WE HAD A SUPER FAST START TO THE WEEK WITH A LOT OF TEACHES. WE ENDED UP GETTING A COUPLE BAPTISMAL DATES AS A RESULT OF THOSE TEACHES TOO!

Heia!
I am so jealous!  I have been thinking about the temple a lot this week and have been wanting to go so bad!  That is way cool! That is also way sweet that you got to see Sister E!  I haven't seen Elder E in a long time. It has probably been 6 or 7 months since last time, but I get to see him this month for a combined zone conference, so that should be great!
But ya, about my week.  It has been super crazy.  Elder W and I have been pretty busy.  We had a super fast start to the week with a lot of teaches.  We ended up getting a couple baptismal dates as a result of those teaches too! So that was awesome!  One is with a man named F.  He is from Norway but lived most of his life in Columbia.  He just moved back about 6 weeks ago with his wife.  His wife, M, is a member from Columbia.  He has gone to church for the last 5 years with her there in Columbia.  They love each other a lot and he has finally decided to join her in membership of the church!  So that was so sweet to hear!  He has a smoking problem though so we are going to have to spend a lot of time to help him stop smoking!  He wants to get baptized as soon as possible, so that means we have to do it quick too!

Other than that we taught a man named M from Ghana this week.  He got a baptismal date as well. We had president on a teach with us and M seemed pretty sincere.  So I hope that that works out for him!  Other than that though we meet with a lot fo people and are just trying to help them make progress and meet with us regularly.  Life in a big city is so fast paced that people just don't have time to meet!

The zone did super good to!  So things are starting to improve here and Elder W and I are getting super excited!  I really can't believe how much the Lord blesses us when we try our best!  Our zone has made a real big turn around and we are excited to see it continue!  The Lord is really helping the mission go forward to.  The whole mission is so well!

We are heading out to Romerike again this week.  So that should be a good splits.  Other than that we are just going to continue working!  The lord will continue blessing us to!
Today we are thinking about heading out to a place called Sognsvann. We are going to have a bonfire out there.  It should be pretty good. The weather is starting to act up though so it might not happen.  We will see. 
Anyways, I will take pictures today I promise!  I will also for sure send you some next week!  I actually haven't taken any since coming to Oslo, it has been a pretty busy area haha. 
Jeg elsker deg så mye!
