"Rock & Roll Ikke Sant?!"
Kjære brødre og søstre,
This has been a fun-packed week. While meeting with a guy named Evan one evening, outside, a random hippy-grungy-kind of rough looking man walks up to all of us and is all like, "is this small talk?" hahah and we were just like, uh sure.. ahah he ends up talking to us for FOREVER. He went on and on about different rock stars of the past. And at one point during this bazaar encounter, he starts bawling about Jack daniel's death, and with passion in his soul, and with a fist in the air, he yells out, "ROCK & ROLL IKKE SANT?!" hahahaha (Rock & Roll am I right?!) This stranger also managed to hug Evan at least 12 times. By the end of his visit he also let us know that women are great and everything, but he likes men now...hahahha POOR EVAN!! hahahah We just about died. It had to be one of the strangest experiences of my life. This week we also had Zone Conference! And Elder Kearon from the Quorum of the Seventy came to talk to us! HE IS AMAZING!!!! He was so loving, kind, inspiring, uplifting, and just FUN.We all learned SO much from him and we will be implementing a lot of what he taught, into our work. I feel so lucky to be apart of THIS mission. I honestly couldn't imagine a better mission or mission President or anything! You really are called to where you are suppose to be. During our time learning we ended up watching this video, and I just LOVE it. YOU ALL ARE SO LOVED BY HEAVENLY FATHER!

Yesterday around 8:30 pm we decided to go out contacting, but it was super windy and stormy and søster bender said, "we just have to find the one" so we go and there was literally only 1 lady out in centrum so we are walking up to her and søster B asks what we should ask her, and i said "ask her if she has ever felt like she is missing something in her life" and we have never used that question before hahah so søster B goes and starts talking and she kind of fumbled a little bit and was almost just going to ask something else since that is a lot to say in norsk if youve never thought about it before...but she asked and the lady was all like, "YES ALL THE TIME" hahahahah and we were just like what do you think is missing?! and she was like a lot but Jesus and God really help! hahah it was so awesome. She ended up telling us that she studied with the JWs but never wanted to get baptised with them because they were too weird haha so we told her we wanted to meet with her, and now we are meeting with her on wednesday at her house and she was seriously SO excited. AND then, the rest of the time we were out there was literally no one out...haha it was crazy! she really was the ONE we needed to find. So ill let you know how that goes! The 23rd was also the celebration of the Midnight sun here in Norway. I set an alarm at 11:50 so I could atleast say I saw it! That alarm went off, I got up to turn it off and then went right back to sleep! haha Get em next year right?! hahaha but I have been LOVING the lightness lately! I haven't seen night-time in over a month! On Saturday Søster B and I also had just about nothing planned for the day, so we decided it would be a good time to ask our ward members if there was anything we could do for them! Our bishop and another family took the offer and let us do yard work! I actually freaking LOVED it! It was nice to do some manual labor and it was just different so it was FUN! We are trying to do that every Saturday if we can! haha We also JUST got our bikes fixed.....hahah Look out Moss, here come the missionaries on their bikes, with their way cute helmets and skirts! hahaha (I'm already dead sore from the ride up to the church hahah)
Ok cutie pies! Have an awesome week! Love you a tusen!
