postuli á Íslandi???

Neiiiiiiii blesssssssssaðurrrrrrrrr!!

Hello guys! Hope you're all doing well! This week was pretty good! We found 2 more people to teach, both of them are from Mexico! It's super awesome. We bonded over mexican food, and roasted Iceland's version of mexican food haha. He said he'd make us tacos and I'm so excited guys. Icelandic tacos are not it. He's super cool though! We found him through our language classes! He's learning both english and Icelandic.

NEWS! Elder Stevenson of the Quorum of the 12 is coming to Iceland on Thursday!!! This is so exciting. He's gonna be meeting with the missionaries for about 2 hours before he gives a public address. It's gonna be super cool to be so close to an apostle and be able to speak with him so closely! There's not too many missionaries here, so it'll be extra personal. He asked for our first names and everything. This hasn't happened in Iceland since before I was born! He had originally planned on doing a mission tour the week after this, but his schedule changed and now he'll only be visiting Iceland for one day, and they moved it up a week. Zone conference is the day after, and President Mattsson will be there... so please pray that Elder Whittle and I will lead a successful conference and be able to follow up Elder Stevenson well!

We went on spilts with Selfoss, they're super. Man this year is flying by though ;-;. I don't like it and can hardly believe that it's September. My 18 month mark is the same day Elder Stevenson will get here.

I've been learning about the joy of repentence this week! A lot of people have asked questions about it. I recommend reading Mosiah 27, Alma 17, and Alma 26! They outline it pretty well! Love you guys! Find joy in changing for the better!

Last transfer calls 😅

Image
Good morning everyone! I hope you've been having a swell week! This week was pretty good! Last monday we got a new friend named Fernando. He's really cool and we're tying to help him to get his own witness that God is there and that there is a plan for everything! On wednesday we found 2 more friends, Gabriela and Lori. They were referrals from a member. They're both super nice and I think they'll connect well with the branch. Yesterday we started teaching the 9 year old son of 2 newly baptized members! He was so excited to learn and is super excited to be baptized! He knows so much already from primary, which was really cool to see! Shout out to primary teachers everywhere. It snowed practically all week... Kind of tiring tbh, but things are going well! Saturday morning we got transfer calls from the ZLs. Sunday will start the beginning of my last transfer (6 weeks) as a missionary. It's kind of surreal to be honest. Now I've gotta start thinking about my...

Uns við hittumst heilir, Jarðskjálftar, o.s.frv.

Góðan og blessaðan daginn! This week was full of all sorts of things. We got to meet Gloria, this Kenyan lady who's really nice. We went with Elder Gunderson and she really liked his passion for the gospel! On Sunday she attended church and really loved it! One of the members picked her up, and the members were fantastic at fellowshipping her. Funke came as well! She's awesome. I've never taught anyone who has a better understanding of the gospel than her. She's ready to be baptized. Please pray for her and her husband! Vyacheslav came as well! He's really great and I could tell he enjoyed it. Elder Whittle and I have been getting along well. Elders Pearson and Richards went home on Saturday (their flight got delayed one day). It was sad to say goodbye and also weird that I'm the 2nd most senior missionary in Iceland haha... On Tuesday we went out to a place called Shake & Pizza, which claims to have had the 4th best pizza in the world, but it wasn't m...

Esther Alfa

Hey guys! This week was crazy. Many unexpected things happened. We learned on Saturday morning that Esther Alfa had passed away. This came as a complete surprise to everyone. She was extremely young to pass away and the cause is yet unknown. I don't know who remembers, but Esther was the first convert that I had the opportunity to teach. She was baptized a few weeks after I got to Iceland. Keep her family in your prayers. Today at FHE we shared memories of her. I shared this verse: Alma 46:21 "And it came to pass that when Moroni had proclaimed these words, behold, the people came running together with their armor girded about their loins, rending their garments in token, or as a covenant, that they would not forsake the Lord their God..." Esther was a devout christian, strong in her faith, and never scared to stand for her belief in the Savior. She was an example of the believers to everyone she was arround. Please keep her family in your prayers! On friday we meet with ...
