Yoo wassup everybody hope you guys aren't insane yet.
Stuffs been pretty much the same here until like 2 days ago! We had a potential person who we rang and she actually turned out to be solid! It was definitely a tender mercy from the Lord because it's been so frustrating not being able to do the Lords work! Especially me being stuck in a house for ever I was going crazy and needed some people to teach and she was golden! We taught her two lessons and the last one was amazing. She accepted a baptism date and said if she learns more that she would love to be baptized so that was dope! Let's just hope this virus stuff blows over soon or this new way of doing missionary work continues to work. Then today we received a message from our MTC teacher back home in Provo. He served in this area, Trondheim, and just texted one of his investigators he use to teach to see how he was doing. He said, "man that's really weird you texted me I literally just started searching more about the church and started reading the Book of Mormon again. Can we talk sometime about it?" So our MTC teacher sent us a message saying, "hey boys, here ya go!" Hahah it was great, it made our day. It's pretty dope to be a missionary in these crazy times! People are really starting to believe there is a God and their hearts are softening, it's sad it's taking a pandemic to get some desire but hey Heavenly Father knows what he's doing and it seems to be working. Miracles are happening in Norway!! I've had a lot of time to study and learn so much about the gospel during this quarantine! I've learned so much in this past week even though sometimes I want to go out so bad I'm grateful for the time I've had to study and learn. One thing that I've come to know more strongly is that we are children of God. I've known that my entire life but sometimes me being me, I need to know how and why. So I started studying a ton about it and I was reading in Acts and it talks about us being the "offspring " of God. And it got me thinking what is offspring because it's used in so many different ways so I looked it up in a dictionary the actual meanings of it. And right then my question was answered! The second definition said, "Offspring is a result of something that has come into existence." I had the strongest reassurance from the spirit that Christ is "the only begotten son" of God and we are his offspring or children :) I know God created us and that we are his children and I know he loves us all! He's got a plan for us no matter what's happening around us it's part of His plan. I would also love to give a shout out to all my boys who were sent home this past week, I love each of those boys with all my heart and am heartbroken to see their service in those different countries come to a pause. I have come to love the people of Norway with all of my heart and I would be devastated to leave, so I know how ya feel boys. Just know God has a plan for all of us, I feel blessed to have friends who are going through this with me at this time. We'll never forget this time in our lives.
Thank you to all who sent me emails and videos and stuff they made me so happy! Hope you all have so much fun with your families with all this time you have.
