Week 61 - Hejsan mina vänner! :)

Hejsan mina vänner! :) 
How is going back home! This week has been an awesome/ crazy/ super long/ super short week. Ya know, one of those. :) haha first and foremost, as I said last week we had transfers! Elder Steele is my new comp. He is from Dallas Texas and has been out about 7 months! He is a stud, works really hard and I'm excited to continue to get to know him and work with him! Other highlights from this week! This past week was fettisdag!! It's a holiday when everyone goes and gets these things called semlor. They're these pastries that are a roll with almond  and whipped cream inside, I'll send a pic. Sooooo good. So we got those with the sisters! A member from LA called us up and wanted to go out with us so we were able to do that as well so that was cool. :) I lead my first district meeting which was a little sketchy but it went really well! It snowed yesterday!! We found some super cool potential investigators, we gave a blessing and took the sacrament to a member and all of the other regular stuff we do every week. :) hahah

Cool story from this week, so we were out talking to people Saturday morning, and little background there usually aren't very many people out at all on Saturday mornings. But we were out and I felt prompted to talk to this guy and he was super cool! Studying here and from China! I was able to tell him nice to meet you and introduce myself in Chinese and he got really excited! Then not 5 minutes later it happened again! It is so cool to see how the lord put me in that situation to take Chinese class 4 years ago so that I could talk to those people now. :)

Sooooo spiritual thought from this week, this may be little weird, but stick with me. So I have been learning chess for the past couple of weeks and I have gotten to become pretty decent. I really enjoy it! But I have a weakness, I get so focused on one piece and when you do that it is very easy for your opponent to get you off your course. Elder Rasband talked a little about this in our last general conference. But our life is like a giant chess board. God is the player and we are the pieces. He is setting us up to get us in the best position possible to accomplish the work that needs to be done. And we need to trust him that what he is doing is right. Even though we may be focused on another piece at the time he can see all the pieces and knows what we need right at the moment we need it. :) "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy path"

Thanks again for all of your love and support. You guys are seriously the best. :) I hope you have a wonderful week! And you will hear from me again soon! Aaand don't forget to Keep the Faith. :) 

Love,
