Week 19 - When it rains, it pours!

Hey everybody!

So first off, sorry I didn't email last week, I lost track of time and forgot. lol But I remembered this week, so no worries! :) This week was crazy and went by super fast. We had stake conference this weekend and the stake president asked one of the less actives that we have been working with to sing in the Saturday session and it went super well! He loves church now, and he has been pretty much every Sunday since I've been here. We found 2 new investigators that are pretty positive and I'm really excited to start working with them. 

To explain my title, long story short, on Thursday it started as a pretty normal day. We were out contacting and this black guy spit on me. Hit me right in the dang face! So that was gross. Then about 10 seconds later, I almost got hit by a bus. haha I got across the street and had to stop and recoup. I really didn't realize what happened until after. Then, probably 2 hours later, we realized that we were going to be late for a dinner appointment, so we were fast walking to catch the bus and we saw it at the stop so we ran. I hopped a little fence that I thought I could clear and you're not going to believe it, I RIPPED MY PANTS. Pair number 5, Gone... But I was able to keep a good attitude about the whole thing, so it ended up being a really fun day. haha

This week I have been reading a lot in the Bible in Isaiah, and a Chapter that really stuck out to me was Chapter 12. It is really short (I think thats why I liked it so much) no, it just gave me a lot of strength and encouragement for this week. I would invite you all to take like 5 minutes and read that. Ponder about it and see how you can more apply the scriptures in your life.

I love you all and hope you have a a fantastic week like always! Don't forget to Keep the Faith.

Love,

The last day of April is a holiday in Sweden called Valborg.  It's where they have huge bon fires, some over 20 feet tall.  They burn away the winter and welcome the spring!
