Wow what a week!
I didn't have much time to write last week but we had a lot of lessons and teaches it was sweet! Our friend, who was self referred, is doing well and reading the Book of Mormon. Hopefully we can get a baptismal date with him soon. We also did a lot of finding because we knew we would be traveling a lot this week so we found 3 new people which was solid. Then we went to the golf range and hit a few balls last week with the member who is a pro golfer and owns a course here in Norway, which was a blast. She's an awesome member and golfer! I'm a bit rusty but finally hit some nice shots after a couple of hard slices.
Sunday night we caught our flight up to northern Norway for splits and Zone conference. We arrived in Harstad and went on splits Monday and grinded with Elder Ence and Graff. They're solid elders and good guys! My companion was able to meet his grandpa for the first time too, we have dinner with his moms aunt tonight and was able to say hi to his moms childhood friend while we've been up here. Then for P day we got the chance to visit the Lofoten Islands!! It was literally a chance of a lifetime and a dream come true for me, it is considered one of the most beautiful places on earth! We went on a dope hike and saw the city of Reine from the top of some mountains, it was amazing! The people who live here fish, hike and eat dried cod heads. Then we drove down to Bodø and will be having zone conference there tomorrow. Then after that we will fly down to Bergen and go on splits there then have the last zone conference for the transfer. It's always fun to be able to travel around and go on splits with people and hold zone conferences it's been a blast. Being on the Lord's errand is always amazing! I've been reading in the Book of Mormon in the war chapters. And it's crazy to see how many insights you can receive from chapters that are filled with so much fighting. One thing I have seen is how guided Moroni was during all the the wars he went through. He was patient, humble and relied so much on the spirit. Even during times of fighting and hatred he was listening to the whisperings of the spirit which was motivating to me to know that we can always rely on the spirit even in crazy times for both spiritual and physical things. Hope you all have a solid week and remember to rely on the spirit in all things.
