Heia alle sammen!
Last pday my comp found an old rusty pocket knife on a hike we were on and decided to try and renew it. So this week our evenings have been spent trying to scrub rust off an old knife haha:). Anyway, here's how the week went!
- On the way home one day we were walking into our apartment building and were in the elevator with a young Norwegian couple. The guy saw our tags and asked about the name of the church and then what we do as missionaries. So we got to explain what we do and ask them if they were religious. They said no, but were open to those kind of things. So, we asked them if they would want to learn more. They said yes! They also asked to get our number (best question a missionary could get:), mirakler skjer!
- Had Zone conference and Stake conference this week and it was so fun! I got to see members from Oslo and Trondheim which made me so happy! I hadn't seen some of them in a while and so it was awesome to catch up:).
- Had another lesson with one of our friends about baptism. They aren't necessarily ready for baptism but we were able to explain the difference between baptism with our church and other churches and why it's important. It went pretty well and they seem to understand it a little better. They don't necessarily want to be baptized right now but they are willing to learn more which is good.
Ok this week has been a week of learning and especially after an experience I had on Saturday. I was asked to play a musical number for the adult session at Stake Conference and unfortunately, after driving an hour to the conference, I realized right before the meeting started that I had forgotten my music. Yep, panic mode. I ended up playing a completely different piece that I hadn't played in months and let's just say there were many prayers said. It ended up being enough, but of course I was not happy and felt really bad. Right then I asked Heavenly Father what I needed to learn. Well, after the meeting ended, a member came up to me thanking me and telling me that it was exactly what he needed and felt the Spirit so strong. He said that it didn't matter that it wasn't perfect, but it was that I had the Spirit and people could feel that. Right then I knew that I was never supposed to play the piece before. I was meant to play the other one because I had no choice but to rely on the Spirit for help to play it. At zone conference we learned that we are always learning. This experience testified to me that I still have so much more to learn. Can't say that I would always like to learn in a stressful way, but if that's what it takes to help become even more closer to my Savior, no matter what it is, it is worth it.
Glad i dere! Hope you all have a great week!
Kia Kaha and just keep swimming:)
