Hey Everyone!!
What a week it has been! Crazy to think that another week has gone by here in Uppsala. I am still getting used to all the bus routes and where everyone lives, but I am coming into everything slowly but surely.
So, since it was the second week of the transfer, all of us in our district got together here in Uppsala for our district council. Since 1/3 of our district is Swedes (Äldste Karlsson and Norin), we decided to have my first ever district council in Swedish. It was legendary, probably the first time it's been done in this mission for quite some time now! As part of our district council, we thought it would be fun to order some pizzas. We found a student deli close by that had the cheapest food and it was only a few minutes away and so we decided to order pizzas from there. We also decided to read the reviews for fun and came across this one:
'I’m honestly just waiting for the food poisoning to come about right now.
I advise all potential customers to hold their fingers and steer their feet in another direction. This is the worst restaurant in Uppsala.'
So, we went there anyways, brought our pizzas back just to realize that they didn't put my pizza back in the bag and so we had to go back and get my pizza. Well, when I opened the box, all the cheese had fallen off and was in the corner of the box and then I thought back to the review that the man had given and wished I had listened to him. It was literally the worst pizza I have ever had. But anyways, you see, sometimes, we know something is bad and we go ahead and buy it anyways. Make sure that you always choose the right and be sure not to make choices that will damage you. We have prophets and scriptures for a reason, so listen to them.
After that pizza fiasco and interviews with President Youngberg, we got to hang out with Elder Butler and Elder Derr for the rest of the afternoon because their train back to Borlänge wasn't leaving until like 18.30 RIP, but we got to make them a nice dinner and have a good time :D
A huge miracle this week happened Friday afternoon when we got a call from an unknown number. We answered and told him who we were and then he goes 'YES THIS IS MEMBER OF CHURCH LATTER DAY SAINT JESUS CHRIST LATTER DAY SAINTS AND I BAPTIZE I GERMANY FROM BUDAPEST YES IS THIS THE MISSIONARIES?' It was something like that hahah, but it turns out that a man from Nigeria who was baptized in Germany 2006, who lived also in Hungary and Spain, was now here in Uppsala and wanted to find the church because he was a member. This was a huge miracle because 1. This member has so much energy and loves the church with all his heart and 2. Our most positive investigator Donald is also from Nigeria and they became instant friends at church this past sunday!!
And so there's a lot of exciting stuff happening here in Uppsala. 2 more returning members expressed a desire to go to the temple for the first time, and Donald told us that he wants to prepare for baptism. I get to go on splits tomorrow in Gävle and so that will be fun/weird being back in my old area. Hopefully I can help a few of those that I taught a year and a half ago. But that's about it for the week. Ha det bra!
