Wow what a week,
Lots
of visiting, friendshiping, eating, and even a little tennis. (We
played with a member of the ward and his son in law... They beat us
pretty good but we put up a good fight)
Had
so much awesomeness happen. Lots of it revolved around less active
members and part member families. We invited an inactive couple to talk
with the Bishop about going to the temple trip in two weeks. They seemed
super willing to change whatever they needed to go. Even if they didn't
get to go in the temple, they were down to come. We talked with our
ward mission leader before going, we had a member with us who drove us
part of the way (quite a trek otherwise) and we just decided to swing
by. They were so happy and filled with the Spirit by the time we left
that she called her best friend in the church right after just to tell
her how awesome it was. We told the bishop what we did and he said he'd
call them to follow up. We talked with their ministers about helping
them to start family history. They were both really interested in
learning that. If they did join in the temple trip, that would make the
number of ward members going on the three day temple trip 99. Their goal
is to have 100 people with. They probably have about 120 active members
so it's almost the entire ward.
This ward is on fire!
There's
an election coming up quick across Sweden. Lots of political rallies
and stuff. Swedes are really funny when it comes to politics. I've seen
some people discuss politics with each other and they're so polite and
considerate. It throws me off actually. There will be someone that asks
who everyone is voting for and I just brace myself for an argument, but
one guy is just like
"Yes I like the left party I think I'll vote for them." And the next guy is like,
"Oh, I'm voting for the social democrats." and the last one will be like,
"I
thought the liberals had some really nice points. I'm voting for them."
Then they'll just kind of nod and change the subject. They might as
well be talking about the weather or something with how low tension they
are. Haha it's great for us since we're not supposed to discuss
politics as missionaries anyways. Makes it easy.
Hope you guys all have a great week!
