Heia alle sammen!
Ok, for those of you who don't not know, one of my favorite movies is "My Fair Lady". Now the reason why I mention this is because our ward put on a spring concert and a lady sang the song "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?" from My Fair Lady and I had the biggest smile on my face after not having heard that song in a while:). Anyways here's the week!
- We spent lots of time on the streets this week talking to people and had lots of good conversations. No one was quite interested in learning more right then but it felt so good to just have lots of good conversations about what we believe and it's really nice to have people who are willing to stop and talk and listen. Basically, we felt that we planted a lot of seeds for future growth:).
- Church was awesome! One of the inactive members came to church with her two friends. We had visited her not too long ago and her friend who was with her when we visited was actually the one to suggest that they go to church so it was so great to see them there:)!
- As mentioned earlier, the ward put on a spring concert on Sunday and it was so fun! We got to sing some Norwegian songs and they had a choir and other musical arrangements. One of our new friends actually came and that was actually the first time we saw her in person so that was awesome!
This week I was reading in the Book of Mormon about Ammon and how he was able to help the Lamanites learn more about Christ. At the point of the story where Ammon was with the servants of the king, their sheep had just been scattered, and all the servants were worried about being slayed, Ammon rejoiced and said "be of good cheer." Now we may not be where we are worried for our lives, but we definitely have those times where we pay more attention to what is wrong and let that discourage us. But here Ammon decided to see the greater perspective, he recognized the trial and scary situation as an opportunity to spread the light of Christ, and he did. It may be easier said than done, but through Christ any negative situation can be given a positive light. There is always a way to find hope through Christ.
Hope you all have a great week!
Kia Kaha and just keep swimming:)
