Uke 84: So much to celebrate!

HEI DOKK!

Fyrst og framst, we had a baptism this week! André got baptized on Sunday before Church and it was awesome! Elder Barnes and I were pretty stressed for a few reasons, one being that the person we asked to give a talk called in sick the night before. We asked a nice old lady in the ward right before the meeting to give an impromptu talk about the holy spirit and she killed it! We were very very very grateful for her and we gave her chocolate and a note and visited her and her husband yesterday. I don't know how missionaries do this in Places where baptisms happen often. I don't know if they are any easier there but this one took a lot of planning and stress. It turned out great though! I am so thankful for the opportunity we have had to teach André and help him come to Christ!

On a sadder note, my companion is moving ): It has been a great 3 months with Elder Barnes. It flew by so fast! He is going up north to cover an area that used to be covered by 3 sets of missionaries when I first came to Norway. He will be travelling between Harstad, Narvik, Bodø, and Mo i Rana, which is absolutely insane! I am a little jealous but very happy to be staying here in Stavanger! I will be getting Eldste Baldwin as probably my next companion, who was in the MTC with me so we will probably kill each other (not actually kill each other, but be each others last Companions before going home).

17 Mai was also this week obviously, which is Norway's national day and that was really fun! We saw the children's parade in Stavanger in the morning, then went to a member's mom's house to have a koselig afternoon barbecue. After that, we went back to Sandnes sentrum and watched the rest of the parades there. I liked it a lot more than last year actually! I travelled to Oslo for last 17 Mai which was cool because it's the biggest city and we saw the king, but there were way fewer tourists this year here in Stavanger and Sandnes which was nice.

Last p-day, we did a hike called Krossfjellet and that was a cool little hike with lots of friendly sheep.

I hope yall also had a sykt bra week, we'll be snakkin
