Busy Week!

Hei hei familie!
So this week has been great! (and last week) I went to Trondheim on Monday morning and got home tuesday night. We were planning on emailing then, but got home too late and things didnt work out...and then we couldnt yesterday because we ended up with no time! But Trondheim was GORGEOUS! I have come to figure out that I really love these big cities here in Norway. Knowing that we can step outside and see LOADS of people is so great to me! Here in Ksand its different, not as many people..but thats alright. On monday we were able to have Pday with all the missionaries in the North and West Zones! SO FUN!!! We played sports and I went to the Domkirke (the biggest one in Norway)! and it was GORGEOUS! We just took pics outside becuase it is 70 kr to go in! But then we had dinner, checked into our hotel, and then contacted for a few hours. IT IS GORGEOUS THERE! :) I contacted with sister johnson, and then went on splits with sister clark (my trainer) which was SO FUN! Because trondheim was her first area and so it was fun to go around there with her :) we actually got an appointment for the missionaries there! So that was cool! At our hotel we got free hot chocolate and fruit...kjempe deilig! And I had an amazing sleep! :)
The next day we had a HUGE continental breakfast at the hotel...i feasted hahaha....and then we had Zone Conference....Elder Kearon..the first councelor over Western Europe...spoke to us. It was amazing!!!!!!!! I dont have much time so im writing quick..sorry! But that was great! Afterwards we flew home later that night and got home a little after nine. But man it was so great to see everyone and be there and hear from him and President and Sister Evans! :) But this past week...that you all didnt hear about...was a rollercoaster! On last, last Pday, we had one of our investigators with a baptismal date tell us that he wanted a break because his brother was in the hospital, his aunt died, and his gpa or something died too. But we asked if we could meet once more before he decided. And so we did and we pretty much just had a lesson telling him how much we love and care about him and why we are even here. We all were on the verge of crying and I felt more Love than I have my whole mision i think. He agreed to meeting with us again, and he is still one of our investigators. :) The rest of the week was pretty good! On sunday we had 23 investigators come! One of thems name is Wafaaa and she is from Iraq! I LOVE HER SO MUCH! She can speak a little norsk, not perfect though...but I translated the english class into norsk for her which was way fun! :) And then on Sunday, our investigator, David, got his baptismal interview from one of our elders here. OH! We have elders here now! haha, one that was in sister johnsons mtc group, and the other that has been here a few more months than us. So we have a ksand district now! Anyways, elder cooper interviewed david. To tell this story pretty short....afterwards, we told david that peter, a new convert, could techincally baptize him. and david got all mad ish...saying he wanted a priest to baptize him! So we didnt have lots of time to talk...anyways, all was okay....and then we met with him yesterday and he let us know that he felt bad for how he acted and that ``my spirit told me to just listen to what you both said`` So the baptism is still going to happen and all is good! He is ready and we are so excited!!!!! :) It will be this saturday so I will let you know how that goes!!!!! :) Sorry i have like 10 minutes left!!! Anyways, also, when we were contacting last week the funniest thing happened....sister johsnon stopped a man and he wasnt really interested. But before he left he lifted his hand up next to sister johnsons face and petted it for probably 3 seconds and told us he wasn't interested hahahahahahaha so funny!

Anyways, I love you all so much and ill write to you all again on Monday!!!
Love, Søster Chapman
