Uke 40: Gathering Israel, Gathering Berries

We brewed up some fresh homemade beer this week! 🍻We made pizza for dinner one day last week, but we made too much crust so we stored the leftovers in a covered bowl planning to use it another day. But we kinda forgot about it for about a week and when we remembered, we opened it up to throw it away and it was very fermented. 

Last P-day we went to Furuberget, a largish hill that is a nature reserve 10 minutes from our house. This is where my last companion and I went sledding in February and March. It looked very different without any snow, and also there were all kinds of wild berries everywhere and it was ganske lit. We ate a lot of berries. Everything is so expensive in Norway, so Eldste Steele and I are thinking about switching over to just being gatherers instead of buying groceries every week. There are actually berries pretty much everywhere we go so if we spend a few hours banking on doors and we need a break we can just walk over to the side of the road and find some raspberries or wild strawberries to snack on.

Also I herded cows this week!!!!! We were doing service for a guy and while we were at his house, his neighbor, who has a big farm, asked us if we could help guide his cows about a kilometer down the road to a little lake. Norway is apparently having a crazy drought this year ( even though it still looks pretty green to me ) so the cows need to drink a lot i guess. It was pretty fun!

On a more spiritual note, our investigator David is doing awesome! He is looking forward to getting baptized in less than 2 weeks, and he is so ready for it! We did a pre-baptismal interview with him and he definitely passed. He has read most of Mormons Bok by now and he is willing to keep all the commandments and commit to the church. He is by far the most prepared person I have ever met so far on my mission and I am grateful that I got to go through the entire process with him, from first finding him on the gågate to baptism! 🐊

Hope you dookies have a good week! Ha det!​​
