Week 49 Drammen Norway (Back in Quarantine)

Aye everyone wassup! 
      It was a good week!  We did get some bad news with COVID, we've been put back in quarantine and are not allowed to proselyte. We have to be invited by members to teach which kidna stinks because we were just getting back into really building relationships with people. It's such a slower pace but it's ok I just have to have patience. 
       So before I left to Drammen, we visited a place called Hell in Trondheim. It was funny and we took some pics there and then we headed to the airport so I could catch my flight to Oslo. I got to the airport and the flight attendant said right before boarding that I had to have a mask to get on the airplane. I was like uh I'm out of luck there, sorry. So I started tripping and I thought I wasn't going to be able to get on the plane but then she went somewhere and found me a mask which was nice of her.  I arrived in Drammen safely and I'm excited to be here! It's the biggest ward in all of Scandinavia and it's sweet. We have young single adults, young men and young women and a primary! The ward is really helpful which is good but the work here is pretty slow so I'm going to have to work hard to change that. It's just hard when we have to wait on other people to text us to meet up and teach but that's ok. Our Facebook ads are working pretty well and we have a new friend we're starting to teach who messaged us, he's from Birmingham and he's dope! He's loving the Book of Mormon which is great!.
       In this area the missionaries are invited over for dinner so much, it's a blessing! Norway is so stinking expensive so I'm always trying to save money and be smart with groceries but we've been blessed with 3 dinners a week which is so nice. We have a good set of weights in this apartment so hopefully I can stay in shape with all these yummy meals, it's so nice of the members . Nothing too crazy interesting but this week is going to be busy with tons of meetings and splits and getting to know members! We did some service for a YSA and we were taking off baseboards and crown molding in a room and I caught a 2×4 to the forehead and cut my hand in the process so Elder Meldrum got a good laugh at that. Also, there's a guy who coaches an American football team and he invited us to come help at practice. I couldn't be more happy to get to throw around a football again. My  comp and I are homies and we get along well so that's good. He played soccer for Lone Peak and our dads know each other from work so it's a good time. Today we are driving down to Oslo to go on a hike with the AP's, President and Sister Tew and hit some swaggy second hand stores that are like famous so that'll be fun. Hope ya'll have a good week!
