Hej!
What a day/week it has been! We had the chance to go to the Vasa today. For those of you who don't know what the Vasa is, basically what happened was Kung Gustaf Vasa in the 1600s wanted to build this huge war ship and it ended up failing miserably sinking off the coast of the harbor because of how big it was. Super interesting story, didn't catch all of it though because our tour guide spoke skånska with a German accent so it was hard to understand!
We had transfers this past week and I said goodbye to Elder Derr. His train was set to leave close to 3pm and so we had a ton of time on our hands. We were planning on waiting till he boarded the train but it turned out that another elder was there that could wait with him. So, at just the right moment we left T-centralen. Why do I say the right moment? Well, just as I walked out, I saw a very familiar face, one that was from Övik. I couldn't believe my eyes... I quickly yelled 'Ben!' and he stopped in his tracks and I got to see someone that we would do service for every Saturday in Övik. He was touring Stockholm just that dad with his mom and so the only person that could've orchestrated that kind of meeting was God, especially in such a big city as Stockholm is. I felt låter that night, that that was exactly what he needed to help him come and visit the church in Övik. I hope that he was able to do that this past Sunday!
On Thursday, we got to experience a tripan with Elder Fuller because of a bunch of travel problems and a snow storm that hit. Knocking on doors with 3 people can be quite interesting haha, but we had a great day! We've started to take busses a opt more instead of raking the car and we gave had about 4-5x as many people to talk to and it's been a great way for us to spread the good word!
I feel the past few weeks have been pretty tough for me, and I'm really not quite sure why, but it just seems like the Lord continues to show my weaknesses to me and I'm really seeing how I react when I'm stressed. I tend to forget things and get lost everywhere I go, and i see so many things that need improving, but it's helping me become the person I'm meant to be and I'm grateful for it.
Have a good week everyone! Hejdå
