Well, I've made it past the year mark and so I guess it's just all
down hill from here...
hahah jk this year is going to be UNREAL. Just
wait:)
I think I'm going to tell President
Evans that I can't leave here until there is a branch. It's so close and
it's going to happen!
We had 8 people in church yesterday! That was the most we have had since
I have been here. Veronika, Jan, and Wenche all came, as well as a few
others. I taught a Sunday School class after our Sacrament meeting, and that also went really
well! It was just us, Robert, and Wenche at that point, but it was SO
good, and everyone was participating and learning new things, and
Veronika already felt like a a part our little Almost-branch:) It's been
hard to meet with her since she was moving to a different apartment
and looking for a job, but she is all moved in now and found a job as a
kindergarten teacher! So now we will be able to meet with her more. She
loves everything we have been teaching and is on her way:)
We also had a lesson with Jan. We finished teaching him
the Plan of Salvation, and he really liked it! I believe that he already
knows the church is true, but he doesn't want to make any quick
decisions and wants a lot of time to really think about it. But he is
making a lot of progress, and is just a really nice guy with great
faith.
Earlier this week I was able to go on splits with
Elder Childs, who is one of the HUGE guys that played on American Forks
basketball team. It was way fun and we had a good time chatting about
high school basketball and stuff haha.
It's hard to describe, but I just feel so happy
right now being a missionary. I've probably never missed the fam more in
my entire life, but I just love it here so much! Elder Vause and I have
a lot of fun and are just really enjoying the special work we are able
to do here in Kristiansund. Makes me really sad anytime I think about
having to leave one day. This week is going to be way super awesome
though. We have some sweet appointments lined up, we are going to get
some baptismal dates, then on the weekend we will be flying to Trondheim
for a "skills workshop" with the North zone, then we'll be bussing to
Ålesund the next day for a baptism. And then the next week.... Going to
be Elder Bednar!! So that will be great:)
Love you all so much! I know this church is true!
Don't be afraid to be a missionary.
If you have the desire, I promise
God will help you. He has sure helped me! If you don't have the desire, I
promise God will help you with that too. Just talk to Him about it!
Hope everyone has a good week:)
Elder Nilsson
