Every single time me and søster earl needed a little unifying this week, god helped us out. He would place a HUGE spider somewhere in our vision and then wait for us to work together to kill it . He is a wise man. Every time after we killed the spiders, we could not help but laugh and call all of the missionaries in our district and tell them about our feat. I think it is interesting how motstand brings people together. While spiders are a very prevelant enemy in our lives, here is what happened while we were out fighting the more eminent evil: 1-We visited this viking church on a viking island last monday. How lucky are we? It was very special and we found a lot of wildlife (like this jellyfish). There are a ton of legends with this church and land. It is so fun to learn about them. 2- We took the ferry to stavanger, that was very fun! I love taking the ferry. While we were in stavanger for zone conference, søster earl told some members that I could rap. OOPS. The next thing...

This weeks overall message was: Just Look Around. Almost everyday when I asked someone if they believed that there was a God who watched over them someone would respond, "Just look around." Wow. Powerful. One of my favorite answers I got from a pagonistic man was, "God is everywhere. Just look at the sky. What is holding it up?" So true. God really is everywhere. We just have to open our eyes and marvel at the creations he has set before us. Luckily I was able to do that quite a lot this week - both the physical creations and the spiritual creations he had in store. 1- LANGFOSSEN. Last monday we hiked the tallest waterfall in Norway. We went with the philipinno members of our grenn. It was so fun. We did not get to the top because everyone needed to capture the moment with 100x selfies. That is okay though. It made it easier for me to be still and know god in his creations. The hike was phenomenal. It was super rainy and then super not rainy. LUCKY. THe entir...

I have never been more tired in my life. This past week was unreal. Our bodies, minds, spirits, everything were so drained all week long. It was super crazy to see how hard it was to just walk up the next hill to the next house, how much determination it took to knock on one more door. But we made it! And now another week is down in the books. 1- We hiked Himakånå last monday. AKA The House Wife. We went with three members of our grenn and it was so fun! the sun was out the whole entire time and the view was great! of course, to complete the experience, we drove the one hour drive in the RV. Such a special treat. Today we are hiking the tallest waterfall in Norway. But by the time you read this I will be home and proselyting again. 2- WE ATE MAC AND CHEESE FOR LUNCH. something so simple, but wow. i have missed mac and cheese. i do not know why they do not sell it in norway!! 3- RAIN. It poured rain every day all day pretty much after  monday . We had to knock on a ton o...

It has been crazy to see how God really knows what we want..even if we do not pray for it. This week has been nothing but miracles ... and my usual problems haha. 1- Last monday we tried to go to åkra beach. we have knocked doors there before, but we wanted to relax on the sand. We rode a bus for 45 min and then realized we would not have time to even relax before we had to turn around. So we went home, cozied up, and watched a thrilling movie called "The Testaments". I cried the whole time. Reminded me too much of home. Every time the little girl said PaPawna it was like a stab to my heart. Sad. I will not watch that movie ever again until I home. 2-  Monday  night we knocked on this guys door again for the second time, he let us come back and teach him the next day. It was really a miracle because we were hoping to go to stavanger  monday , but our president said we could not. because of that, we had time to knock on his door and we got a lesson out of it! 3- O...
