years of helping move
furniture didnt end with the mission thats for sure. We randomly walked
by these people who were moving from one house to a condo two doors down
(you would have died at how nice and european ikea'd out it was.)
Whatever style of interior it is you like, it was it. So we offered to
help them and were suprised when they actually said yes. So we spent
about an hour and a half helping them and they say we're always welcome
back and that they'd love to feed us dinner. Might have to do that one
of these days. They half jokingly believed that god sent us to them.
Which was very true because we usually dont walk down that street. So
that was a pretty cool opportunity to minister. Way tiring, but worth
it. We helped a less active unload a seatrain full of boxes and
furniture the next day. the fridge was fun. They were nice to us but its
too bad they only call us when they need something. I want everyone to
take the time and just say hi or something friendly to the person you
usually dont talk to unless you need something. Just do it. That is my
commitment to the world.
We got to golf again this morning. Im am so lucky to be in this
ward! We were also fed an amazing breakfast. So blessed. Today I also
totally was blessed to find a suit on sale for 500 kroner in my size, it
was destined for me. Its a nice european suit black/charcoal with very
fine and close together pin stipes. Im usually not a fan of pinstripes
but this one will be a nice replacement for my black wool onee that
ripped at the crouch and isn't fixable.
Nothing too new or crazy is happening, i'll try to send a couple of pictures. I just have so many and it takes forever.
Thanks for being awesome. Love you!
