We worship a God of Miracles... every single day is filled with tender mercies and as always..GOD IS GOOD!
Monday
So last P Day we decided that we were going to go hiking. We stopped by Subway and then took a bus up to some neighborhood where the hike began. We started hiking..but it was super slippery... so we didn't hike very far...we just stopped and ate our sandwiches and then came back down! :)) We had a lesson that we were teaching at a member's house with our investigator. It was an incredible lesson! They are also from Chile and speak Spanish so that was super helpful because everyone understands the gospel better in their own language. We talked about the Book of Mormon and really focused on how it testifies of Christ along with the Bible... and we committed our investigator to read it from the beginning every single day. Then they fed us pizza and we all had dinner!
Tuesday
Today we had District Meeting and we went over area books and then talked about member work and how we can better work with the ward and get them to help us with referrals. We had a lesson with a potential investigator... her dad was a member of the church when he was alive and so she knew a lot about the church... but she has had a really hard time lately. She told us that it always seems that when life gets super hard, then the missionaries just show up. God doesn't do coincidences! We taught her the Restoration of the gospel and then when I was reading Moroni 10:3-4 at the end of the lesson... she was crying and said that she felt this was something that her dad wanted her to do. It was such a good lesson! We committed her to read in the Book of Mormon. But then we got a text from her a couple of days later saying that she couldn't meet until closer to Christmas which was a bummer! But we're going to try and meet with her anyway! Then we had MMK and then dinner and studies!
Wednesday
Today Sister Stolp and I got stuff bought and ready for our splits that we had with the Stavanger Sisters! Sister Sorensen (who I served with in Drammen) and Sister Morris came on splits to Bergen! I was with Sister Morris for the rest of the day today! We went and banked those same houses that I banked with Sister Brimhall...but we didn't have as much success...probably because it was the middle of the week. We were able to give out one Book of Mormon and when we gave it to the girl she said, "Well then I guess I'll have to read it" PERFECT! I love it when people do that! We had one guy open the door really fast and all I could say was ,"Hei" and then he slammed the door in our face. But we were just cracking up! You know when you're well seasoned when you find that amusing haha! Just not ready for the gospel quite yet, that's okay! So it was onto another door! But we had a lot of fun banking! I love it!
Thursday
Today we were going to have a lesson with our atheist friend... but he cancelled again and told us that he had to go to work. We saw him in the city when I was contacting with Sister Sorensen ...so then we asked him if he was even interested in learning anymore... but we haven't heard anything... so that's just sad! But that's okay because that meant that we were out contacting for a long time and we found some prepared souls! We gave 2 Book of Mormons, one we got the number to, but the other one didn't want to give us her number or commit to an appointment. But here's the coolest one! So we stopped this guy and he said he was in a hurry and asked if we would walk with him across the city... so we just walked and "gave him the watered down version of the Book of Mormon" (name the movie!!) no but really I explained the Book of Mormon and what we do as missionaries and he said he was interested.... and then he gave us his phone number and before I had even finished that then he had said, "Can I have the book please?" YES!!! So we gave him the book and have an appointment scheduled with him! YAY!!!! So that was a blast!!! Then Sister Hatch and I later had dinner and did studies and 12 uke! We also figured out that with all the companionships in Bergen that day we had given out 20 Book of Mormons in just one day! MIRACLES! Oh....funny story:))....We were talking to this guy, SUPER positive and then this bird poops all over him and then he just stands there and says, "You know, it was nice talking to you but I have to go" and it was that dang stupid bird that ruined it! He would've totally taken the Book of Mormon but then the bird came! Hahaha! I was cracking up!
Friday
Today we taught our investigator again and we read Alma 36 and talked about repentance and how repentance is change and how he is already in that process because he is in the process of changing (keeping his commitments) He has stopped smoking actual cigarettes which is awesome and then he has been reading the Book of Mormon every single day!!!! So it was an awesome lesson! Then we contacted on the streets until we had to take our bus to a pizza place where we met with some less actives and the elders to eat dinner! That was super good! They are hilarious! Then we played sport (volleyball) which was also really fun! It was a good day all around!
Saturday
Today we had our språk class and then we taught a lesson to a potential investigator. However...we quickly found out that he isn't really interested in the gospel but is really lonely and is sad that he isn't married... so I felt like I was more of a counselor and I tried bringing it back to the gospel. He would say, "I am so lonely" and then I would just respond with, "Well we are never alone. We always have God" Yea...I'm not cut out to be a counselor but that's okay! Then we helped one of our ward members clean the church building and then did weekly planning!
Sunday
Today we had Relief Society first, Sunday School and then the primary program! We talked about missionary work in Relief Society and it was really good! Then we had the primary program and I love the primary songs! There's always the one kid that makes it a show for everyone! So that's always fun! Then we had dinner, went to the Jensons and then did 12 week!
Today
Today we might go take a ferry somewhere! So that will be fun!
Have a great week! GOD IS GOOD! Love you all lots and miss you tons!
