Golden Moments

Kjære Alle Sammen,
 
-Språk (language) study with an actual Norwegian! (Sophie has been helping us with pronunciation)

-visiting members that live way out in Hønefoss and contacting in the sentrum over there. I talked to a 7th day Adventist missionary- that was fun! 

- We helped a less active mix cement and make fancy leaf-stones. And she is American so she fed us sloppy joes. We actually had a couple of member dinners this week! it was great! 

- We called Sister Vega (my mission best friend- who I trained) and she sounds SO GOOD! Also We took the whole conversation in Norwegian, and she said that My Norwegian is a lot better! That is exciting- because sometimes you don't really see the growth in yourself.

- We started teaching Geir again! He is one of my favorite Norwegians. Sister Wood & I taught him a while back, and then we was in church and we got another appointment with him. Love that guy! 

- We had a musical number in Church and it went really well. Having the violin here is really handy and I hope that maybe something that I play can touch somebody else's heart. 

And also I really want to share a cool experience. We were in Asker sentrum contacting. We talked to this nice lady from Africa who had a super strong faith in Christ. We couldn't talk to long, because she was busy, but we gave her our card and she said she wanted to come to church. Then lady, we walked past these two teenagers. I looked to sister Ulrich after we had passed them, and was like "how do you feel about those two guys?" and she said, "I feel like we need to talk to them." so we turned around and they had also turned around and were walking the other way. And we just walked after them and started talking. They were selling their heavy metal CDs for their band. They have been on tour all around Europe and are now in Norway. They were not interested in God at all and said that smoking and drinking makes them happy- it is so weird how some people center their lives on such frivolous things... Anyway, we had an interesting conversation, they have talked to missionaries in about every country that they've been in. We hope they will remember us and listen to a little bit more of what the next missionaries they meet have to say. Anyway- we get on the bus to go home and the lady that we had talked to, came! Sister Ulrich talked to her the way home and told her about the Book of Mormon. She only had a Norwegian one, but said we could give one to her later. We all got off on the same stop. She was walking in front of us, and we were just talking about everything that happened, and then I said, well I have an English book of Mormon with me now! So we ran up to her and shared the book and continued walking together home. Turns out this lady is our next door neighbor! Sweet! We haven't been able to meet with her quite yet, but this week for sure. The Lord's plan is perfect. I am so glad we followed the prompting to talk to those two boys and that God lead that woman to us again. I love being right in the middle of God's miracles. It is truly thrilling! 

Love you all!
