Kjære venner,

couple of highlights from this week:

-it was our English fast this week again, and it wasn't even that difficult! When you have a companion that is willing, it makes all the difference.

-I feel like we are really friends with our investigators. And that makes sharing the gospel easier and more natural. Our investigator Amina fed us dinner after a lesson one night (rice and shrimp that was a little spicy... a little taste of Africa!) and also we went and visited J A and he gave us the way popular norwegian frozen pizza- except gluten fri. We met his kids on Saturday (he invited them to come play soccer with us and also asked us to give them some church pamphlets. whata missionary!) and he also told us when he wanted to be baptized. August 8th. I hope I am still in the area or close enough to be able to be there! 

-it was the 4th of july. and so we bought a water melon! and sang the National Anthem together as a district.

-i guess it was last week, but I passed my driving test and have a norwegain license now! 

-The whole week we didn't have very much success in finding people. We hadn't found any solid people the whole week. Last night after we visited a less-active, we decided to go to sentrum to find. We only had like 15 minutes till curfew. we were literally the only car in the whole parking lot. But we got out and there was a man just sitting down at a table. We began to talk with this man and told him about the Book of Mormon. He is from iceland, and said we could meet again next sunday. Miracles happen in these days! 8:45 on a sunday night, and the Lord answered our week long prayer of finding a new person to teach.

There is real peace that comes from being in church surrounded by people that are sincerely trying to improve their lives and come closer to Christ. I felt the spirit speak peace to my soul as I partok of the sacrament. I love the peace that god gives to me through the comforter. It is real. I hope that each one of you this week will take some time to be still and know that God is there.

Med Kjærlighet,

Søster Williams
