Hva som skjer folkens,,,
I'm super tired after all we did this week. Elder Stookey
and I went extra hard and got a lot of new things going in our area. We've been
kind of struggling as of lately dealing with a lot of dissappointments and
sketchy investigators who aren't as into the gospel as we want them to be haha.
Its been great this week though because we met with some new cool people who
seem to be pretty positive. One of them is a total hippy and his house smells
like he looks. We have this other way cool Norwegian lady who is extra
spiritual and has some sort of connections with spiritual type of stuff. sounds
like a 6th sense. We also met this dude from Africa that says he wants to get
baptised on March 1st. We're ok with that. OUr buddy from San Fransisco has had
some type of stomach surgery so we haven't been able to meet with him yet but
he's still texting us every now and then. Tore, who we baptised about a month
or two ago passed the sacrament yesterday so that madde me happy. He also is
still coming to the activities and making friends with all the members. He
brought a table curling game the other day and we got to play with that. It was
just like the curling in the olympics. We played finland vs norway and finland
won. The best part about this week was involving members on our teaches. There
were 3 different people that we taught with three different members and it was
an awesome experience. I keep learning and reminding myself that this is the
way the work is supposed to be. Best way to strengthen the members and the investigators.
It adds a little bit more pressure on us missionaries but its definitely the
right way to do it. Hopefully you get invited to teach investigators sometime.
Most of our teaches are with people at the church so we just have the members
try to come a little early so we can let them know how we can work together and
give them kind of a deal as to what our focus and goals are for the teach.
Things are going really good though. We had a miracle here
in the Trondheim district. We've been struggling with the investigators that
we've had, they've been kind of burning out and fading away I guess. So we had
a fast to help us get a fresh batch that we could work with in addtition to the
awesome people we already have. We set a goal to have 25 at the end of two
weeks. Yesterday, at the end of week one we had a record breaking 20 new
investigators. It was a straight up gift from heavenly father. Fasting always
works. This is also something we're implementing in our zone as well. So I
guess the ultimate lesson is that heavenly father is mindful of what we need.
After last week and being a little frustrating and not having too much going,
We asked for some extra help and pushed a little harder. The sacrifices payed
off and it feels amazing.
I'll be flying to oslo again this week and then probably to
Mo i Rana the day after. This week is going to be another crazy week. I'm
seriously struggling with keeping with how fast the days are passing.
Happy to hear about things going on at home. Thanks for
keeping me posted and working hard. I got my package as well. The tie was
perfect, almost too good to wear! Love you!
