Hejsan allihopa!
What a fantastic week! Why was it such a good week you ask? Well it's because I got to eat at my favourite restaurant in Sweden 2 times this week. The restaurant is called La Netas and it's pretty much the only good Mexican food you can find in Sweden and wow it's some good stuff. As we were helping a member move some heavy furniture this past Saturday, one of the members told us that if we could throw a snowball and hit the far away garbage can, he would take us all out to la netas,and so elder Lewis took one for the team and hit it after just a few attempts and so that's where got to go this morning with a member and his son. I was in heaven!
In a big moment of confusion, elder Lewis and I also had to travel two additional times to the doctor's for elder Lewis TB test. It took 4 nurses and a doctor to make the diagnosis and even when they diagnosed elder Lewis, they said, well it SEEMS to he okay, but it is a difficult diagnosis. Always comforting when the doctor tells you that right?
This week was filled with a lot of other good things too, including MLC. As MLC approached, President youngberg came down with a pretty bad sickness, as most people are this time of year, and so he called an audible and had elder Lewis and I lead most of the MLC. It was a little nerve racking but it went pretty good and we got to talk a lot about our expectations and how we all can improve in our mission and so I look forward to zone conference next week where we get to teach some of the topics that were discussed! We all had a sad realisation when we realised that all of the elders in the MLC all go home by the end of August and so the leadership in this mission is about to complete shift to new leaders.
As we were out tracting this week, we had no idea what to say when we came to a certain door. Elder Lewis ended up talking first and the first thing that came into his head was family history and it turned out this guy loved doing family history and welcomed us in to talk more. When we got to come back, we compared family trees and shared stories from our family and the Spirit came into the room. Because the Spirit was there, the conversation was able to go to a more spiritual note and we began talking about why we look for ancestors and how we can build those relationships we have and make them last for eternity. The conversation sparked such an interest that he now wants a Book of Mormon and to continue to learn more from us. It was a great experience! You never know who is ready to accept the gospel and what will interest them, but once the Spirit touches them, it changes their life.
Hope y'all have a good week! Take care!
