October 30, 2017 - My First Investigator!

Hello everyone.  This week was one of the longest most rewarding weeks of my mission.  It all started off Monday night teaching Pål.  We taught the first lesson and we read James 1:5 when we were talking about Joseph Smith and after he literally committed himself to read and pray.  And to top it off he prayed for us at the end of the lesson and it was so amazing.  The walk home after that was an exciting time!

Come Tuesday we had another appointment with a guy who we gave a Mormons Bok to a couple of weeks back. The lesson went terrible.  We were struggling to speak Norwegian and he gave us back the Mormons Bok at the end of the lesson.  Sometimes they will just go bad!

Wednesday we had Zone Conference up in Drammen.  Its about a 2 hour drive and it was so fun to see a couple of people from my MTC group and my MTC comp who I just absolutely love.  The Zone Conference was all about teaching skills and my comp and I were put into a teaching situation twice with people who spoke the hardest dialects in Norway and it was super fun and difficult to do that.  The drive back was really foggy and out of the 2 sister in Skien and Eldste McCourt and I, I am the only one legal to drive because I haven't been here long enough to be illegal yet.  

The days after that I don't have much to say about besides lots of bonking on doors and contacting people on the buses and having a great time in the cold.  

Come Sunday I was in charge of teaching the youth while my comp taught gospel principles.  So we had to go on splits with the bishop and a priest.  My lesson was on "What can we learn about gospel learning from the example of the Savior"  It was weird not having a comp to teach with and this lesson went so bad,  I truly cant speak this language at all but can somehow teach the Preach My Gospel Lessons, changing the subject and not having a comp really changed things up on that but it was such a great experience.  We had dinner at Familie Lunds after church and the father served his mission in California and he really likes spicy food and we had enchiladas and they were amazing.  And dessert in Norway is the best thing in the world.  

Hope you all have a great week!
