I hope you all have had a good week! It is always great to hear from you. :)
My
week has been really good! No migraines, thankfully!! Ha ha! We feel so
blessed right now- things are going so well! We have a lot of member
referrals, a lot of progressing investigators, and a lot of miracles
taking place. It's wonderful! :)
Bob is doing well. He is getting nervous for baptism
because it is coming up really fast! But he has the desire and we
haven't felt inspired to set his date back yet, so we will see.
Apparently his family (who lives in Eastern Norway) is going through a
hard time and it's really sad. He is still making good progress though.
As we were planning last night, we felt like we needed to kneel down and
ask if we should push his date back at all, but when we were done
praying, the 8th still felt right and everything thing else felt wrong.
He is such a good person! We ate waffles with him yesterday after church
and we had a really good time. He is going to be a great member! :)
Please keep him in your prayers!
That girl I mentioned last week- Adele- we were able
to meet with her quite a bit and get a baptismal date with her! She has
a goal set to be baptized on the 22 of September. She fits in great
with the YSA, just like Bob! :) The last time we met with her, we had a
really good chat and we got to know her really well. :) Her birthday is
the 16 of September, so we decided to talk to one of the members here
who bakes to invite the three of us over to make a birthday cake
together! We thought it would be so fun! :)
We had the opportunity to go visit a member family
this week- the Andersens. It was the coolest dinner ever. It wasn't the
food or anything like that that made it great- they had their less
active son, their non-member son and their non-member and very
interested neighbor there! It was incredible! We had a teach with their
neighbor, Kari, and it was so good! The less active son, Trond, even
helped by explaining the Book of Mormon promise to her. It was such a
powerful teach! Kari began to cry and was very excited to read in the
Book of Mormon. We look forward to working with ther in the near future!
:)
Another miracle we experienced this week took place
as we were out contacting. We didn't have a lot of time and we weren't
feeling a lot of inspiration as to where we needed to go, but we headed
back towards the main part of town and their we found a girl named
Victoria. She actually came to us and asked what we were doing. She told
us that she had once been Christian, had lost her faith, but wanted to
find it again. GOLDEN! :) So we sat down on a bench and taught her the
message of the Restoration- it was incredible and she was in agreement
with everything we said. She was very interested in meeting with us
again and we have an appointment for this evening! We are so excited! :)
As for our newspaper interview- it went really well!
We had a really nice conversation with the reporter and it was cool. He
took some dreamy pictures of us... it was kind of awkward... Ha ha!
Hopefully the article turns out well! We'll keep you posted! :)
Well, that's about all that is happening here, fam... It's great! :)
I hope all is well there- you are always in my prayers! I love and miss you all! Have a great week! :)
