I forgot to tell about my district last week, but we are with the Swedish missionaries. There are 7 of them and we get along really well. 3 sisters and 4 elders. One of the Sisters played Joseph Smiths daughter in the Restoration movie so that's cool. One of the elders is in the Army and went to west point so he leads our workouts on mondays and we are all buff now. Also we got 2 new elders in our zone yesterday who are going to Iceland and one of them is John Bytheways son. Oh and Elder Love is in my zone so it's cool to have someone from home here.
Every Saturday my zone(North/East Europe plus Mongolia and Trinidad) plays soccer against all the Russian missionaries. There were over 100 elders playing and it was crazy crowded but so fun! Sisters aren't allowed to play in it so we were the soccer moms on the sidelines and it was so entertaining! It was a tie this week, but next week we'll definitely win even though the Russians outnumbered us 2 to 1.
I honestly cannot believe I've only been out for 2 weeks. It feel like I've been here for so long. We taught our first members/natives this week and it went so well. We were both surprised by how much we understood and how much we know in such a short amount of time. We can have a conversation and teach a lesson all in norsk and 2 weeks ago we didn't know anything. The gift of tongues is real. A couple days ago all of us Nords wanted to hear news about the outside world and about our teachers girlfriend and he made us individually teach him a lesson using no english before he would tell us anything. And when we did, he only told us in Norsk and we understood what he said which was crazy because he sounds like a native. God really is amazing and I am so excited to be a missionary and share the gospel because it makes me so happy and I want other people to be happy as well.
Thanks for the emails and letters! Vi ses!
