I just know that God is so aware of His children.

I'm sitting in the library with tears running down my face because I am so grateful to be assoicated with such incredible people. I feel like I say that so often, but really, I'm not sure you guys understand how incredible you are. Thank you so much for your kind, uplifting words. I feel like I suck all of the strength out of the computer and go again to do another week. I know that the Lord's hand is in my life and your lives and I am just so filled with gratitude.

I finally got my sweet girl from the USA this week! Sister Frampton is a dream. I feel like I have known her forever and we are best friends. She has such a quiet dignity and she is so brave and bold. I love her so much and I am so grateful to get to be with her this transfer (and hopefully some more!) At least we will get to be in Oslo together for Christmas. And that is such a treat.

Last night we met with the Swedish twins and they decided that it is finally time to get baptized. They will be getting baptized on November 30th. Adrian is getting baptized this Saturday, so we will have 2 baptism weekends in a row! Lots of planning, but so exciting! These people are going to be able to make a promise with their Heavenly Father. I am so happy for them.

Last night another one of our investigators, Wang, also called us. He has been having a hard time with a lot of commitments and he keeps saying, "If you want to give up on me, I understand." No no no, Wang, we won't be giving up on you. But he called us to tell us he has a friend that would like to meet because she has "worldly views" and he thinks we could talk to her. It sounds like not that big of a deal, but it was to us because it meant that Wang is actually hearing some of what we say and that he recognizes it can help! So that was really exciting.

Sister Frampton and I talked about our goals for these next six weeks and we really want to help Tonje get baptized. We met with her on Saturday and talked about the Plan of Salvation some more. She sitll reads out of the Book of Mormon and comes to church. She's just slowly progressing and my patience is slowly improving ;) Pray for her though. She needs prayers and lots of love.

It's dark outside right now and it's 3:40. Ah yeah. I think the only thing that will get me through this winter is the fact that I will only be here for one. But actually, the city is starting to look really pretty! Sister Frampton and I go on our cold runs through the city in the mornings and they are starting to put up Christmas lights! It's really exciting.

I just know that God is so aware of His children. He understands needs and He understands how to help and He has a plan that is bigger than we can comprehend. I have to remind myself of that and just relax and trust. There is nothing He does not know and nothing He cannot do. I love my Heavenly Father and my Savior. I know that they live.

Happy Thanksgiving! I think Thanksgiving is this week? Actually. I think it's next Thursday, huh? I don't know. Enjoy eating lots of good American food and I'll see you next year. Haha. Love you all!

Love,
