Ap splits part 2

This week was pretty pretty solid!

On tuesday we taught Sheyla again, she's really awesome! It's so cool to see her desire to be more Christlike, and the effort she puts in to meet that desire! We taught that at like 7:30am, then right afterwards we had interviews with president. The weather was pretty awful....

Wednesday we were on splits with the APs again! This time I was with Eldef Sorenson. He's a beast. We had district council, then we went to a library to do some companionship study. After that we got to do some knocking! It was great, we found a new friend, Esther! She's pretty cool. Later that day we went to a different library to teach a man named Samuel. The lesson went really well. It was the first time that anyone not a member of the church quoted James 1:5 to me haha. He's really great!

Thursday was LONG. We woke up at 3:00am to take the APs to the airport, about 45 minutes away. Between that time and 7:00, I drove like 3 hours straight. The weather was horrid, like the water on the road couldn't even fill in puddles because the wind was so strong. So right when we got back to Reykjavik, the APs called and told us that all flights to Europe had been canceled. So we went back to pick then up. I was exhausted.

Friday we met with Margrét! She's a beast! She got her first calling and she's so excited for it. She also plans to go into a lesson with us!

This week's been super busy and it's fantastic! I feel anxiously engaged! I also feel like I've learned so much in the past few weeks that I wish I'd learned earlier. This is definitely the best life!

Love you all!

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 ...
