Tromsø has been a dream!! We have done so much here and the people I have met
and friendships I have made, I will cherish forever!! There are so many
fantastic people here!! Tromsø has so much potential and I am so blessed that I
got to be a part of building up this wonderful branch!! The people here will forever
hold a special place in my heart!!

So on Monday we flew to Trondheim for a Zone Conference!!
Man I love those!! It was so fun to travel and then visit a new place and see
other missionaries!! I love love love the missionaries here!! They are all so
awesome!! It was a two hour flight to Trondheim and it is beautiful might I
add!! Zone Conference was so amazing!! President was there and literally what
he talked about and what was talked about at the conference was an answer to my
prayers!! I just love when that happens!! I am so grateful that I get to serve
the Lord and I get to be surrounded by so many amazing people with such strong
testimonies and strong desire to share the gospel! Missionary work is the
greatest!!
Welcome to Trondheim, Norway!
Beautiful!!!
Reunited with Elder Gingrich!!
Søsters Randall and Leiland

At Zone Conference an Elder who was going home after
this transfer gave his last testimony and it was the best testimony I have ever
heard! You could tell that he was an amazing missionary, worked hard, and did
all that he needed to do here. You could tell that he had learned and grown so
much and how much he loves this gospel!! It was the coolest experience ever!! I
hope that I can be like that at the end of my mission and have people think
these things about me! I would hope that all missionaries would be like him when
they are about to go home!

So because of General Conference this coming weekend
we had fast Sunday yesterday. My last fast Sunday in Tromsø and bearing my
testimony in front of like 15 people! Dang I am going to miss that haha. I love
love love fast Sunday!! I love hearing people's testimonies!! The people here
in Tromsø are so strong! It's crazy to see how much I have grown and how less
nervous I am getting up to bear my testimony!!
Eliza, an 8 year old girl in the branch got baptized
yesterday!! She is part of the American family in the ward (The Reynolds). I was so glad that I got to see that before I
left!! She was baptized in a swimming pool and she was so excited!! It was the
greatest thing to see her glowing!!
I just LOVE their kiddos!!
I am so excited to serve with Søster Johannessen! We
were in the MTC together and are great friends!! It is going to be so fun!! Look out Bergen!! You have no idea what is
coming for ya!!!

Jordan's Tidbits:
- Norway has an Easter chicken, not Easter bunny
- The schools here get a whole week off for Easter or (Påske)
and all the stores and shops completely shut down! It is so crazy!! Everyone
goes to the Mountains to cabins and to ski and many Norwegians don't even
correlate Easter with Christ! It is so sad!
- Really think about Easter and why we celebrate
Easter
- It is a normal thing for people to leave their
babies in the strollers outside of stores and shops while they are inside!!
What the heck!! So crazy!!!
Åndelig Tanker:

and you will never go astray*
*Perfection comes over time, it is up to us how fast
we progress*
