My Dad recently asked me where I go for emails. And before today it
was always the local library! However, now the library is closed until
February, so we found a little cafe today. I'll do my best to write what
I can!

Awesome Christmas lights!

This past week has been simply wonderful. I believe it was Spencer
W. Kimball who stated that when
the Christmas season arrives, there is
an outpouring of the Spirit across the entire world. And that even
includes Mo i Rana! We have had many incredible miracles happen this
past week! To begin with, I passed the fated Norwegian Driver's License
test! Not many missionaries are able to pass it, but by the grace
of providence, the test was passed! One funny note though: in the
license picture we're not allowed to smile. So instead I decided to make
a huge frown since "no smiling" was allowed (youtube video "Validated" -
highly recommended!). But the woman wouldn't allow a huge frown either;
aww darn. Hehe! A cheesy toothless smile sufficed in any case.

Another miracle this week was that the Assistants came down for
splits with us. Elder Carmichael recommended some Norwegian
pronunciation books from the library: and let me tell you my Norwegian
has blossomed! It's all in the vowels for Norwegian. Not only am I able
to pronounce things correctly, but I can also discern the different ways
other Norwegians pronounce their vowels, and therefore my comprehension
increased as well! I speak with much more confidence, and the responses
I receive from the people is a day and night difference! It's
wonderful! The Lord truly blesses His missionaries!
As for Christmas, we will most likely spend it with our new convert
Andrew :D. He will be baptized
tomorrow in a fjord, which is extremely
exciting! I'll make sure to get some pictures. Yes Mom, we'll Skype for
Christmas. I love you all so much! Know that the Christmas feeling is
the Spirit of Christ. Through His gift to us we can be at complete peace
and have true happiness! Ha en god jul!
