Finally out of quarantine!!
I don't think I've ever wanted to go knock doors so bad in my life then during this past week. It was a good week and we got a lot done given the circumstances but man it was BORING. We stayed busy with President Nelson's give thanks challenge and messaging people on FB. I put out a post in this hiking group with people and I actually got tons of responses and an inactive member who's records aren't on our list reached out to me. We're going to meet up with her and her fiance today and go on a hike! We also had Thanksgiving this week!! Definitely the most interesting one I've ever had but it was good. An American member family back in Drammen sent me a message and said they'd be in Oslo for the day and wanted to drop "some stuff " off for Thanksgiving because they knew we were in quarantine. They hooked us up so fat it was a miracle; a full chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, yams without nuts, and some apple crisp to top her off. I was so hyped and thanked them so much. We had a bunch of lessons with members over messenger just to try and get to know them so that was good. The problem is that the list here has about 650 members on it but only about 90-110 are active so it's a hit and miss with people hahaha but that's just missionary work. Light the World started up again and we had a meeting with the area technology specialists and they showed us all the light the world stuff for this year and the videos were so good!!! So get ready for some fire stuff coming out soon. Christmas is such a wonderful time and it's even better being a missionary. Your focus is so different and I love the time I have to really focus more on the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ and study more about him. The song " O come, o come Emmanuel" has been on my mind so much lately. In Hebrew the word Immanuel means " God with us " and the last line of each verse says " Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel" or in other words "Rejoice Rejoice for God is with us" I am so grateful for that knowledge we have of knowing that our Redeemer lives and atoned for each and every one of us and that he is with us carrying us through life.
