A mormons bok of course! That is what our investigator did at least. LOL. But more on that in a little bit.

Another week down. Lots of memories in my pocket, wouldn't trade them for anything! Not a ton happened, and I am so tired haha so this one is going to be a little short. (we caught the 6 am bus down to stavanger today)
1-Yes, our investigator fell in his house, pushed his life alert button, and before he got rushed to the hospital, he had them grab his book of mormon! Can you believe that? That is crazy! When he called us to tell us we could not skype him we were kind of sad but then he told us he was in the haugesund hospital and we were so stoked! We went to visit him and he was so mad because he forgot to bring his reading glasses! We told him that it was way sick that he brought his book of mormon though. He wants to get baptized- so now we have two investigators who want to - but because of addictions they cannot. Which is sad, but their testimonies are strong and I am confident they will find their way.
2- We taught a lot of lessons, that was cool. One of our investigators came to church so that was a good time. She participated a ton in sunday school so that was awesome! We walked with her to church from her house...it was kind of cool actually because she said she would only walk to church if it was not raining. I have gotten rained on every single day for the past 4.5 months haha. I prayed, the sun was out, we walked to church and it stayed out until she got home from church. such a little blessing.
3- We taught a lesson to two of a member's family members. They have been visiting from the philippines so we needed the member to translate. It was way funny because when we would say something they would translate that and a ton more. Like we would say, "Jesus Christ performed miracles while he was on earth" and they would translate and say "Jesus christ performed miracles on the earth while he lived there and after he died he resurrected and there was an apostasy and ... " It was so funny we had no idea what was going on, but it was awesome still. It was a good experience.
4- I went on a way awesome run at night by the ocean. It was the most relaxing thing I have ever done. I am so lucky to live where I live. Transfers are next week so that is exciting. It will be awesome to see what happens!
5- Since i am in stavanger you know I am getting my rap game on. We went to a huge mall today and I decided I wanted to talk to these two guys who were working at a juice shop. I ordered a shake and gave them my name....sixpac. LOL we talked and I rapped for them and they followed my instagram and promised to come to my concert when I am famous. They also promised to come to church so that was fun. I love p days and stavanger i am in my element. 
HAHA just remembered I need to get my hair cut so I will email more next week. I am just with all of the stavanger missionaries and so I want to actually be here with them. It is the rare occasion where we actually get to see other missionaries instead of over skype! Here are some pics tho. Merry cold weather season. And happy thanksgiving! KOS DERE!!!

Hallo! LOL my norske is so good. Im not even kidding. Classes are way fun and I love it.  On friday  we had to teach our first investigator in Norwegian. It was super hard and I cried forever after it (so did everyone else). But all of our teachers were like CALM DOWN ITS ONLY THE SECOND REAL DAY! but we were just so discouraged haha because i think we all thought that the gift of tongues was an all or nothing thing so we all got way scared that we were not worthy or something hahaha. But now I can write almost all of my journal entries in norske and i can say all of my prayers fluently in norske. I can also understand almost everything my teachers say. - speaking of my teachers, my favorite teacher is Bro. Leighton. HE IS A BRITISH ELDER JOBEAR. THEY LITERALLY LOOK SIMILAR AND HIS ACCENT IS SO FUN. So we are kind of learning british norske but it is fun. My other teacher is Soster Isaksen and she is a native norwegian so it is scary to teach her (even though we have to e...

Family. This week has been quite the week. A lot of emotions. A lot of thought. A lot of a lot of things. 1- I am so homesick. Like super homesick. I went from only crying in the shower to crying all the time haha. We were at dinner at a members house and her friends asked if i was homesick and i could not choke back the tears haha. I have cried at 3 members houses so far and at one investigators house. That is cool. But i got a blessing from my branch president and he blessed me that I would know that while my family at home loves me so much, and while i am so lucky to have a family that i miss, now is not their time. It is my branches time to be my family and love me, but more importantly it is my time to rely on my brother who perfectly knows how to help me. I am grateful to have Jesus Christ in my life. I love to read my scriptures about him. I do not even drink water during personal study because I do not want to waste any time getting closer to him. It is crazy how i feel lik...

This week was the weirdest week of my entire mission. Almost nothing went as planned haha. We have a saying now though, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans." He laughed a lot this week.  1- FIRST AND FOREMOST: god answers prayers. transfers are this week and I GET TO STAY IN HAUGESUND. and not only that but, SØSTER WHEELER IS MY NEW COMPANION. and not only that but, ONE OF THE ELDERS FROM THE MTC IS OUR DISTRICT TOO. It is going to be so much fun. all weekend I prayed for these exact people to come here, and WOW. they did. it literally is too good to be true.  2- We went on a ferry ride with our whole district last monday in stavanger. we all bought a ton of smågodt (norwegian candy) and hopped on the boat. It was a four hour ride up a fjord where we saw prekestolen, rainbows, waterfalls, cities, and amazing mountains. The weather was POURING RAIN and SO WINDY. We refused to not be outside though. It was so funny because we could try our hardest to fa...
