Hey guys!!! Jan says hi.
So I am leaving Bergen.. Its kinda sad. BUt I am kinda excited. I leave on wednesday to a little city in the south east called Porsgrunn. That'll be interesting.
So thats pretty exciting! I am going to another area. Itll be way different. Theres only going to be the two of us in the city instead of the 8 that are here in bergen. So that will be different. I dont think it will be too bad. My new companion will be elder B. Hes been out longer than elder w. I think he goes home in june or july. Ive heard good things about him. I am excited. This week was a lot better than last week. Last monday was really hard but by the end of the day I was doing really good again. And I just kept feeling good. There is no doubt in my mind that this church is true and that I am in the lords work. I love it :) I just had even more realization that People have their free agency and we cant force them to do anything. We just have to let them be. And when it is their time they will come around. It doesn't affect our salvation as long as we did our very best and all that we could. It is still hard and it is sad because its people we truly love and care about. And We don't want them to leave that behind. But its their choice and they have their agency to believe what they want. We just have to continue to pray for them and be examples. We can't let our testimonies grow dimmer because others have disappeared. If anything we need to strengthen it at that point. So yeah I love it. If I ever try to deny it slug me.ANd then show me the emails I send home ha. I hope I always remember what I've seen and felt and experienced here. Because it has left no doubt in my mind. And prayer. Its amazing. Anytime I start to feel a little down, I know that I can just pray and I feel christs love. And its amazing. Thats awesome there about testimony meeting. Who was the young man? That is awesome to hear. There was a couple testimonies here from people who have been struggling. One hadn't been to church in a very long time. It was so powerfull. Their testimonies left several people in tears. It was so spiritual. I wish *** had been able to come. She had to work though unfortunately. But Hopefully I'll get to stop by and say goodbye to her tomorrow. It was sad to say good bye to the members here. They are awesome. I heard the ward in skien, which is the one I will be in, is really cool too. I dont think you need to think so complex about the gospel. It really is so simple. And it's perfect. The only thing you have to know is that yes it is from God. And you can know that by praying. Its so simple!!!I think that is a problem with at lot of people is that they either research it too much or they don't think it can be that simple. But it is, becuase its perfect. The gospel just makes so much sense!!! One thing i thought a lot about this week as well is that I thought too much about how real satan is. He is. I accept it. But so is the Savior. I didn't think about that enough. I realized that you have to focus on that. The fact that there is a god who loves each one of his children and has prepared a perfect way for us to come back and that is through the savior Jesus Christ. He is our savior and redeemer. The hymns are all becoming more true to me. Its so cool. I know that my redeemer lives. Abide with me. Brightly beams our fathers mercy. Lead kindly light. I could go on for a while. Theyre amazing. Its true about the treadmill though. Ive used the example of a down escalator here. You have to continually go up in order to actually get there. It is true about testimonies, faith, everything. Good stuff. Anyway it sounds like you all had a good week this week though. :) Jacob I am disappointed that you got a b- in seminary.... haha. Love you guys! THanks for your prayers and support!
