Alright so this week was full of surprises.
First
surprise was that this super nice family invited us to spend midsummer
with them. Midsummer here is second only to Christmas and we got the day
off from proselyting. Instead, we danced around a pole with shady pagen
vibes and wrapped with leaves and sang Swedish folk songs while holding
hands in a circle and pretending to be different animals and to play
the violin... If you've never been to one of these and you're thinking
it might make more sense if you were there, it might, but not by much.
It was pretty weird :) Then to finish off the longest day of the year,
we went out to a cottage in the middle of nowhere with some ward members
and grilled some food. After dinner, all the men played golf in their
front yard (real golf, not the mini kind). I didn't do too shabby
actually considering I had only golfed one other time in my life. The
'green' was just mowed a little more and pretty much the whole lawn was
at least a little rough. You had to be careful not to hit the cottage
too. All things considered, it was a jolly old time.
Second
surprise is that three people showed up to church with their friends
and we taught them during Sunday School. They had questions about
temples and baptism for the dead. We're meeting them again on Wednesday.
It was a mom, her 19 year-old son, and her fiance. That was pretty
cool! They were really nice people and their friends they came with
helped us teach them and are helping again on Wednesday.
Third surprise is that we got invited last minute for dinner after church and we ate moose :) It was really good.
I
love this place. It is soo fun. The ward is so funny. They are all such
good missionaries too. My companion is a baller. He's a nature kind of
guy. He likes backpacking, fly fishing, and that kind of stuff. He's
from Kaysville, Utah and went to Davis High School. We're only three
months apart in age and he's only been out on the mission six weeks
longer than me. It's pretty cool being with someone who's pretty much at
the same point as you. He reaches his year mark this transfer and I
reach mine the next one in August. Looking forward to really digging in
here in Borås!
Didn't send pics last week so here are a bunch.
Have a great week!
