My new friend here in Norway is an American man who are an LDS, and even he has not been in Norway for a long time, he actually write and speak Norwegian language very well

The church provides some language training before sending missionaries to speak a foreign language. It differs some but I think 4-6 weeks is typical.

There is good training. However I think the Lord provides a ton of blessings as languages can be hard. Back 100 or so years ago we had no language training and just asked missionaries to learn while in the land. That was pretty tough.

I doubt he will care.

It’s not allowed in our beliefs, but hardly odd to be around people drinking coffee. I served coffee for year working different jobs it never bothered me.
