Auðmjúkur

This week was pretty good!

I read an awesome talk by Elder Bednar from apríl 2018. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2018/04/meek-and-lowly-of-heart?lang=eng

Right now I'm a little sick and don't have much energy to write at the moment.

Pray for Margrét, Fahed, Daríel, Funke! They plan to be baptized!

Homecoming Talk

Transcript of talk given in the Willow Creek Ward, March 24, 2024 As you guys know I just returned from my mission last week. My experiences on my mission have been amazing. It’s hard to describe and difficult to express just how unique, how wonderful a mission is. And it’s hard, you can’t express it in 20 minutes, you can’t express it in an hour. But today I wanted to talk about having faith to move mountains. Having faith in Jesus Christ to move the mountains in our lives. When I had just arrived in Iceland, the first month of being in Iceland there was a rededication of the land, or not a rededication of the land, a rededication of ourselves, of the members and the missionaries to the work, to sharing the gospel, to fulfilling our covenants and lifting each other up. And to do so, Elder Kapishke, who was a former member of the area presidency, there came. Elder Kapishke is amazing. He’s given a few General Conference talks. If you have a chance I’d definitely recommen...

Sæll and sæl! This week has been so long! So much has happened. I got my travel plans! I check into the travel office at the MTC on monday at 3 30am! Hopefully I wake up. It was a whole mess and a half to get everything squared away. So last tuesday my name got submitted for reassignment because my visa wasn´t in yet. On wednesday I got it, so I didn't need to be reassigned. Thursday I got my reassignment to San Jose California, but I got my visa so I didn't need to go. Friday I got travel plans to leave Tuesday the 10th, but monday I got updated travel plans to leave the 9th for Iceland. I'm so excited. Also, I finally figured out how to swap between keyboards (Icelandic and English) on this bluetooth keyboard my dad so wisely told me to bring. Thank you so much Father. Ég sagði á vinni Kennaris á Íslensku og þau sagði ég tala mjög goður! If I did that right it says "I talked to friends of my teacher in Icelandic and they said that I speak very well"! that'...

Góðan daginn! This week was pretty interesting! Last week we were on fire and we had so many people progressing, but this week only 2/10 of our lessons actually happened. A bunch of people didn't show up, or ghosted us. It's alright though! Last week President Mattsson challanged us to do 2/3 hours of contacting in ways that capitilized better on the beautiful skandinavian summer, because the winter is kinda horrible for outside finding, as nobody is outside. So we've been doing that and it's been pretty awesome! I wish we had been doing that more since I've been here. I'd say the Iceland missionary culture is changing for the better! We're more hopeful and excited to do the work. Also just a blurb about how President Mattsson's a legend. He has the exact suit that Daniel Craig wore in the first James Bond movie (which I've never seen), but that's a pretty legendery item to own. I can't even imagine how expensive it must've been. My br...
