Luckily the internet
was not down this week!!! Happy day!!!
So this week was very
interesting....
On Monday we did a picture
scavenger hunt with the Elders! Obviously Søster Frampton and I won!! My
favorite picture would be the one where I went into the window of a store and
posed with a mannequin or the one where I had to climb onto a boat!! Both of
those were very sketchy considering they were both probably not allowed!
The zone leaders
talked about ways to become better missionaries and methods we could use when teaching. And guess what!!!!! They used quotes they had found by Mark
Ogletree!! I was like - oh my gosh I
know him!! It was so neat! (Brother Ogletree - YOUR FAMOUS!!)
On Thursday Søster
Frampton and I took a boat to go have lunch with a member and we brought a less
active and her nonmember sister with us!! It was so cool!!
The boat ride was
beautiful!!! The member's house we ate at looked like it was from a magazine!! She is very fancy and loves high class
things. We ate by candlelight and had very fancy silverware and plates!
On the boat ride back the boat was having problems so Søster Frampton and I
were stuck on it in the harbor for an hour..... If you ask Søster Frampton she
says we were sinking and on the Titanic hahaha, but it was a good possibility
the boat could have stopped working on the way back and we would have been
stranded in the fjord.....
I just love Miriam!!
Here are some extra pictures from the past two weeks since I couldn't
post pictures last week :)
On Friday I went to
the hospital/doctor..... I hadn't been feeling good all week and one of the
elderly couple missionaries whose wife is a nurse thought I could have appendicitis. Well false alarm of appendicitis, so the
doctor had to take blood and stuff and she said she didn't think it was my
appendix and that it's something else so she gave me medicine to take and said
if it doesn't get better to come back in 3-4 days. Well the doctor gave
me medicine which is basically a laxative to clear out my system. I have
taken all four out of the box over the last 4 days and not one has worked... So
I am heading back to the doctor today... total bummer!!!
On Saturday we went to
an International Fair at the International School here and helped out!! So
fun!!!
We also visited a less
active member and his wife and they are so sweet and old!! They kept feeding us
sweets and loved to talk!! The wife even gave me a pair of wool socks she had
sewn herself!!!
Contacting is
contacting still not very much success...
I do love the members
of our ward. This is Evelyn and her cute
son, Gabriel.
She is a new convert to
the church.
And this is one of
my friends in the ward! She is
awesome!
Her name is Celine. She teaches us Norsk! I love her!
Casper's baptismal
date is pretty set!! For November 30th!! I am so excited!! We asked him why he
wanted to be baptized and a member of the church the other day and his response
made me want to just hug him!! (Missionaries can't hug the opposite sex) He
told us that he felt and knew by the Holy Ghost that the Book of Mormon and the
church was true!!! AHH!!!!! So excited and happy for him!!
While teaching the
other day I signed the closing prayer!! So scary!
I have learned that on
a mission the things, places, and people your mother tells you to stay away
from do not apply!! hahaha
I walk up and talk to
sketchy people all the time and it kills Søster Frampton!! Also when I was in
Sandnes not too long ago we went to visit a less active and OH MY!!! He lives
way out in the middle of nowhere!! Perfect scene and set up for a scary horror
movie especially since we were walking!!! We came to a pitch black dirt road
and started walking down it, then we second guessed ourselves that we were going
the wrong way so we called the guy to come meet us. I was freaking out cause I thought for sure
we were going to die. We are huddled together on the side of the road
talking and I turn around to see a man just standing behind us!! He didn't say
a word or anything!!! Just stood there!! I flew about 5 feet in the air and
shoved Søster Hudson in front of me! I was certain we were about to get
kidnapped or worse!! Turns out that was the less active.... We went down the
dark road with him to his house which was way sketchy too... Let's just say I
was very happy to head home after that lesson and talking to him!!
Jordan's Tidbits:
·
Recieving letters are seriously the best
thing ever!!! I love love love letters!!!
·
I have learned that when you eat at someone's
house, start with a little bit because 99% of the time they give you seconds
even if you are full!! The same goes for dessert too!! Always start with a
little!!!

| These were some pazookies with Nutella we actually made!! Yummy!! |
·
Thank you for the sleeping advice!!! I am for
sure going to try that!!
·
Prayers do get answered!!!! Sometimes right
away and sometimes at times when you least expect them too!!
·
If you do what you are supposed to and have
faith, God will make up the difference and help you!!
·
Angels are real!! I have felt some of my
guardian angels so much recently, it is so surreal!!! So grateful for the
experiences I get to have!!!
INVITATION FOR THE
WEEK:
Find a way to do
service for someone every day this week! It doesn't have to be something big!
It could be as simple as texting someone!!
Loved hearing from
people about how they are doing with the invitations!! It makes me so happy!!
Please keep doing them and telling me about them!!
