This...is Norway: "It all goes back to math and ministering" , and... the M 🍫

Heisann alle sammen!

Transfer news! Sooooo turns out I moving again this transfer which was definitely not expected since I've only been in Bodø for one transfer, but here we are haha:). I will be heading to Trondheim and be serving with Søster Schnek! Woot woot! She was my STL (Sister training leader) this last transfer and she is just the best! So now we will serving as STLs together! I'm super sad to be leaving Bodø because it is literally the best! I have loved serving here and the members are incredible! I'm also sad to be leaving Søster Washburn! We definitely had lots of fun 😅, but she will be training so that will be awesome! As for that, this was the week!

- So for those of you that know Darren Twede (my dear father:), his slogan, in a way of speaking, is "it all goes back to math amd ministering." So this week, one of the other missionaries challenged us to do WWJD×2 (What Would Jesus Do and Why Would Jesus Do it) and find opportunities for service this week. I immediately thought of my dad when they challenged this and just laughed because the amount of times it really has gone back to math and ministering is amazing :). Thanks dad!

- As for "the M", we got to go eat dinner with some members this week and they introduced us to some of the best chocolate ever! You know how we have M&Ms? Well this chocolate is "the M" and let's just say is it amazing and M&Ms will never be the same. I am forever grateful:).

- Got to take studies in a cemetery! We decided to explore a bit this week and decided to go take our study time by a church, only then to find it had a cute cemetery! So we found a bench and as we studied, some people walked through and they were so nice! We got to talk to some of them a little bit and it was awesome! Who knew cemeteries were the place to be :).

So this week when I was reading in the Book of Mormon, I was in where Alma was testifying to Korihor that there is a god. Korihor was not convinced and kept demanding a sign and this what Alma said to him:

"The scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator." (Alma 30:44)

Søster Washburn and I help with the Facebook page "Kom til Kristus" and try messaging people who have commented on our posts. One of them was talking about how they believe in facts, not religion. I thought it was funny because for those of you who don't know, I love math and science and hope to study engineering. With that, you need all the facts you can get. The amazing thing about it though is that the more I learn about these things, the more it has actually built my testimony that there is a God. How could the earth and the planets themselves be created by pure chance and luck? They couldn't have. It was through a Divine Creator who is the source of all facts and truth. When the world becomes confusing and crazy, it is Christ that we can turn to to find truth and clarity.

I hope you guys have a great week! Glad i dere!

Kia Kaha and just keep swimming:)
