Oh what an experience it is to be a missionary. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I only took one picture this week and I have no idea how...
 but this road is classic welcome to Norway. It's a fairytale over here.

Oh my goodness, guys! I love emailing you every week. Sister Robbins and I get way too excited to open our emails. It makes me feel so motivated and like I can do the next week. 

Sister Robbins and I found out we're going to be in Bergen for the next 8 weeks together. I think Heavenly Father wants to make sure we get these people baptized. But we had told Anders we might be leaving and he was so worried. He sent us the best text ever that said, "I pray every day for you guys and that you can be here in Bergen a little longer. I want you guys to be here when I get baptized." It was the hilight of the week! So we texted him Sunday morning when we found out and he was so excited. We told him that he has 8 weeks. Haha so let's get this man baptized! His cute little family is just waiting for all the blessings.

We had a pretty rough start to the week, but by the weekend it was much better. A kid randomly called us and told us he had read a little bit of the Book of Mormon and asked if we had time to meet. What? That hardly ever happens here. So we met him in the city, AND he brought a friend, and we answered all of his extremely good questions for an hour and half. He had read a ton of things and knew a lot. I guess he met missionaries sometime last year on the street and they just happened to give him a Book of Mormon. We don't usually just give them out unless we meet with people, so the whole thing was just a miracle. We were so grateful.

A couple minutes before we met with him, we were walking around the pond in the city talking to people and we talked to this nice man from China. He's here working for Stat Oil as an engineer and he said he likes physical evidence, but by the end of the conversation he said, "Well, if there is a God and He loves me, and there's a way to find Him, I want to know!" We said, "Come to church tomorrow!" And he did! We gave him a Book of Mormon in Chinese and he flipped through it all of sacrament meeting. I love how the Lord is providing a way even for His children in China that can't have missionaries come to them right now. 

Among other things, we attended a wedding, went and visited the brand new baby again, and helped with a baptism for a little girl in the ward this weekend, so we lived at the church, but it was really good. Weddings and babies made me feel weird. I'm glad I'm a missionary right now. Haha. 

Thank you for your prayers and your words and your love. It's the only way I'm doing any of this right now! I love you guys so much. Oh what an experience it is to be a missionary. I wouldn't trade it for the world. Keep praying for these people! I know that your prayers are answered and they help so much! 

Love,
