Week 101 Bergen Norway

 See you soon!!!

Week 100 Bergen Norway

 Wow the time has come! 

    My last email, I will be super busy next Tuesday so this is my last time writing. It's crazy to think my time in Norway is done! I've learned so many things I don't even know where to begin. I am so eternally grateful for the time I have spent here in this amazing country serving the Norwegian people. Missions are the best thing in the world, you put a bunch of 18-21 year old kids in the most selfish time of their life and tell them to serve a group of people they have never met. It has been very humbling, spiritual, hard, and a blast all at the same time! I don't think there will be a day that goes by where I don't think about the amazing time I've had here. These two years have impacted my life in ways I never could have imagined and has set my life on a path that leads to true eternal joy! This past week was packed, we were in Stavanger for zone conference and had splits there. After we got home we had 2 days in Bergen. We were packed with appointments and running back and forth between lessons and less actives. Our friend is really praying about Baptism and seems like she really wants it but is just a little hesitant. It'll come sooner or later though! Then we woke up Saturday and drove to good ol Ålesund!! Agh, it was a dream to be back there in the summer. The drive is just insane and we had decent weather besides some fog on 2 of the sights we stopped at. But we had a packed schedule as well, we met up with a ton of former investigators that me and Elder Lindberg taught! This one dude named Roger would always just say, "come in" and we'd walk in and have a lesson for like 20 minutes then dip. And I called it literally pulled up just knocked then walked in and taught the plan of salvation and got his new number and walked out it was fire. Then we had church on Sunday and the gang pulled up! We had a whopping 10 in church it was sweet. Then we visited Kjell, Marianne and Kimbo, the father and son we baptized here and they are just the best!! Then we went on a hike with Fride and she just impresses me, she's literally the only young adult here and she just grinds. She reads and follows the commandments even though absolutely no one around her does it. Then we had an amazing drive home! Super solid way to go out. We're gonna grind this next week and finish strong. Love you all and see you next week 👀

Week 99 Bergen, Norway

 Another fire week in Bergen!

    We've had tons of time to contact on the streets this week it was a blast! We've been literally blessed with weather and it's like record breaking hot so that's been good to get a tan going. We played a lot of sand volleyball this week as well, we just pulled up to the court and smoked some people then got their Facebook. As my buddy Jim likes to say "kicking butt and taking names" literally. Then we had church and the rules are getting better here so more people pulled up it was awesome!! Then for the first time in 7 months we had in person zone conference!! So we are here in Stavanger and flew in yesterday and will have splits and zone conference here then head home for 2 days then road trip 8 hours to Ålesund which was my first area! We had like a zone p day it was dope, we played sand volleyball and basketball then grilled some food. President and Sister Tew pulled up and President Tew was throwing heat on the court, that man is a legend. 67 and still showing us young bucks how to play! Then outta no where some Norwegian dudes pulled up and we pulled the typical play to teach and President Tew was like " alright were stacking our team" and picked the 6 best of us and then we smoked them so they had to listen to the first lesson and take a book of Mormon then we got their Facebook and Instagram. Again kicking butt and taking names! Hope you all have a solid week! I think I only have 1 more of these or something.
