HOw are you guys doing? Senior companion does mean something! It means I choose who says the prayers haha... i dunno. I don't know too much about the area, and elder g has been here for a few weeks so i follow him around a bit. I am learning fast though! I haven't sat on any companions yet.. haha Reid should be scared. Ill just be meaner when i come home probably.. haha
Moss is pretty cool. I like it. Its a pretty small city, but there's a lot of good stuff here. The ward is awesome. Its crazy to have a fully functioning ward that doesn't rely a lot on the missionaries... I think it's the largest ward in norway. SO it was weird being in church. There was a lot of people there. I didn't know what to do!!! It is really hard to remember peoples names when there are so many. Theres a couple hundred there. I am pretty excited to get going on the work here. I am excited to be here. THe tops were pretty sad. We went to thei house last monday for dinner. It was really fun. I liked that family a lot. Then tuesday morning i drove up with some other missionaries to a ferry and took a boat across the fjord to moss. Then we got to work. The first couple days were a lot of contacting and banking. We had appointments scheduled but a lot of them fell through. It was pretty sad. But we tried to do stuff. WE have a couple people we are working with. There's one guy who really wants to get baptized and as soon as he finds a job and can move out of his samboers house, he will be. Pretty awesome. Then after a couple days i was feeling again like kontakting and banking aren't the most effective ways to find people. So i decided to just go randomly go and visit some less actives and to find people on the way. We had so much more success that way. We found a few people who were at least slightly interested. Saturday we gave out 4 books of mormon. I also was hugged by a drunk guy who told us he loves us several times. HE promised to take very good care of the book of mormon we gave him... it was interesting. But the area is a bike area. So it was the first time for riding a bike on my mission. That was interesting. Its kinda fun. But there are a lot of hills. I really enjoy it all. This is a really cool area. WEll shoot. The computer at the library im using just threatened to log me out in 5 minutes. SO I will try and finish up fast. I love you guys!!!! Sounds like a really good week you guys had. Im jealous of the hike. Looked like fun. Thats a really good point about the plates and the book of mormon! It really is precious! THey are worth so much!!!! SUper important. I love how much you get to know the book of mormon on a mission. I have learned so much about it. But I hope you guys have a fantastic week! Love you a lot!! Stay out of trouble jacob now that its summer....
Love Elder Newey
