Hey Guys How are you all doing? Norway's doing good. No huge changes here. The last week was pretty good sounds like the home is empty lately. School is back in. That's so weird. I left last time school started!! woah! one year is gone. That's crazy. Thanks for your package by the way! I actually got it this morning. That was cool to get. All of it is awesome! Thanks so much ! I love you guys! We had another conference in oslo this week. Just a zone conference with the aps teaching skills. So lots of practicals and stuff. It was good though. I learned a lot. I haven't seen T, J or A this week. T disappeared and J and A were difficult to meet with. But because of the conference we had the elders from halden staying with us to drive us up and then we had a stake soccer competition that we were able to be in so they stayed with us. Elder D is one of them so him, I and elder G burned shirts for our year mark. that was fun. Still pretty weird that its been a year. Its been a crazy year. Lots of stuff thats happened. The whole * (the guy who was converted and left right after) story is pretty crazy. He's not been in church as far as i know. He doesnt respond to my emails. Last i heard from his bishop was that his parents won't let anybody into the house to visit him and that he hasn't been to the church at all. SO thats sad. That was a while ago. I haven't heard anything since, but W said he's going to track him down and talk to him hah. so we'll see how that goes.I hope he goes to church. But here in moss things are going well. Its been pretty slow but i think it will pick up soon. Yesterday we only had time to knock on one street and we got three people that wanted us to come back because they were busy at the time. That was awesome. Two of them were families. And they were more positive than most of the people that just tell us to come back. So that will be cool. Saturday was fun we had the stake soccer tournament. It was intense. I didn't expect it to be so intense. We were invited to be on the fredrikstads team because moss didnt invite us. So it was a team of 6 americans most of which have never played soccer and a few europeans. Against the other norwegians that take soccer very seriously. I had to hold back and really try not to take people out because there was a lot of non members. That was fun. They were way intense. We lost all 3 of our games. THe europeans weren't so impressed with us. haha there was some yelling. But it was really fun. I was glad to play again. But we were a little sore yesterday. This coming week we are really hoping to get some investigators who will really want to investigate. Moves call will be next sunday. That's exciting. Not too much is going on other than that. We have a few people that we are teaching norwegian to. One guy from canada. So that's exciting. But we are just goin on. Doin our best and I am loving it. Lots of good stuff out here as a missionary.
Thanks for the key to life mom! (2 Nephi 31:19-21)thats helpful. I was thinking earlier this week about how you can make your calling and election sure. You make it so simple. Thats basically the formula! We really just have to stick to the basics and really strive to follow christ. He is our head and the center of all we do. WE really should hold our focus on him and do all that we can to be like him. HE is the perfect example. steadfastness in Christ. I think that really just means we really have to try and have him in our thought and live by every word that he teaches. HE is our teacher. He loves us! Its true!! ANyway. I hope you guys have a good week! Love you guys! Thanks for the prayers and support!
Elder NEwey
