Well another transfer has come and gone and Sister Love is staying in good 'ol Bergen for another 6 weeks at least! I think it's going to be the rest of my mission which is fine by me! I absolutely love it here and fall in Bergen is PRETTY!!! It's freezing cold and I'm dressing like it's winter but it's beautiful so it's fine!
Monday
Today we went and hiked Ståltzen or something like that and that was quite the hike! But people who live close to it run up it every single day! The record is around 7 minutes! Crazies! Then for proselyting time we rode the bybane all the way to the airport and back to where we live and just talked to people on the bybane because it was pouring rain! It was a fun new way to contact!
Tuesday
Today we watched General Conference (the Sunday Afternoon Session) and then we had District Meeting and then we talked about patience and diligence. We did practicals on banking and that was fun! Then we went out to go banking and you should've all seen Sister Hatch and I out there haha! Our umbrellas were directly in front of our faces trying to stop the rain, then the wind would blow it so it flipped the umbrella upside down! We had a good ol time! Then later we had MMK and then we went and taught our investigator and she's the best! We watched the General Conference talk from Rasband about how God doesn't do coincidence and then talked about how she has seen God's hand in her life. After that we went to sing in the ward choir and that was entertaining to say the least haha!
Wednesday
Today Sister Stolp and I went to Trondheim for splits! We got there and I went with Sister Palmer to go and teach a less active that they were working with... and it went really well! We were able to invite her to come to church on Sunday and she was really listening to everything we said! It was awesome! Then we had dinner with the other sisters and one of the new converts in the Trondheim ward and that was super fun! Then we did language study with Sister Horgmo who is Norwegian and so that's always helpful!
Thursday
Today I was with Sister Whetten who is actually from Saratoga Springs too! We taught a new convert and we watched a conference talk in Arabic because that's his first language! Good thing I'd seen the talk already in English haha! Then we ended up teaching another new convert as well and talking to him about his conversion story and it was super cool! He was saying how he is the only member in his family and how that doesn't matter to him because the gospel is more important to him than anything else and that his faith comes first. It was awesome! Then we had splits review and then we were back on trains and planes to come back home to Bergen!
Friday
Today we had our appointment cancel on us so we were out on the streets and people were just not having what we were telling them today... but I started talking to the girl sitting across from me on the bybane and she was from Austria and was now living in Norway... and I thought about inviting her to sport and talked about our church and how we have YSA activities and different things and she was really interested in that... so we got a potential investigator!!! Woot woot!!! We've always gotta be talking to people because we never know where we're going to find them!!!! Then we went and played sport and I'm getting better...blessings of a mission! Haha! Just kidding! Or maybe it's just mom's skills in volleyball being passed on and they're just kicking in late hahah!
Saturday
We were going to meet with an investigator today but that got cancelled... so we had lunch and then did weekly planning and then it was off to the Saturday session of Stake Conference! That was really good! They were talking about how the gospel has helped others through trials and they were really good talks!
Sunday
Today we had Sunday session of Stake Conference and they were also way good talks! There were a lot of returned missionaries that spoke and it was so cool to listen to them talk about their missions and the experiences that they had.... because we can relate since we are missionaries ourselves! Then we had two appointments but both of those got rescheduled so we called potentials and had dinner and then we had our studies and 12 week!
Today
Today we had transfers! Sister Wheeler is leaving us and going to Haugesund which will be fun for her but we're all bummed that she is leaving! Sister Stolp is going to be training and then Sister Hatch and I are still going to be companions! Then as for the elders, Elder Christian is leaving to go to Hamar and then we're getting Elder Burgoyne ....Elder Hansen is training and Elder Cole is going AP! So that's the rundown on that! I'm way excited for this next transfer!
Love you all lots and miss you tons!!
