Whatttup everyone this week was sick!
Super spiritual and fun for sure! We have a baptismal date set for our guy Luke and he's so stoked about it and it should be really good. We had some realty good lessons with him this week and we're able to focus one just on the Savoir and how he has impacted Luke. And it was truly amazing to see how much he realized the changes in his life purely based off of building a relationship with Christ. It's been such an amazing experience for me to be the tool in the Lords hands to help a guy who is hungry for the gospel change his life around and start making sense of this crazy world we live in. He's so excited to get baptized and is sharing it with all his buddies and the people he lives with. It's so cool because there was a quote given by one of the brethren that said " You become truly converted to the gospel when you begin to share it with those around you!" Which is so true Luke is a STUD!
Then we have a whole different story with this other girl that we've been working with. We started playing coed softball with this team that was led by a couple in our ward and we met this ysa girl and after talking about the Sunday meeting the next day I said, "Hey you should totally come to church tomorrow it would be sweet" and she was like, "I'm not really Christian but I'll come". Since then she has loved it and wants to learn more about what we do. So we invited this other YSA member to join us and we've been going on hikes while talking with her about the gospel and answering a few questions. The two of them went to high school together and have been hitting it of and becoming better friends. Then the other day out of no where she's like "guys I hear you have like specific sit down lessons you teach people? I want that?!" We were like ok when can you meet? And she's like, "I have 1 hour in between work and practice so I can then and if you need more time we can meet again the day after". We said alrighty sounds good, we can do that! So we're solidly teaching her and she's loving it and reading the book of Mormon tons and just eating it up. It's cool to see these people who have never had religion in their life just so engaged and wanting to know more it's so inspiring and motivating!
We played a ton of beach volleyball this week, they seemed to like us after we played them even though we were the Mormon Missionaries from American. Then they asked us if we played American football and I got pumped. They had had a few beers of course so they were all pretty tipsy and got hyped and tried to start tackling. This one dude came flying at me and I juked him out and he just slid in the grass. The next play this bigger dude came flying down the middle and one of our buddies just went body to body and got trucked it was so funny so I chased the guy down and then picked him up and dropped him and everyone was going crazy, it was so funny. Other than that we drove down to Presidents house in Oslo for interviews and had some good chats about life, the guy is a stud I love him. The next day we woke up and took him shopping! With the new rules with missionary attire we decided to help him get some blue shirts and some nice slacks to look fresh. Then we chatted and had some good laughs with them and made some salmon and potatoes for dinner and they loved it! Super solid week for sure, love being a missionary its dope. Love yall and send me an email I would love that :)

We went shopping with President Tew for our new blue shirts, played a lot of sand volleyball and made some salmon and potatoes for him and Sister Tew.
Jergen's on a road trip to see everyone before he leaves on his mission to Italy. I was hoping to serve in Bergen before he left but it was so good to see him.
