Hello!

 

Cool to hear about your missionary experiences Mom! I always get really excited when you talk about sharing the gospel or working with less actives.  It reassures me that there will be plenty of opportunities to keep sharing the gospel when I get home.

Uncle Kyle will be a fantastic bishop! Cool.

We had an awesome week! We had Zone leader training.  We are too far away from stavanger to go there for it, so the zone leaders come to bergen and have it with just our district.  They asked me and Sister Peterson if we would take a part of it about working with new converts.  We got a whole bunch of fruit and had one of the elders try to catch and hold onto all of the fruit that was thrown at him- impossible.  So then we gave him a basket to catch the fruit in and he was able to catch most of it.  And then we shared some quotes from President Hinckley about how there is no purpose in doing missionary work if we don't hold onto the fruits of our effort.  It was a cool object lesson:)  

Then we went to Kristiansand and Arendal to go on splits with the sisters there.  It was sooo good! They are awesome missionaries!

Moves are on wednesday.  I'm leaving Bergen.  I was really hoping to stay here for the rest of my mission but I guess it's too good to be true.  I'm being released as sister training leader and I'm going to Arendal.  It's a little, little city and there's just a branch there.  So it will be very different from all the other places I have served.  But it will be good.  

I love you all! Have a great week!

Love, Søster Knapp

p.s. my release date is July 24.

This week was amazing! It was soo good!

 

We have a less active member that we're working with.  He's trying to get over using drugs and when we asked him what would help to not do drugs, he said yoga.  So we are doing yoga with him once a week.  I think it's helping all of us.  

 

Then we met with some other really cool people that we've been trying to meet with for a while.  And on friday we were on our way to a ward activity, but we wanted to try back a house really close to the church that we had knocked on the week before.  We knocked on the door and a man opened the door wide and said "come in" before we had even said anything, and hardly even looking at us he just walked back into the other room where he was busy making dinner.  We just stood there in shock for a minute so he came back in and motioned us in and showed us where to hang our coats.  Then led us to the table in the other room and his wife and daughter came and sat down with us while he made dinner.  The mom told us about how she had been visited by missionaries 11 years before and she really likes our church, her daughter is getting ready to be baptised and confirmed next year when she turns 15 (Most all norwegians get confirmed in the norwegian church when they turn 15 whether they are christian or not- just for the sake of tradition)  But her daughter does believe in God and has a lot of question about Jesus Christ.  So we sat there at their dining room table and taught their daughter about Jesus Christ while they made us eat dinner with them.  They were so nice!!! We're going back tonight.

 

Saturday we met with Eva! We lost contact with her and haven't seen her in about a month.  We couldn't get a hold of her but then i remembered the other day that we had her email adress so we sent her an email.  And she responded saying she would love to meet! She had gotten a new phone number and was sending us messages but our phone wasn't receiving them.  So we finally got to meet with her and we had an amazing teach with her! And she came to church yesterday! She loved it!  She is probably my favorite person i've met on my mission.  She's soo cool! I am so happy that we found her again.  So happy! 

 

I hope you all have a good week! Love you!
