Three Companions in Seven Days-Drammen Week Forty Eight

This week was an incredible week of many companions and lots and lots of stories! First things first let me just tell you that being a zone leader is so much fun! The South Zone is so awesome, and I can not believe how hard working everybody is!

Shout Outs!

I realize that I have not told you a lot about my wonderful companion Elder Burgoyne! He comes from Bountiful, Utah! He has been on the mission for 23 months. I will be the companion to send him home! He is still working really and hard and is an awesome Zone Leader who has taught me a lot about how to be an effective leader!

A: Check A journey to Tønsberg

A journey to Tønsberg

Well on Tuesday we took a train down to Tønsberg to go on splits with Elder Fry and Elder Greenwood. Elder Burgoyne took Elder Fry back to Drammen and I stayed in Tønsberg with Elder Greenwood. We did some studies and then just went to the neighborhoods to bank (knock)!! We had a three hour banking session, and nothing really happened. However we did have a blast while knocking and found this little camp area with some stuff so that was really fun! Also this story can not be explained in words... but that is why we have a video!



Bringing the Sargent to Drammen

On Thursday on splits I brought Elder Sargent back to Drammen with me and had a blast! Lots of member visits and finding along the way! We helped a member carry a fridge up three flights of stairs, there was not an elevator! It was a blast though! Elder Sargent and I had pretty similar interests back home, so that was fun to talk about! Had a lot of member visits and it was incredible! Loved being able to talk to the members about their missionary work and where they are!
Elder Sargent and Elder Shanklin

Just two Elders having a good time

Besides that it was just kind of a normal week! Since I literally have no time to finish this right now I wanted to share an awesome video from the Church's Easter Initiative! I just love this video literally the best video ever! Take like 3 minutes to watch it!


Because of Him

ALSO EVERYONE, ELDER SHANKLIN NEEDS SOME HELP!
Well I need anybody that has ways that missionaries have inspired them to do missionary work. Spritual thoughts, how they followed up, etc. Let me know, because I do not really know what I am doing at this point! Just using trial by fire! ANY IDEA WILL HELP!

Vær så god!
Dream Big
Don't Doubt
Give 'em Heaven!
