Honestly this week has thrown me threw a loop... First we can skype with our families, second at that conference on Friday we found out that Norway is a technology mission, and third the assistants released moves saturday night... At this point I do not know how much more of this I can take...
This is really exciting though! Everything in the church is moving forward at such a rapid pace! Thanks to our 93 year old Prophet who is running at 100 mph! Sadly the technology is going to come in four months so I will be home by then, but I think i will be alright without having to transition over to technology!

Our Wonderful Members
We had an awesome family here who helped us a lot this week! We heart attacked the family who had lost their little daughter, and this awesome family helped us during their winter vacation to make hearts. The next thing they did was tell us to invite someone we were teaching over to dinner with them. We attempted but Arinze was too busy. When we told them that they said "Oh, just invite him over for dinner after church on Sunday and we will eat dinner with him and teach a lesson!" They then even agreed to doing a companionship study with us to prepare for the lesson!

Dinner and a Show
Arinze came to church which was awesome! After church the members drove him home and we met them there. We prepared dinner together, laughed, and talked! Dinner was delicious, and this family was so wonderful and really had a genuine interest in Arinze. After dinner we taught Arinze. The family helped us teach the Plan of Salvation! It was incredible and the spirit was so strong! Arinze told us that this plan made sense to him both in his head, logically, and in his heart, spiritually!

Moves
Moves was this last week and we found out that Elder Barnes will be taking his journey to the west, Sandes. I will miss him! I will be getting Elder Greenwood as my companion! I have met him before and have been on splits with him! This next transfer is gonna be legendary!
As I prepared for Arinze this week I study the bible a lot. As I read I came across a verse in Revelations that has an amazing promise in it. In Revelation 3:21
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
I thought it was an amazing promise from the Savior. The ability to not only return to our father in heaven but to be, as the Romans 8:17 says, "heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ..."
