Well this week was good. We saw Sanne!!! It was actually a pretty cool experience, because first we lost our phone in Göteburg (we got it back the next day though) which made us miss the train, which made us an hour late, so we had to cancel FHE. all of these things that we though were pretty annoying seems like they happened for a reason because on the last bus we got on to go home we saw Sanne. She said "hey" and we sat by her and talked to her for a bit, it turns out that her phone is broken and she is getting it repaired which is why we haven't been able to contact her. the Lord really does work in mysterious ways.
Anyway let me just go through the highlights of the week:
Tuesday, We went to Udevalla and met with a less active for lunch, it was super cool because we went to a sushi restaurant, first sushi in Sweden (it was ok). We have been trying to help her get active in the church and she couldn't come this last week because she was going on vacation, but we have strong hopes that she will come to church
this Sunday.
Wednesday: I think that one of the funniest things that i have experienced on my mission is interacting with small Swedish children, we went to the Svensons for dinner and they have three small children. It was so funny because they only know a few English words such as "bear", or "lion" just simple words, but it was really funny to try and talk with them because they are just so cute.
Thursday: We have two new elders and a new sister in our district, so district meeting was even more fun than normal, and we ate at Fontana again which was great. Elder Farley, Elder Olsen and sister Willhite are the new peoples names.
Friday: Our ward had a music night
on Saturday which was awesome, but we handed out flyer's the night before just the neighborhood around the church... the funniest door we knocked on was actually one that we didn't. We walked up to it planning on knocking on it and just as we were about to it opened and a middle aged man marched out in his shirt and underwear... we told him who we were and we invited him to the music night, this was all as he went to his car and got his pants, so we just followed him around, as he got his pants he asked "vad har du för budskap" which means what do you have for a message... he had a really strong accent, I think that was was Irish, but it made it really hard to understand him. anyway we followed him back to his house, we just stood at the door, and were talking to him as he was putting on his pants. He asked things like... "so you guys can't get blood transfusions right? oh wait not that is the Jehova's witnesses" or "so you guys have a lot of wives?" It was an interesting discussion and at the end he said "well I need to go and drink some spirit, do you guys drink spirit?" we said no and then we bid him farewell and he got in his car and drove away, and we kept knocking on doors. It was actually a really funny experience.
on Saturday we played soccer with the youth, went to a baptism in Kunsbaka, and finished off the day by going to the music night that our ward held. Unfortunately none of the people we invited came, but there were still a lot of people there.
anyway I love you all and I hope that you are well,
Med Kärlek
