church in norway... Not sure how many branches or wards... but we have two stakes. The north isn't in a stake, it's just part of the mission. here in bergen there are like 500 members in the ward. It has huge boundaries though. some members live an hour away. and only like 150 come to church so there's a lot of work to be done there. There's about 4000 members in all of norway i believe...Pretty much everyone knows english. THey dont speak it though unless they really need to .. like if I'm standing there with a blank stare. typical day... we get up exercise, eat shower and do all our studies til about noon. Then we eat a quick lunch and then if we have an appointment, we'll go teach, or we'll go contacting. We stay busy. If we don't have anything, we'll call everyone on our phone and try to set up an appointment. We usually have at least one appointment a day. That's basically it I believe. Friday night we have sport night at 7 til 9 for the young adults and we'll bring investigators to that. It's fun. but yeah... how I got locked out... So it was early, my prayer went longer then everyone elses, so I was the last one out of the room, I walked out in my towel, and everyone else was already in the shower. I closed the door. Nobody brought their keys with them and the door automatically locks... so yeah haha we had to get the custodian guy to come unlock it. he took his time too. it was funny. Hope these questions help! love you!
