Well this week went well. It was my companions 21st birthday on Wednesday and a couple of youth from our ward invited us to come over and play risk with them. It was really fun and I think it was the first time that I have won at risk, I will say though it was interesting to play in Swedish. Right after we went to a besoks kvällen which is basically when we visit less actives from our ward with some of the members, it was a great experience, I went with our ward mission leader and we visited an older lady. We talked a little bit about how it is important to have faith and to always pray, I think that it helped her a lot and she was very thankful that we had come. Her son who was just 50 died last month and he lived in Germany so they did not have a bunch of contact. That was hard for her but she said something about being glad that she would be able to meet him again soon (this was all in Swedish so it was a little hard to follow at times). Overall it was a great experience though.
We had Zone training this week on Thursday which was great, we went to Göteborg and after the training we went out to kebab for lunch, it was a good meeting, and also good kebab.
Later that day we helped a lady from our ward pick up a coffee table, which was good, and after wards she wanted to take us out to kebab. We graciously declined saying that we were full so she said that she could take us next week. right outside of her apartment I saw a super cool little motorcycle and took a picture of it see below... and it was a mustang, haha
We visited Hjalmar and Anna again this week and they were talking about getting a divorce, not because they don't love each other, but because when they got married they stopped getting some money from the government. We taught them about how Satan works harder on us when we do good things and I think that it went well because after teaching Hjalmar said, "were not going to get a divorce, because we are not going to let Satan win" lessons with them are always interesting.
On Saturday we played Innebundy in the morning at the church, it was really fun, it is basically like hockey, but no skates. We also swung by a lady's house who we met the day before, her name is Maria, and she is from Syria, but she has lived here for 20 years, she said that she was Christian, and she wanted us to teach her 21 year old son.
On Sunday we had a really cool experience. So a couple of weeks ago we met a bus driver who asked us what it was that we did, because he saw us around all the time and we were always taking buses, we told him that we were missionaries for our church, and that we were from America. When he found out we were from America he was super excited, he said that he loved America, and that he even had an American flag in his apt. we met him a few more times, we gave him our number and we told him to call us. On Sunday he called us and said that he did not have to work today so we should come over to his house. We met him at 6pm, and he even picked us up. He came with his girlfriend or wife (they have been together for five years) and drove us to his apt. It was super cool, he and his wife are from Kostovo and they love America. we ended up being able to teach them the restoration and part of the plan of salvation. It was super cool because they had a muslim background and so we even taught them about Christ. we left them a Book of Mormon in Swedish, but we are going to get them one in Albanian, because his wife speaks only a little Swedish.
anyways that's pretty much it but I hope you all are well.
Med Kärlek
