"The sky is awake, so I'm awake, so we have to play!"🌌❄️

 Heia alle sammen! 

The sky's awake!! Saw the northern lights for the first time this week and it was magical :). They weren't super strong but it was still super cool! It definitely made for a fun but absolutely crazy week:).

- Exchanges with Søster Haycock! So on Monday, I flew down to Oslo to have exchanges with Søster Haycock in Samdvika and it was so fun! We tried going around talking with people and got some weird looks, but I guess that's how it goes haha. We also got to visit a lady who had a really fancy house and that was quite the adventure:). Basically it was just such a fun time with Søster Haycock!

- Zone Conference! So this conference we combined with one of the other zones and it was so fun! It was great seeing all the missionaries there and we got to do a white elephant exchange at the end which was interesting haha:). It was kind of a crazy long day, but I learned a lot from the presentations and it was a fun time:). 

- Mirakler skjer! So lately Søster Cox and I have been kind of worried about one of our friends who we lost contact with. I knew her from when I was in Bodø before and she is just amazing! We have been praying that we could get in contact with her again, but didn't know how other than text. Well, on Friday, we were at the library for a lesson and as we were walking past a café there, we saw her working! So we went in, kind of terrified because we didn't know how this interaction was going to go, but as soon as she saw us her face lit up! Apparently her Facebook got hacked and couldn't contact us and was praying that she would run into us, mirakler skjer! It was so cool and she ended up coming to church for the first time on Sunday:). 

Speaking of answered prayers, there were few things this week that I had been praying quite a bit about. For a long time, I have loved learning about prayer and how powerful and crucial that line of communication is with our Heavenly Father. This week I had a few very specific thoughts on my mind and I just needed maybe not complete answers but definitely guidance. With that said, this week taught me again how amazing prayer is. He hears you, He listens, and He does answer. He answers in a way that is so personal to you that shows how much He loves and cares for us. The answers don't always come when we want or they aren't always what we want, but they are what we need and they come when we need them most. He cares too much to leave us alone.

Glad i dere! God Jul! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! 

Kia Kaha and just keep swimming:)
