This week was another amazing week as usual! So I'm just going to jump right into it:)
Monday
So last P-Day all of the missionaries and the MMK went to Max and got lunch and that's the closest thing you can get to American food over here so it was delicious! Then after that we literally played Bananagrams our entire P-Day! It's hilarious how into we get... but it's a blast! We'll probably end up playing it today too! We went and visited the people down the street again that aren't interested in the church..but we went and had dinner with them and then played cards:) I didn't lose every single game this time so that was exciting! They seriously take such good care of us and they are so so nice!!
Tuesday
Today we looked up addresses to referrals that we had received and then planned on going to go and visit all of them. But, we got ice rain...yes that is a thing. The entire city was covered in ice, there were 10 accidents from the sentrum to the church and the buses were no longer going... so that destroyed our plans! So we were trapped in the church for a little while but we helped the ZL's with Zone Conference so that was fun! A girl in the ward bought us all pizza which was super nice of her since none of us had had dinner!! Later that day we made it out of the church and headed to Bragernes, because one of the members was going to help us with språk (language). We basically had to skate anywhere anytime we were outside! The street outside our house was so bad that my companion and I had to sit on our butts and slide down the sidewalk to get home!!:)) You couldn't walk anywhere!
Wednesday
ZONE CONFERENCE!!! Zone Conference was a blast and it was so so good! I absolutely loved it and I learned so much! We talked about how we can find investigators through members and service...because this is kind of a finding mission...we are out trying to find all. the. time! So it was super good! Then the AP's talked about språk (language) study and how we can improve it... and they put up a whole program for us on the mission website! Then we said goodbye to some investigators that they had before I got here because they are moving back to Africa... and then we went to a members house! It was a super quick visit but we shared a scripture from 2 Nephi and talked about Christ and how we want other people to feel that same joy of knowing that Christ lives. We invited them to talk to other people about the church and then committed them to hand out the Finding Faith in Christ DVD... so I'm excited to see how that goes! Trying to find through members! After that we went to a dinner appointment with the Elders and it was hilarious! We played a game to help us with the language and that was also just funny! Plus the food was great!
Thursday
Today was the greatest! One of my favorite investigators from Asker, that I have gotten to know really well, wanted to come down to Drammen and take me and my companion out to lunch!! So we met her around noon and she took us to one of the super nice restaraunts that are on Bragernes Torg,and we had pizza and fancy dessert which I also took a picture of! We just sat and chatted, looked through my pictures from home, and had such a fun time! She is literally the greatest! It was so fun for me to have her come and visit and she was telling me that she will be back again! She treats us like her daughters and was telling me that when I come back to Norway to visit then I can just stay at her house! So sweet! After our lunch we went and printed out the språk program thing and then called people!
Friday
Today we did companionship study and then had dinner with my grandparents! We had another convert lesson and talked to them about prayer and how important prayer is, but also how important it is to listen to the Spirit. Prayer has been one of the most important things to me all growing up and so being able to teach it to my grandpa and to testify of it's power and how it has helped me is the coolest experience!!!
Saturday
Today we did weekly planning and that takes up a big chunk of the day! Then we had a dinner appointment with a family in the ward with all of the elders... and it was SO much fun! We started playing "What are the odds?" at the dinner table and the kids were going into the kitchen to find spicy taco sauce and anything else that they could play "What are the odds?" with! So much fun! They are such a fun family and the kids were cracking us all up! It was the best!!
Sunday
Today we had MMK and then we went to church and church is always good! But I especially liked the relief society lesson today about how we need to stand as a witness for God and the whole relief society was getting all excited about missionary work and being able to find people... so Sister Cook and I are just going to take that excitement and then run with it so that we can find people!! Then we had our dinner appointment with a family in the ward...and it was delicious! We taught their younger daughter about the gospel of Jesus Christ (faith, repentance, baptism, the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end) and it was so good!! Like I said last week, I just love being able to teach it in such a simple method to help me remember just how simple the gospel is! It's the greatest experience! We even had the family share experiences of when they felt the guidance of the Spirit and it was so cool!! The Spirit is always so strong when we teach her and it's incredible!! Then after that we traveled home by bus and train and then had språk study because we miss it Sunday mornings because of MMK!
Today
Today we are emailing and then we are going to Trondheim!!! ( 495km away..so we are flying!!) So that will be super exciting! I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and I'm excited to tell you all about it next week!
Miss you all lots and love you all tons!!!
