Technology and Missionary Work
In Norway there are obviously Norwegians
that live here, but there are also a lot of people from other countries as well.
When we go and talk to people on the street, it is almost every other person
doesn't come from Norway it seems like, so there are a lot of different
languages and cultures represented here. Sometimes when we are teaching, that
presents a challenge and a language barrier between the missionaries and the
investigators. There have always been ways to cope with this issue, but now with
the advancement of technology, missionaries from our mission have been able to
Skype missionaries serving in the native countries of investigators here to help
with teaching. So, in the past month, missionaries have been Skyping a couple of
elders in Albania so that they can teach a lady from there, and she got baptized
this last week! The missionaries were able to participate in the meeting via Skype. One of them gave a talk, and they both bore their testimonies at the end,
and it was really cool. I know that the Lord is hastening His work, and He is
using all of the resources available to do it. There are so many ways we can get
involved, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be here as a part of His army
on the front lines.
