This week absolutely FLEW by! It was another great week and guess what everyone!? The sun still exists and it came out yesterday and it's out again today! That's 2 days in a row!! So this week is fantastic! Still freezing cold but there is a sun in the sky!!:))
Monday
So last P-Day we just went home and called through our phone and we got appointments from it! I think we had 3 or 4 appointments that we got from calling, so that was a big blessing! Miracles do happen! Things are looking up!
Tuesday
We had a mission wide WebX and then we had District Meeting and talked about what we want the culture of Drammen to be! It was good! After that we had district meeting and then we had all of our studies, because we had to catch the bus early today. We watched Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration and that is literally one of my favorite movies! It's so good!! You just watch it and just know that Joseph Smith was a prophet that was called of God to restore the church. When you have time, just watch it! We also listened to a BYU talk called "Remember Lot's Wife" and that's another way good one that you should listen to when you have time! After our studies we went to this family in our ward...they live far away...but it was such a good visit!! We shared the Testimony of the Book of Mormon by Holland and then we invited them to read Moroni 10 and actually..you guys should just watch that video too:)) Then we had an appointment with a potential!! Who actually cancelled just an hour before our appointment... so we decided to call people instead and see what other appointments we could get!
Wednesday
We had an appointment today!!! We met with a guy who we had found in our phone and area book! He has had a few lessons with the missionaries before, but said that he was willing to meet with us again.:) Our MMK came with us on the teach and it was really good! We spent the majority of the time just getting to know him and then asking him what he thought about God.. and that took up the rest of the time. He had a lot of different ideas that he explained and wants to know how everything works! It was funny because Sister Cook later said that that is how she would've been if she was an investigator... so maybe this will something positive and great!! After our appointment we had a dinner appointment with a family in the ward! It was a great visit and we had a lot of fun! Then we went to the church to go to Young Women's... and the girls had to write their own young women songs to the tune of two High School Musical songs.... and it was hilarious! We were made as the scribes because they wanted to do it in English and it was so funny!!:))
Thursday
Today we did weekly planning and then called through our area book and we got another appointment for this coming week, hopefully today actually but we will see!! So that was successful! We had dinner before we took the train down to Skien... which is a two hour ride... because we had splits! Oh funny story...so we couldn't find the keys right before we were going to the bus so Sister Cook says, "Okay...prepare yourself heavens. You're about to be opened" Haha!:))) So this day just flew by!!
Friday
Today we were in Skien all day! I went with Sister Nielsen for the first half of the day and we went with the Elders to go and visit a less active. She was just the cutest little lady! We just sat and talked about all sorts of random things and then we shared the scripture in 3 Nephi when Christ introduces himself to the Nephites! It was so cool to hear what she thought about Christ and the role that He plays in her life even though she has been struggling with coming to church. Then we went with Sister Claridge and Sister Cook on a ferri to go and have our dinner appointment with a family. They were a fun and crazy family!:)) Then me and Sister Claridge were supposed to teach a lesson, but he cancelled on us, so we traveled back to the apartment and called through the area book. We had splits review...while eating peaches and this yogurt thing (it's like Danimal for adults) and it was delicious!
Saturday
Saturday morning we left to go back to Drammen... so I spent that time reading the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is just the coolest thing ever! I feel like I'm just a sponge trying to soak it all up when I'm reading it! It's incredible and testifies of everything that this gospel is! We had interview with President Hill and that was great!! He told me that our old neighbors' niece got called to Norway!! Crazy small world!! Then we went and contacted. We had planned a Meet the Mormons night so we had invited potentials and a less active and had gotten food and such...but no one showed up. I have to say I was really disappointed...but, we watched it as a District and it was great!! Way good movie!!
Sunday
Today we had MMK and then we had church... and I learned so much in church today! I have a goal to take notes in each of the meetings..so that will be cool!.it I absolutely loved church today! We had a dinner appointment..with the elders..at a member in the ward's house. She is just the greatest!! She told us how she wants to invite less actives, investigators and whoever over for dinner when we come for dinner so that she can get to know them too... and that we are more than welcome to use her house for teaching! She is the sweetest and we appreciate the member help so much!! After the dinner appointment we went and visited two single sisters in the ward and had so much fun! We watched the Mormon Message "Where Justice, Love and Mercy Meet" (SO GOOD!) and talked about how Christ will never let us fall and how He has always been and always will be with us in the hard times and in the good!!
Today we have no plan for the P-Day so who knows! But it will be great because THE SUN IS OUT!!!
Love you all lots and lots and miss you tons!! Also...HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!! Go tell people you love them...after all I am Sister Love!! Ohh so funny! Making jokes about my own name!!
