Uke 55: Cold, Dark, and Happy

A CRAZY GUY JUST PUNCHED OUR CAR. We were on a bridge crossing a river to get to the church to send emails, when the car in front of us stopped suddenly. At first, we thought the car might have died or something, but after a few seconds, 2 women and one angry guy got out of the car. The guy took a book out of the car and threw it in the river, and started yelling. He then looked at us and saw we were looking at him (we were just stopped behind his car in the middle of the road so there wasn't much else we could do) and then he started yelling and came over and punched the car on the hood. I drove out of there real quick.👌 I never expected to experience anything like that in Norway but I guess people can be crazy no matter where you live.

Anyways... It has been a great week with my new companion, Elder Baughan! We are both super happy to be here and we are getting along really well! I hope we do 2 transfers together because he's a bro and also I really want to be here for Christmas.

Winter is getting closer and closer up here. It got down to -10 C a few days this week, and probably colder in the nights. It snowed a little and a lot of rivers and lakes froze. Also the roads are icy so that is really fun! We only get about 4 hours of sunlight every day, but luckily the skies have been pretty clear so we can at least get the most out of that. We went on a hike with Geir today and it was sunny but FREEZING! ❄ Geir didn't want gloves but somehow he survived. The view was beautiful and we sang a disko song at the top.

Another cool thing we did this week was driving to Hammerfest! We left after lunch a couple days ago. I guess we forgot that the sun sets at 2:00 in the afternoon. We should have left earlier, but we got some nice sunset pictures on the drive before we arrived in the worlds northernmost city. We tried to visit some members and some other people formerly taught by missionaries.

We haven't seen northern lights at all since Elder Baughan moved up north last week so please pray for us! Hope yall have a good week🐊
