Hey everybody hope y'all have been doing good!
This week was pretty frustrating but it happens! On Wednesday, I flew into Trondheim went and grabbed my luggage and then met up with my new companion. We drove straight to our flat dropped off my stuff and went to a teach, I was happy to be busy! We have this older member we are working with and he's such a nice guy, really funny and he plays the accordion so that's cool. Thursday it was pretty sad, we got a message saying we had an online meeting and so all the missionaries hopped on and President Tew was crying pretty hard. He proceeded to tell all of us that because of all the craziness that certain missionaries will be going home. He then continued to name off a list of all the missionaries heading home in the next day. Luckily I'm still here and I'm chilling! Super sad though quite a few of the people here had to be flown home which really stunk. The missionary that replaced me in Alesund went home and then they had to do an emergency transfer to cover him. We don't have a lot of missionaries in our mission as it is and then to loose so many along with a lot of senior companions it's hard. After that we were told we were being placed in quarantine as well which was even worse! It's so hard to do missionarimy work when your in your apartment all day but we're trying our best and thinking about all the different ways we can find people. So grateful for technology and that we have that blessing to be able to forward the work of the Lord in a time like this! I've been reading and studying a ton which is good for me and I've learned so much which is great but I'm starting to go a little crazy being inside all day so you guys have to help me out! Send me emails videos funny stuff things to do whatever to keep me busy and if you need help with something I can do just let me know and I'd love to help! Other than that we do a lot of teaches over skype and messenger which is good but ya just get sick of it after a while but this is going to be for a while so I better get use to it. But just some thoughts over the week, I'm so grateful for president Russel M Nelson and his guidance for each one of us. Homeboy knows what he's talking about and he's helping us! He listens to Heavenly Father and was inspired to give us Come Follow Me, prepared us for this next general conference and has been telling us to take our vitamins! Let's continue following him and his council and everything will be alright. That made me think of where I'm at in the Book of Mormon right now, I'm at the end of Alma where the people of Ammon are starting to get scared of the Lamanites and they start thinking about breaking the covenant they made and fight against the Lamanites. But Helaman, being a stud, and a follower of God decides to calm them down and say look you guys made a covenant to never fight again. Don't break that and not only lose the war but lose your souls. Let's trust in God and ask for guidance. That's when he gets the idea to have their sons, who didn't make a covenant with God, to take up arms and defend their Families their Freedom and their Liberty! So that's exactly what happens, the 2000 stripling warriors defended what was right and end up beating the Lamanites and are all saved and watched over. In crazy scary situations we need to trust in the Lord and his prophets to guide and direct us on what we need to do. Just like one of my favorite primary hymns says " Follow the Prohet, he knows the way!" I've really had to rely on that knowledge and I bear testimony that Russel M Nelson is a prohet of God and he WILL help us be ready for whatever comes. Keep it up and SEND ME EMAILS AND VIDEOS so I don't go insane haha have a great week and wash your hands!
