Another week down, a good one but weird as well!
The sisters I came out with went home this week, which is so crazy! There's no way it's already been 18 months but apparently it has. We had some great turnouts with potentials we met up with, this one girl who's friends referred us to her asked US for the link to online church and then invited us over today! So we're going on a hike with her and some friends later today which will be good! We're planning on bringing up the Plan of Salvation because that's what her friend said she's wondering the most about so we'll see how that goes. The one guy we taught 2 lessons to last week sent us a message saying we can't talk to him anymore because his family got mad at him for talking to the "Mormon" cult but added that he thinks we're nice dudes so no offense. But its funny because he's a grown man and seemed like a solid dude so I don't know if it was his wife and kids that told him that or his parents but you'd think a 45 year old man could make some personal decisions on his own, haha. Light the World has been the plug recently, there's just so many ideas and it comes in handy when things get slow like yesterday. We didn't have much planned but then I looked at the calendar and it said, "sing songs with those around you and spread some cheer". If any of you know me, I don't know a lick about music but I didn't care. I got the idea to bake some cookies and set up a table in Sentrum's city center and sing Christmas carols and hand out free bags of cookies. Of course, every bag of fresh cookies had a pass along card with our number and Facebook Pages on there, it worked! We called up the other elders here got them on board and got er done. It was super rainy and wet but we handed out so many so hopefully someone shoots us a message. Not much other than that, just a lot of FB contacting and meeting up with people. I put out a picture in this helping service FB group saying I'm offering free service to help set up Christmas decorations, shovel snow, clean around the house and carrying heavy things and so many people commented and liked it so we have some service set up now which was good as well.
Christmas is so fun and such a good time!! I love being a missionary during the Christmas season because you begin to realize how grateful you are for every little thing around you. Hope you all have a good week! My address is Welhavens Gate 2c, 0166 Oslo Norway if you guys want to send me your family Christmas cards I would LOVE them!
