Kjære alle!
Holy mackerel, there is so much that has happened this week I cannot describe everything.
Well,
last Wednesday I received a call to serve in Oslo - white-washing our
area (which means that both my companion and I came from different areas
and come together to figure out everything in Oslo). Quite
overwhelming, however after a week or two, everything will be under
control again!
Oslo is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever been
in. Beautiful green, beautiful buildings and even beautiful people!
We've got it all here in Oslo. We even have some crazies come up to us
randomly and start talking at us while we are teaching people on the
street. Yeah, we didn't get that in Mo. However there are always people
on the street ready to hear our message - that's certainly a change from
Mo! What a blessing it is to know that God prepares us for our
assignments, and will help us where we fall short. Sometimes you just
need to hold on!!

| The F. family!! |
Mo i Rana had really become my area - I was
comfortable, confident and just knew how to work that area! We had 14
people in church on Sunday!! The whole church was filled, we didn't have
any more chairs. This was in itself a miracle. The Lord has surely
answered my prayers that more people would come to church regularly. We
had some absolutely amazing families there - and I am going to miss them
so much!! May God bless them with answers to their prayers and desires
for the future. After watching The Testaments with the F. family - the
Spirit was extremely strong. I testify that Christ did visit the
Americas after His resurrection. The witness of the Spirit is far too
strong to deny. I know that the Book of Mormon was written to help us
now, in our day.
Calling home for Mother's Day was wonderful! Skype
is amazing - it was so good to see *almost* my whole family (sorry Dad
and Lara!). Every time I come in contact with them I am filled with
gratitude for the blessings of the Temple that assures me that nothing
will permanently separate us in or out of this life. I love my family so
much!
Leaving Mo i Rana left me sad and reflective. I am
going to miss everyone there (even those that never said Hi back to me
;). The Lord truly prepared me and transformed me through that area. I
feel so different and uplifted by the Spirit. The very same will happen
here in Oslo.
Today is 17. Mai - Norwegian Independence Day. So we have a parade to go to - more details to come!
This truly is Christ's true, original and now restored Gospel!
