We spent a lot of time setting up lessons and tracting and stuff like that this week. I got to see some familiar faces in church yesterday when a lady from the Stockholm ward and her daughter showed up to sacrament meeting. That was pretty cool!
We taught a
guy that isn't active this week. He told us some really cool stories
about when he served in the military down in Africa. My favorite was
this one time he snuck out of camp to visit a nice family he had made
friends with from all the other times he had snuck out of camp. He had
20 minutes before the nightly role call and he was making his way back
in the pitch dark. He said that as he started walking through the thick
forest, he kept hearing something behind him, but every time he stopped,
it stopped. It was then that he remembered the nice family he had been
with warning him about a lion that lived nearby. The lion was stalking
him getting closer and closer waiting to pounce. So he loaded his pistol
slowly and then sprinted. He dived to the ground and turned around so
he could see the lion's silhouette charging at him with an open mouth
against the night sky and right as it was about to reach him, he shot
three times and it collapsed right in front of him. The gun shots got
everyone in the nearby military camp excited so he sprinted to the back
side of the camp and went into his tent and pretended to be sleeping.
They found him and got him to talk and he had to spend seven days tied
to a post out in the sun and seven days in a little prison cell for
sneaking out of camp. Pretty awesome story I thought.
Well that was pretty much my week :)
Love you all,
