Hows it going? !
I have not bought shoes yet... I will do that later today and then I will let you know the price... Both pairs are pretty rough. But I think I'll just buy one for now. THe other pair is fairly presentable.. haha I actually failed my driving test. Norwegian driving test is one of the hardest in the world. ANd I took it in Bergen which is one of the hardest places to take it in.  Plus the lady testing me tried to trick me by telling me to go left when she meant right, which confused me and i got flustered and she decided after that I wasn't a good driver.. I was pretty mad that day.  Especially since the whole thing cost about 5000 kr. of the churches money for nothing.  ha But its alright. Now I don't have to worry about driving on norways narrow roads.  kinda sad though. I like driving.  For the test they had me answer a question about the car and then we just drove around for an hour or so.  THe question was what light must be turned off when you have the emergency flashers on.  Apparently I answered that wrong too. But she wouldn't tell me what the right answer was.  ah well.  THeres only a couple areas with cars for elders anyway so Im alright :)  SOrry so many people were sick this week.  THat doesn't sound fun at all. Glad everyone is better.  Did making jacob do sketchy stuff make him less grumpy? haha I think thats funny. Sounds like a lot of fun.  HOw come you wouldn't do any dares? Were you scared JAcob would come up with something bad?  THats pretty crazy tanner is already making plans for the summer. Sounds like he's got some good possibilities.WOuld he live down by zions? or in logan? Sams engaged? thats crazy.  I still think its weird that tanner could get married soon.  WEird.  Maybe not soon, but he could haha :) SOunds like everybody's doing good.  Hope you guys all have fun in st george.  Its super weird to think that I am in norway. IT kind of blows my mind when I think about it. Its funny. Hearing norwegian is normal now as is seeing lots of people with snoos or smoking. ANd lots of muslims.  ha It's interesting.  Norways a cool place.  Good that jacobs still stubborn.  I haven't heard much from or about taylor in a long time.  I miss the ward at home. How is everybody there doing?  ITs a good ward.  I am excited to see what watch jacob picked out for me.... 
THis week was really good. We are still trying to figure everything out here.  Yesterday for some studies we watched a video of a talk from elder holland. It was called cast not away your courage. It was super good.  IT talked about how satan tries after a good thing to tempt us like he did to moses. Me and elder b thought about that with our last week.  We kind of cast away our courage when the time mattered.  We have decided to try being more bold.  We tried being bold with an investigator that has been investigating the church for a few years.  WE had a super spiritual teach it was awesome.  Being bolder works a lot more. Unfortunately he didn't pray. HE hasn't prayed and asked the entire time he's been investigating.  But we gave him a fair chance. Im not sure what else we can do.  But we have decided we have to be bold a lot more with people.  THis is the most important decision they will ever make! And we are the ones showing them, so we better let them know. I want to be more bold.  ANd more confident. WE have the truth! The way to their salvation. SO we better do well in presenting it. SO thats what I want to work on this week.  I am loving the mission! The work is going pretty good. The ward is fantastic. BUt the problem is, it's kind of a lot of talk but not too much action. SO we want to work on that a lot more as well.  On getting the ward to act.  BUt yeah! I love you guys! Thanks for the prayers and the support! THis church is true! COngrats to robert and tasha ! HOws the neweys doing? I haven't heard too much from them either.  I will buy some shoes today and let you know how much! have a great week!!!!!!
