Remember!

 Hei alle sammen!

So this week was super packed but I don't have a whole lot of time so let's get going!

This week I got to drive! Was kind of weird since I haven't driven in a little while but it was pretty cool!

I got to take a little trip down to Moss this week! Little background... a member in Moss served in Utah years ago and came to know my dad and his family really well and so it was so fun to visit with him and ask about his mission. The food was also amazing! Tusen takk Eddie!

Eddie!

We also got to visit quite a few members this week which was so fun! It has been super helpful getting help from them with the language and also great to get to know more people from the ward :).

We had zone conference this week! So this transfer our focus was sacrifice. I got to do a lot more study on the Savior and the sacrifice he made for each and every one of us. I also was able to think more on what sacrifices were made not only by me but by others in order for me to be here in Norway serving a mission. I have a lot of thoughts but some of the main ones are:

- REMEMBER. Remember why you chose to serve, remember why you chose to sacrifice to be here, remember those who also sacrificed for you to be here, and most importantly remember what Christ infinitely suffered and sacrificed for every single person.

- Sacrifice is something that gives us strength not sadness. One of the most important things we can do is to remember the joy that comes from sacrifice and using that helps give us strength to keep pressing forward when it's the most difficult. 

- Gratitude is essential. It may seem like we are asked at times to sacrifice a lot but in the long run, the blessings outnumber the sacrifices. Remember to look for the tender mercies EVERY DAY. Recognize Christ's hand constantly working in your life.

- Last, but most certainly not least, Christ. He is the greatest example of what sacrifice means. He gave his all to us and though we can never repay Him for the price, we cam continually show our love and appreciation for Him by giving our all. It is through Him we find strength, peace, and comfort. It is through Him that we can find true joy in sacrifice.

Love you all, Kia Kaha and Just Keep Swimming
