Word of the week- MIRAKLER

This week has been amazing and jammed full of miracles! Søster Pond and I have a list of all of the different miracles that we see throughout our day on the wall and we might have to make a new one soon! It is amazing to see that the opportunities that Heavenly Father gives us when we pray for them with faith and then do everything in our power to make it happen. 

Some of the many miracles from this week:

- I asked this Swedish Lady to take a picture of me and my distrikt on fjellstua last P-day. We all got to talking together after and told her that we were missionaries. She lives on one of the small islands that are connected to Ålesund by underground tunnels. She told us all about her family as we walked up the mountain with her. Long story short, we asked her if we could meet with her and talk to her about our church. She said yes and we got her number! It was so cool because as missionary we are told to always look for opportunities to preach the gospel, yes, even on P-days! In our prayer that morning we asked Heavenly Father to help us to be guided to someone who is ready to accept the gospel. He did exactly that. We are going to meet with her in Mai. I am so greatful for a loving Heavenly Father that answers prayers.

-We met 3 different Former investigators on the street that said that we could meet with them. 

- While banking, this Samalian family let us in, fed us cookies and orange juice and asked us a lot of questions relating to our church. Apparently they were taught by the missionaries before and lost contact with them. We have a return appointment with them for this week and we are going to teach them more about the restoration. I am so excited!

-Auri prayed for the first time in our lesson with him. The spirit was so strong and he prayed for me and Søster Pond. He has such a kind genuine heart. It is amazing to see how far he has come spiritually. 

- Bente Bugge, a less active, came to relief society! It was so nice to finally meet her and she said that she was going to start coming to church again!

There was so many more miracles this week, but that is about all that I have time for. I love being on a mission so much and being able to see the Lord's hand in my life and in the lives of others! In 1 Nephi 11:17 - Nephi says that he does not know all things, but he knows that God is loving. God loves all of us personally so much, and when we understand that everything else falls into place. It is so much easier to trust him. 

Love you all so much! Have a great week!
