Hej allihopa!
I got to meet the ward this week!
It felt good to go back to church and take the sacrament. I don't know
about you guys, but I really start to feel lack of sacrament even after
one week. Thank goodness for the sacrament. I received a very warm
welcome from the ward including an assignment to speak next week.
Actually really looking forward to introducing myself. It's weird to not
know anybody! I knew everyone in Sundsvall and felt like I was home at
church and now I don't know anyone again! It's a big ward too, so it's
going to take some time for me to really get to know everyone. I'm
excited though. It's a really good place. We're planning to really dig
deep with the members this transfer and help people refer their friends
to us so we can refer them to God :) I'm excited! We also want to spend
lots of time with the less active members of the ward.
In answer to your Question, We are finding people to teach yes :) Still not easy, but we're going to try finding through the members out a little more. Sometimes, things seem a little routine here and I wonder if I am moving forward. If you were here just for a minute and got to see me speaking Swedish, helping people, even cooking yummy food (we made fried rice, crepes, potatoe and sausage, spaghetti, french toast, and all sorts of stuff this week) and teaching the gospel, and that makes me realize how much good I really am doing and that I really am progressing personally :)
In other news, I was looking through our iphone, clearing it out in
preparation for our new phones later this transfer and I found this
recording just called 'Potatoe Hunter - Äldtse Payne'. So I listen to it
and hear Jared Payne explaining what it takes to hunt a wild potato,
the cast system in Idaho, traditional garb for a potato hunter, how
dangerous wild potatoes are, how to domesticate potatoes... It's
literally a twenty minute interview... That was pretty funny to find.
Needless, to say, I learned a lot about my home state.
Love you all! Have a great week!
Äldste Denton
It's starting to melt :)
