This week was awesome!
We set a Baptismal date for Bjørn which was great, he's receiving a lot of support from his family now which is awesome! He's doing great and this week the bishop gave the opportunity to come speak at a youth fireside. Let's just say, he killed it! I was so happy for him and grateful he shared his life story with the youth. He let them know he hasn't had an easy life but that he still never got into drugs or crime even though he was surrounded by it all growing up. He always felt like God was watching over him but he just didn't know how to better connect with Him until now. When my companion and I started coming to his house he said he could feel the positive energy we carried and it just emulated every where we went. He said he knew it wasn't normal for two 20 year old boys to pay to leave their life and families to go around and talk to people about Jesus, so he wanted to learn more. Then when he read the Book of Mormon in Alma 32 where it compares faith to a seed he connected really well with that. And now he said he has come to know that this church is true and wants to be baptized on the 12th day of December! All the kids were so engaged and were asking so many questions, it was awesome. The bishop was just as excited and thought he did such a great job. Then he started talking about his time as a world champion weight lifter it was so funny, all the kids were so impressed.
This week we also did a lot of planning for zone conference and preparing presentations and assigning musical numbers, the conference was amazing! We talked about consecration and how we need to be "all in" not just as missionaries but as members and decide right now the path we want to go on. Very inspiring and uplifting! President Tew is such a legend and can be the funniest coolest guy but then invite the spirit into the room in an instant. Mad respect for that guy. Other than that we've been filming a lot video ideas for FB which should be good. I never would have thought I'd be editing and filming videos on my mission but that's what's working so I'm just gonna go with the flow. Hope you all have a good week 🙌🏽
