Hey everyone! We moved in with the Assistants this week. Took us about two days to get finished with that, mainly because we had appointments and things in between it all. With transfers and moving and everything, we didn't have a whole ton of time to do any proselyting. We did have a couple of appointments with a man from India named Devinder. After our last appointment with him on Saturday, I'm not too sure how interested he actually is, so we'll probably end up dropping him soon unless he starts showing some progress.
I had another baptismal interview with a woman down south in Fredrikstad this week. She is from Iraq, and she moved to Norway with her two daughters about 10 years ago, mainly because they grew up as Christians. Iraq is not exactly the easiest place to do that. So they ended up here. Her two daughters actually live in Oslo, and one of them, Roya, has come to Institute a couple of weeks in a row now. She likes it, and we've been able to answer some of her questions about the church. I'm hoping that with Roya's mom getting baptized, that will help her to be interested in actually sitting down and meeting with us, which she hasn't wanted to do just yet. So we'll see, but I don't expect anything to happen with that for at least a few more weeks. But there is definitely potential there.
We just heard the other day that we are going to have another mission conference next month. I'm pretty lucky that I'm getting 3 in only a year, it's pretty unusual, especially since it's so expensive to travel in Norway. Elder Teixeira, the Area President is coming to do a mission tour, so everyone is going to be flying into Oslo for a two day conference. Mission conferences are nice because it's a great opportunity to get to see everyone again. This may be my last chance to see a couple missionaries before I head home, so I'm excited for that.
And, of course, there's always General Conference as well. That's a good time. Couple more weeks for that. We're crossing our fingers for a Norwegian temple to be announced! It's not likely to happen for quite a while actually, but I can't wait until that day. =)
Well, we're hoping we can get out this week and do some good finding. Tonight we're heading to a less active member's house who wants us to teach him and his son the missionary lessons. So that'll be fun. He also mentioned a friend who had a couple of questions about the church, so it'd be nice to get a referral out of it as well.
Til next week!
Eldste Sessions
