On Wednesday and Thursday
I was able to do something that I've been looking forward to every day
for the past year. Go back and visit Kristiansund! We went down there
for splits. It was so amazing to be able to go back to that city and see
so many of the people that I love so much. It was a great splits there.
:)
When we arrived in the Trondheim airport
Thursday night, we met up with the assistants, Elder Duncan and Elder
Parkinson, who were coming on splits with us. So it was a week full of
splits! It was great. We had a movie night activity where we watched
Meet the Mormons in the church. It was was a success! We had a lot of
non-members there. Plus that movie is sick.
Had another similar experience like last week. Sunday
night; no new investigators; feeling kind of bummed. We were walking
home, pretty exhausted, and ready to eat dinner at 8. But when we got to
our door, we decided to just make one more short round around the block
and try and find someone. Not many people were on the streets, but that
didn't matter, because THE ONE was on the streets!
We stopped a girl
and started to talking to her about faith and the Book of Mormon. She
said she had lost her faith, but that she hoped that she could find it
again. She also said that she had a friend in the US who is Mormon and
then told us that if she did find her Christian faith again that should
would be a part of our church because of what she heard from her friend
who was a member. Go friend!!
We ended up sitting on the bench and teaching her about the Book of Mormon while everyone on the street would walk by and just stare at us hahaha. It was one of the best "street" experiences I've had. It was amazing!
Once again, it was the the last moment. This time, the blessing didn't even happen during the 99 percent. It didn't even happen at the 100 percent! It required us to show some faith and go the extra 1 percent. I'm telling you. It has happened SO MANY TIMES! I'll never be able to deny that God's hand was in these instances and that He definitely reacts to the faith that we show. I don't think we can always expect things to happen immediately, but they do happen. So that was a pretty great experience.

This
will be another good week! We are flying to Alta, the northern-most
missionary area in the world! So on Thursday just know that I will be
higher up north than any other missionary. :) Should be fun!
Hope everyone has a great week. I uploaded some pictures on dropbox, so vær så god!
Stay sweet
Sincerely,
Elder Nilsson
