OKAY HALLO! This week was definitely a weird one haha. I have been soooo up and down with my feelings. Some minutes i am stoked to be here and other moments i feel totally inadequate to be here. But you will here about both of those. 1.  on thursday  night our "fake" investigator dumped us and that sucked a ton. But it was whatevs. But  on saturday  night Bro.

MOM! Hey! they are letting us email tonight and i am so excited. The mission is so fun. It is so hard. A lot harder than I could have ever anticipated. Especially norwegian :/ lolol but i just wrote my first lesson in norwegian today which is pretty cool. I have no idea what I am saying and it takes me like ten minutes to write one sentence but I am excited. My companion is awesome. I love her. We struggle together. Sometimes I want to come home a little bit but then I realize that I just want to be someone that heavenly father can rely on. So here I am. I only had three minutes to email but i will email you next week! Love you abbey
