Week 75 - Pennies from Heaven

Week 75 - Pennies from Heaven

I will never get over the sun in Sweden. I talk about it all the time, I know. I've just gained a huge appreciation for it since experiencing two winters in the great, white north. It's coming out now about 11 hours a day. We have dailight savings on the 31st of March here and by then we will have gained two hours of sunlight and will have 13 hours of sunlight a day. By the time midsummer gets here, we'll be basking in 19 hours of sunlight a day here in Stockholm with even more up north. It feels soo good, even with the late snow storms we've been getting.

The sun has also come up on missionary work in our area and we have a baptism on the 23rd of this month! Remember that guy that called and wanted to be baptized? He actually lives in our area and we've been teaching him all week. He's incredible. Totally willing to commit, super sharp, learns fast, outgoing and friendly... It's been a real treat to teach him. His name is Leo and he's eighteen. 

It's been awesome to see how even with our limited time to proselyte in the office, the Lord provides as we put forth our best effort and trust in him. We've been having a good amount of success recently and I know it's thanks to the efforts of lots of people serving now in lots of areas as well people who have served here before us. 

We ate dinner with the senior couple that takes care of housing in the mission and a lady in our ward named Excellent as well as her daugter. It was super inspiring to hear her bare her testimony and tell of all the things she's been through. As Elder Clouse put it, "If anybody shouldn't belive in God, it's her after everything she's been through." And yet she's got such strong faith. Such an inspiring example.

Well, I'm happy, I love life, and I'm going to eat tacos for lunch. So I'd say everything is fine :)

Have a great week!
