Dear grandma and grandpa Ensign, dear Amy.
Today I got to play golf with Elder Egan and his companion! I shared with Reeve the other day how I was eager for the driving range to open for the summer so I could take the missionaries out for a golf lesson. Reeve replied. “Just take them to the indoor golf center to hit some golf balls!’
So yesterday at church I asked the sisters and elders if they wanted to meet me for golf and pizza. They of course, were excited to do that.
We met in town and went down to the indoor center. I had not booked a ‘simulator’ to play in, as I figured there’d be no one there on a Monday morning, however boy, was I wrong. It was so full, there was nothing for us! Anders, the friend of mine who was working said we could putt for a little bit and then we could get a simulator in 45 minutes. So we started putting around. Then I saw a friend of mine who plays on the Ladies European Tour with me. Marianne is a little bit younger than me, but we are still good friends. She asked why they were and when I told her they were missionaries for my church, she started laughing. I turned to the missionaries and told them how I have shared the gospel with her, shared stories and miracles and how she keeps teasing me for being ‘so Holy!’ I shared how she had represented Norway in the Olympics in Rio and how the guy behind the counter was a World Amateur Champion. I think they were all ‘star struck’ for a little there!
Marianne was listening in on our conversation, so when I shared about the Olympics, she said… and I did appreciate you praying for me while I was there, but it only lasted two days. Of course, my reply was… you must have said or done something, so they Angels wouldn’t want to be around you after that! She laughed and said… you’re right, I wasn’t behaving very well. She has a bit of a bad mouth. So it was fun to share that moment with her and with the missionaries, because if we hadn’t waited for a simulator, we would not have had the conversation with Marianne and have her recognize the greatness of prayer!
We only had the chance to play 3 holes, but it was great fun! “SistersInZion’ won and got to choose the toppings for the pizza!
I had been trying to call my favorite pizza place but they wouldn’t answer, so I felt we just needed to go up there. They were closed and I was prompted to take them to a restaurant that is one of the sponsors at the golf club. There we had an opportunity to share some stories with the owner and we did eat some delicious pizza.
We have decided it is a great ‘P-Day’ and we just might do it again!!
Anyways, it was fun to have the Elders and the sisters with me at the golf center today and for us to be missionaries – without really even saying much!
Big hugs from Norway, CC
THANK YOU CeCe! 💗
