Heia alle sammen!
Ok, crazy last two weeks! Pday also got changed to Wednesday this week because we got to help out at a youth conference on Monday and Tuesday and it was so fun! Anyways here's the update!
- GENERAL CONFERENCE! It was so fun to watch conference! Had a little bit of a watch party for a session with one of our members and it was a good time. Looking forward to studying all the new talks now:).
- Accidentally drove into Sweden. On pday we decided to go to the Norway-Sweden border and well Google Maps decided to take us a different way and next thing we know we are illegally in Sweden. Luckily, all was good and no one got deported haha. I guess now I can say I've been to Sweden:).
- Baliaden! This is the big Norway youth conference and let's just say it is a party. For the dance, they go all out and get very dressed up. They have a formal dinner and it basically felt like a mini prom with all the guys in suits and girls in formal dresses. I felt very underdressed haha but it was super fun:).
- Met a guy on the street who already had a Book if Mormon and knew quite a bit about the church. So we had a good conversation with him and by the end we were able to invite him to church in Fredrikstad (he was just visiting Moss)!:)
- Our friend came to church again this week but did not faint, woot woot! We also had another lesson with her and a member from the ward which went well:).
Well, this week I wanted to talk about one of my favorite talks from conference. There were a few I really liked and one of them was "Spiritually Whole in Him" by Sister Johnson. I had always heard the phrase, "Thy faith hath made thee whole" but I always had thought about it in a physical and spiritual sense together, not necessarily how she described it as just being spiritually whole. "I can be whole while I wait for healing if I am wholehearted in my relationship with Him." There is a person that we have met recently and they have been struggling to be made whole for a long time. Unfortunately, this "wholeness" may not come in this life and it's heartbreaking. I don't think I've ever prayed more for one person and how we as missionaries can help them because it can be really hard to feel whole when you still struggle in a more physical sense. But luckily Sister Johnson helped give some guidance. "All will be physically and emotionally healed in the Resurrection. But will you choose now to be whole in Him?" That's all it takes. It's always been the simple but powerful principle of faith. We can still find wholeness despite not being all physically put together and that is because of Jesus Christ. He has always been the answer to every question, concern, doubt, fear, etc. No matter how hopeless or complicated things may get, all will be made whole through Him.
Glad i dere! Hope you all have a great week!
Kia Kaha and just keep swimming:)
