Uke 31: Summer at last!

GOD MORGEN!

I got a new companion this week!  Elder Steele is awesome and we have been working hard and having a lot of fun together! He spent the first 6 weeks of his mission in Bergen before coming here, and I think he is very happy to be out of the rain. Its pretty much been summer here for the last few weeks, and Elder Steele and I have started contacting on the beach because that where everyone is in Hamar when the weather is nice.

I'm gonna just share a couple highlights and fun experiences that happened this week:

1. Yesterday we were banking in the afternoon and it was really hot outside. An ice cream truck stopped next to us and the guy inside told us to come get some ice cream. I would have, but i didn't have my wallet on me so we reluctantly declined. He said "Oh that's fine, just come have some ice cream!" So he gave us krone-is and told us to take a break. We had to pay him somehow so we gave him a Book of Mormon and he thought that would be a good trade.

2. We had an appointment on Saturday with an investigator named Brendhaugen. He is 90 years old and is almost completely deaf and has had many surgeries and is starting to show a few signs of aging... but when we showed up at his house for the appointment he was chopping wood shirtless in his backyard. He is one of the most legendary old men I have ever met. I now know what I want to be when I grow up.

3. We got permission from the mission president to take a train down to Oslo to spend 17 Mai there!!! 17 Mai is Norwegian independence day and it will be amazing spending the day in the biggest / capital city!

4. We got another investigator in church!

So yeah we had an awesome week up here in Hamar! Hope everything goes well for yall in USA  I didn't get any cool pictures this week but ill get some next week! Ha det bra!
