Hei
Another Pday. super crazy. I don't really have a favorite
day of the week but usually our preparation days are the fastest and sundays
are the craziest with church. I forgot about the super bowl to be honest.. but
I do know that I missed out on the Winter X-games! Lame. I heard about it from
these 4 dudes we talked to in a college parking lot late one night. Apparently
Torstein Horgmo (one of my favorite snowboarders) is from right here in
Trondheim. They say he's usually traveling around but you can see him around in
the city every now and then. I'm going for the miracle baptismal story with
him. Torstein won the gold medal for best trick last year I'm pretty sure.
This week was pretty sweet and I learned a lot about listening
to the spirit. These 4 guys I just mentioned were found because of the spirit.
We were totally lead to them after our appointment didn't show up (its been
happening a lot lately). It was cold and almost time to go home but for some
reason we felt like we should start heading over to this bridge towards a
business school even though it didn't make the most sense due to the lack of
people to talk to. Straight darkness and no one in sight. So we start going but
later feel like its a dumb idea. So we turned around. After we turned around to
take a more normal route home we start second guessing ourselves (maybe by this
time its triple guessing). So we stop again and then just say a prayer asking
for some direction. Long story short, we end up going over the bridge and then
eventually find these dudes throwing an american football under the orange
amber parking lot lights. Its not an every day sight to see so we just went up
to them and asked what the freak they were doing. They were cool and then
became interested in what we were doing. Stookey talked to three football dudes
and I talked to the snow boarder friend. We connected really well. I told him
about how much i miss shreddin but about how its totally worth giving up tp
share what I know to be true. He's not getting baptised but at the very least,
he now knows that mormons are somewhat normal people. I was grateful that we
listened to the spirit even though it didn't make a whole lot of sense. I was
also grateful for the reminder that I have certain people here in norway that
i'm supposed to connect with. I was also happy to learn that this is the worst
winter for snowboarding since the 60's. At least here in Trondheim. There is no
snow at all.
Another fun fact.. I
went and visited some less actives in Hell this week. No joke. There's a place
here in trondheim over by the airport called Hell. We taught some awesome
members and invited them to say peace out to Hell and come to church.
Unfortunately they chose to stay in hell.
Moves call was
yesterday. Stooks and I are no more. To keep the streak alive of not being with
a companion for more than 6 weeks, I'm getting a new companion. Its actually
just elder Whetten (the other Zoneleader). Our mission is now semi back to
normal so I'll be serving full time with another ZL. No more district leader
responsibility either. We're getting Elder Clarke to run the district now. He
was in the MTC with me. (now this is where melissa does a mini freak out and
facebook/instagram stocks his girlfriend to let her know haha ;))
Good luck with everything back at home! keep it going! Love
you all a bunch:)
