Week 42 - IT'S A BOY!

Stockholm!  The promised land!

Hallå allihopa! 
This week has been one of FULL of tender mercies. We can just start off with those. :) first, last P-day, I received a training call! And after moving around so much these past couple months, I get to stay in Alingsås for a little while longer. :) This week is Elder Scotts last week! I have had such a good time serving with him and learning from him. He is a stud. :) 

This past Tuesday, we had a pretty cool experience while we were out contacting! We have been having a hard time find new people to teach, and we have not had very much success contacting. But we have been praying and trying to work as hard as we can, so that the Lord can bless us! But anyways, we were our contacting and this guy starting walking towards us. He had tattoos and gages. Not going to lie, in my head, I said "Oh boy, here we go again" (I feel really bad about that. I have been trying to be better about NOT doing that.) and we stopped him and he was a devout catholic that was a little closed minded at first. But as we started talking to him, he became a little more relaxed and we gave him a Book of Mormon! We will see if anything comes out of it! Then, next guy we talked to we stopped him and he was a little bitter with God. He told us about how his is kind of questioning his existence. He had a really hard life and wondered why God wasn't there for him. We talked on the street for about a half hour. We testified our hearts out and it was so cool too see his heart soften as the Spirit talked to him. He ending up taking a Book as well and we promised him that if he read with a desire to know the truth that he could receive an answer! He was really excited to take a book and start reading. :) Little long, sorry, but cool experience! 

The rest of this week was really good. We had train the trainers this past Friday in Stockholm. And it was an awesome training! I'm really excited to get my new missionary and help him the best I can! Cool story when we were leaving the training. We finished late, so we had to rush to the station. We hit traffic and it was not looking good to catch my train. I ran to my track, and I was nearly 5 minutes late and low and behold that sucker was still there! There was a signal failure so it had to leave late, and I caught my train! #blessed. 

Little quote from conference for a spiritual thought this week. From President Uchdorfs talk entitled, "A Yearning for Home" and he said ,"God knows your every thought, your sorrows, and your greatest hopes. God knows the many times you have sought Him. The many times you have felt limitless joy. The many times you have wept in loneliness. The many times you have felt helpless, confused, or angry.
Yet, no matter your history--if you have faltered, failed, feel broken, bitter, betrayed, or beaten--know that you are not alone. God still calls to you.
The Savior extends His hand to you. And, as He did to those fishermen who stood long ago on the banks of the Sea of Galilee, with infinite love He speaks to you: “Come, follow me.”" And I KNOW that is true. :) I love this gospel and sharing it with others.

I hope you all have a great week! Thanks for bearing with me through this long email. Haha love you all so much and home you have a great week! As always, Keep the Faith. :) 

Love,
