June 30
Thanks for the birthday wishes!!! It was a great day! The relief society had an activity and we ate lots of cake!! 

also! We taught a women with alzheimers this week! She was 94!!! She was ancient!!!  we didn't realize how old she was or that she had alzheimers because when she answered the door she didn't actually come down and open the door, she just yelled at us from her deck, and told us to come around to the back door.  And she was one of the first nice people to talk to us all day.  so we came in and tried to teach her, but she ended up just telling us her life story about 3 times... because she'd forgotten that she'd already told us.  And then she kept asking us who we were and couldn't hear or understand us, all we could get across to her was that we were from America, and then she would forget and ask us again, and get excited all over again! We realized that she might just have to wait until the next life to hear our message so we said a prayer with her to end it and during the prayer she forgot everything we had just talked about, so as we slowly, slowly, walked with her to the door she told us her life story one more time and made us introduce ourselves again, haha.  But she was really sweet and so grateful for our visit! 

But the miracle of the week is that a man who we'd given a card to called us back the same day and said he'd looked at the website and felt that we were really positive, so he wanted to get a Book of Mormon! We met with him and he has struggled with some things but realizes it's time for him to get his life in order and fix things with his family- his wife and children.  And he knows this can help!! 

We were really blessed this week! lots of good things happened!  Arendal is a magical place. 

Jeg er glad i dere!
