God Is Real

We had a week of miracles! I am telling you People.. God is real. Just look for Him and you will see miracles. :)

We have joined a Bible study Group at the high School and have made a lot of friends through it. Afterwards, we taught one of the Girls the first lesson and I think we scared her a little bit With how much we knew about the Bible and how the Restoration and Book of Mormon support it.

I just think it is so important to really study the Word of God, personally. Don't let other People tell you what truth is.. find it out for yourself.  I am all about that. It would be better to find it out through God. He can tell you what is true and what is not. We have the answers to find Peace, direction, and happiness in this life and it is only through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our Savior can do that for us. I am a fan. I love Him and Our Heavenly Father.

We have meet up with some former investigators this week and two of them want us to come back and teach them.. so that is super exciting. We had the sister training leaders come on Wednesday. I got to see my last Companion Sister Hartley and Sister Nielsen from my last District. It was so good to see them. Me and Sister Hartley had an awesome lesson with one of our investigators and he is so open to think and seek for the truth. I love that ærlig hensikt (real intent)! The lesson turned into my favorite topic, The Atonement. I got to share my testimony about Jesus Christ. I would do that all day every day if I could.

 We visited a member with Alzheimers this week named Harda and she was hilarious! I told her that we ran earlier that day and asked her what she liked to do. She said, "ikke løper" (not run). haha so funny. She also has a strong testimony. We sang hymns with her and asked her what makes her happy. She said her loving Heavenly Father. The spirit was so strong. What a wise lady! I like Harda. :)

We contacted this girl early this week and asked if her wanted to meet up to talk sometime. She said of course and that she would brings her friends. We ended up Meeting with her on Friday and she brought 3 of her friends. We helped answers all of their questions about mormonism and other things. They said they all want to meet again. It was really cool.

 On Saturday me and Sister Peterson drove to a small town outside of Bodø called Fauke to visit a Family. it was so Beautiful! We saw Fjords and the weather was a dream. I felt God's love and for His creations very strongly that day.

Today for p-day we got invited to go to the Aviation Museum (Luftfartmuseum). It was super cool! I saw some cool historic Aircraft. We had chocolate muffins afterwards. What a treat.

I love my mission. I love God. I love Jesus Christ.  I want to help non-believers find God. I want to help believers find God in a different way. There is a way. There is more and it is all so sweet.

Jeg elsker misjonen min. Jeg Elsker Gud. Jeg Elsker Jesus Kristus. Jeg ønsker å hjelpe ikke troende finner Gud. Jeg ønsker å hjelpe troende finner Gud på en annen måte. Der er mer og det er alt så søt.

Love,
Søster Allen

Fauke Drive (pictures don't do it justice)

In Tromo for ZLT - I ate reindeer pizza

Sister Peterson sneakily took a Picture of me sleeping.. she said I sleep like a princess. 

What a gem.

Bodo is Beautiful - Picture Overload!!

Wow.. I hope you are ok with all thePictures I just sent! They are so fun! 

I had a wonderful time in Oslo and Nordstrand. It was truly hard to leave all the People I love so much. I actually missed my plane to Bodø, so that was a little stressful, but I made the next plane. 

Bodø is soo different compared to Oslo. I came from a fast passed city, to a tiny slow paced town. I love it! It is actually fitting to my calm soul. 

Bodø is known as the windy city and that is true. It is Cold because of the Wind, but other than that the weather is actually really Nice and the sun never goes Down.... so I always see and feel the sun! We have blankets and sheets to cover Our Windows when we sleep. 

My Companion Sister Peterson and the Senior couple, The Storheims picked me up from the airport. My Apartment is huge!! It is like a house! We have a huge couch and two pianos in the living room. We have a study room, kitchen bedroom. It is so Nice. 

This is my new friend, Alfrida and my new Companion Sister Peterson

We meet for Church in the 2nd floor of a business building. There are only like 12 members! It is soo humbling and the spirit is so strong. These People are amazing and are a great example of faith. We are doing a lot of finding in Bodø. We actually had a guy contact us on the second day I was here and wanted to meet. It was a great chat and the spirit was so strong. There is a lot of work to be done and People to be found in Bodø. Also, I am really excited to get to know the branch and help build up the ward. We don't have car, so we take the bus and walk every where. 

It is the cutest Place to do missionary work. Super different than Oslo, but it fits my personality. The dialect is a lot different, but I like it! It is actually easier to understand for me.. so that's a plus. It is a lot slower paced. This is my sted!

Enjoy all the Pictures!

Tusen Takk for støtte og kjærlighet! 

Love,

Søster Allen
