Week 46 - Bike ride adventure in Sweden

Week 46 - Bike ride adventure in Sweden

    We got two referrals from someone Elder Hambrick baptized in his last area. They lived pretty far away in a place called Vegby. About 20 miles away. The bus would have dropped us off there with five hours until the next bus came and we only had one house to swing by. It wasn't really a city. More like scattered farms and stuff and we wouldn't really have much to do. So we decided to bike instead of taking the bus. We figured we could be faster that way. 10/10 would recommend trying to bust out a 40 mile bike ride with a missionary body and dress clothes on. Puts hair on your chest. We made it there no problem and our referral was home. Then on the way back, I was pretty pooped. We were looking at our watch thinking that this might not turn out too good at the pace we were going, so we decided to lock our bikes up and take the bus back. (bikes aren't aloud on busses) It's a good thing we caught that bus too because the next one wouldn't have had us home until like 11:30 that night.
     We taught someone this week that grew up in Communist Hungary and so knew pretty much nothing about religion. That was pretty cool. She told us she secretly borrowed a Bible from a priest during those times and read some. We taught her about prayer and stuff. She thought it was all really interesting. 
     Also taught the music duo Swedish couple again. They are so nice. They got us little gifts to take home with us. They gave me a Bible on a key chain. It's tiny, but you can read the words with a magnifying glass.
    I said last week that I had the best burger I had had in Sweden. That is now false. I had it this week at a place called Tugg. It was pretty good. Everyone there was eating their hamburgers with a fork and knife. Haha only in Sweden. That was way too civilized for us so we just ate it like it ought to be done.
    We're just loving life out here meeting awesome people and helping everyone we can :)

Hope you all have a good one!
