Im doing good! I was exhausted cuz we've been working hard ha. I was sick a couple weeks ago. But I am doing great now. I have only gotten sick once or twice and it doesn't really last very long when i do. A package would be cool. I got my debit card. The envelope was torn open on one side, so I was a little worried, but the card was in there, and the letters. THat was lucky I noticed the other day that I needed a new card so I was going to ask about that!! I didn't end up buying shoes last week. Because shoes are pretty expensive here and I don't know what to spend CUz I know I'm going to need something that will actually last. THe couple small ones, I bought some food a couple times because we were out of money last week due to me taking my norwegian driving test, and we had to take the train a few times this month, so we had no money so I used my personal card for some lunch. THe other I think was a tie. ha It was pretty cheap considering. THe 112 dollars was for a hard Drive. I bought one to backup pictures and stuff. Especially since I lost my first memory card that was completely full. THat was sad because most of it was not backed up... so I lost a lot of pictures. But oh well. Other things I need in a package... hmm I don't know maybe some american candy.. haha mike and ikes, bottle caps, i dunno, THat kind of stuff is rare here or super expensive. a watch would be nice. Mine broke in the mtc so I have gotten used to just not knowing what time it was most of the time. :) I got an email from t so that was cool THanks. THe pictures from christmas are good ones! ha It was fun. I haven't heard from her since I left. Hopefully she's doing well. I got that tie from a member in bergen who was very picky about ties. I've only had kebabs 3 or 4 times. So not too much. They're pretty expensive. Everything is just expensive out here!! We cook at our apartment or at the church usually. Breakfast is usually musli or eggs or something like that. Lunch and dinner can be a lot of different things depending on if we still have any money and what we have in our kitchen. Time is flying by so fast. IT's weird that i have been out for 6 months. SUper weird. SO many things that have happened in that time. Its just weird. Only what I've been through 3 more times and I will be home. Crazy! IT goes by way to fast. Especially when we are working hard. I hope I get to see Jacob before he leaves. THat would be awesome. I haven't heard from him in a while. haha I miss having someone to wrestle haha. My companions are all bigger and taller than me so its not the same. Elder W and n were pretty skinny though ha. I will probably come back to norway one day. I think its kinda funny. A lot of the missionaries here have talked about moving here. ANd THere are a lot that have. ITs kinda crazy. I dont think I could though. I wouldnt want to raise a family here. ITs true though. I realize more and more, that its only two years. ANd Now i have 18 months left. HAve I made the most of that time? and How do I make sure that I keep working hard the whole time. Its not too difficult I think. ITs not that much time. I thought it was funny. SOme j dubs (jehovahs witness.) were talking about how they preach their whole lives. On saturdays. ha. THey gave us a pamphlet. Usually they're scared to talk to us so I thought that was interesting. We had another guy we met on the street invite us over as well. WHen we went over, he said he was busy and then told us about his prophet and then gave us a book about him. We read through it a little to see how to teach this guy. The book about the prophet was weird. It talked a lot about the man but not too much about Christ. ANd the man's account of his visit from an angel was weird. We read it and then joseph smith's account of being visited by an angel. They were so different. Basically this guy had been deceived by satan and was given the gift of healing by satan. IT was ridiculous. AFter reading about some of his teachings, I felt so happy to be a member of this church. It just makes so much sense. I see these other churches teachings and fruits and all this other stuff and it makes me so much more sure about the gospel that we have! ITs perfect. Reading the scriptures and praying helps with that so much. I love being in this church. It is Jesus CHrists CHurch!!!! No doubt in my mind about that. SOunds like you guys guys are doing good! THis email is getting really long. HOpe you guys have a fantastic week! THanks for your prayers!!!
Love you guys!!
