Happy Easter!
This week has been a blast as we have had tons of time to be on the streets. We got some big Easter posters with a picture of Christ and it has been fun having a street stand!
Everything in Norway shuts down during Easter and most people aren't home which make missionary work a lot more difficult.
We heard some amazing talks in Church this Sunday. I love the focus of the resurrection of Christ and the message behind it. We know that because Christ was resurrected, that we will be resurrected.
Hope you all have an amazing week!
Eldste Egan
This week was fun and also long. Easter in Norway means let's party and go on vacation. Nobody here really cares about what Easter means. If you ask them on the street "what does Easter mean to you" you will either get response #1 of "it means I can go to the mountains and do absolutely nothing. Or #2 "I worship Satan and will have fun in hell"
But because of Easter all of the streets are pretty empty and nobody is home. It makes for a long weekend of walking around doing nothing. But President and Sister Tew had a lot of missionaries over on Friday evening and it was a blast. We had these burritos made with lamb and the tortilla was nan bread. (I don't think I spelled that right)
Saturday a member reached out to us and invited us over for dinner. He said he knew we probably had nothing to do and because nobody was home we probably weren't getting fed. It was way fun as we ate dinner on the roof of the building he lives in. You could see the city from a whole new perspective! And the food was amazing. We had Turkey! This is the only place on my entire mission that I have had Turkey besides with Americans in Stavanger on Thanksgiving.
Sunday we had a small miracle and a person I taught a little bit my first time in Oslo who had been meeting with missionaries for about a year before I got there came to church again on Sunday. She is one who begged the missionaries to get baptized for months and has done personal progress and everything but because her parents were Muslim and she was under the age of 18 we couldn't do it. We have been trying our best to get back in contact and out of nowhere she shows up to church. We will be meeting with her today and hope it all goes well.
If you don't get an email or a longer email from me next week, it is because I had to stavanger on Monday and will be there until late Wednesday night.
I head to Fredrikstad in the morning for 2 days and then zone conferences begin on Friday.
It's going to be a busy but fun week! Love you.
