Hei dere
Still loving up here in Trondheim. My time has flown by here
and its definitely not slowing down. I'm ok with that. So I now have kinda got
settled in with my new companion. Technically I moved into his area so I don't
have the same investigators anymore although I'm still living in the same city.
The only thing that changed was my bed and my closet, we also changed up the
study room a bit for fun. Nothing like moving furniture.
Eldste Stookey is still in the apartment so we still get to
see each other and have that energy. My new comp Elder Whetten is from Alpine
Utah and he's actually older than me in the mission. Crazy. I like it because
he's a good worker and he know's more Norwegian than I do. Its a great time for
some awesome learning experiences. This is also his first time in a while
without having to serve with someone younger. It's a whole different experience
when 2 more Semi experienced and skilled elders come together.
We've been blessed with some awesome people to teach this
week. He say's that ever since I walked into the area, big things started
happening. We're super excited about some of these people.
We have a cool family from Congo come to church yesterday
and we also have this awesome single mom from Brazil. The other day we taught a
girl who was born in Ukraine and she's pretty interested as well. Found a cool
dude from Finland named Ari or something like that. Lives out in these ghetto
projects that i've recently discovered.
We've had a pretty
happy day today because of what we were able to do as a zone last week. I'm
happy to see certain areas get some fresh blood and things are starting to
progress.
Next week is going to be insane. tomorrow we're doing a zone
leader training here in Trondheim, then on wenesday we're flying up to Bodø for
another training meeting, and then on Friday I get to go back to Narvik to help
out one of our district leaders up there for a day. I'll be all over the north
next week and I'll get to see beautiful Narvik again without the worry of being
stuck up there forever.
I'm trying to think of some interesting things that have
happened but I'm struggling trying to remember anything. Super blessed and
satisfied with the way things are going right now. I just obviously want to
keep growing personally (for the rest of my life after the mission).
Going to try and pump up as many missionaries as possible
this week. I am familiar with those struggles of teaching though. You're not
alone and being in tune with what I need to teach people is something I've been
trying to get better at. Preach my gospel has some great stuff for improving
teaching skills if you want to check that out (ch.10).
I've heard that Norway's been doing great in the olympics so
far and that after day one they had more than the US. Everyone here loves their
olympics and seems to think that I want the states to do better than Norway.
Thanks for the Email! Happy valentines day! let me know if there's anything I
can do for you guys. Love you:)
