Need More Chocolate!

 Hei alle sammen!

This week was kind of crazy so we're just going to jump right in! 

This week we've continued our studies in Norwegian and let's just say... there's progress! My comp and I taught our second lesson in norsk this week and we made it through! La oss gå! We also have been starting to work more on grammar, tones, pronunciation, etc this week which has been a little overwhelming but we're just taking it one day at a time :).

On the more fun side of things, my district and I learned a lot more about the food in Norway this week! Apparently, the chocolate is amazing and as I quote my teacher, "When Norway decides to do something, they do it right." So now my district and I are super excited to try the food in Norway! However, now the MTC food is becoming less appealing (not like it was in the first place) but that's okay because t-minus 2 weeks til we're off to Norge! Woot woot!

So, this week we had Bishop Causse come and speak to us and it was amazing! He shared a lot about instead of focusing so much on the language, and to focus more on learning how to speak the language of the Spirit and allow yourself to have more experiences with Jesus Christ and His Atonement. He said that when we first learn the language of the Spirit and allow Jesus Christ and His Atonement to work within our lives, the language will come. 

"God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called." -unknown

At the end, Bishop Causse played an arrangement of Come, Come, Ye Saints on the piano and it was amazing! While he played it, I read through the lyrics and I invite you all to read through them because hymns are truly amazing and the wording is very powerful. I know that if we remember to keep the focus on Christ we will be blessed and everything will work out.

I hope you all are doing great! Keep me updated!

Kia Kaha! Just Keep Swimming!
