Monday we were eating dinner when a potential investigator we had wanted to meet but had never confirmed texted us and asked if we were meeting, after a little confusion we established that we were meeting and rushed out the door to get to the church to meet with him. The lesson went pretty well so that was good after our little adventure of cutting dinner short to rush out there but it all worked out in the end.
Tuesday we did a little bit finding. We were out tracting in Brandbergen when we got a call from President Youngberg. We stop and find a slightly secluded spot and he tells us that we're both training! We were both super excited! The rest of the day we continued knocking doors other than a brief break for a member meal.
Wednesday we had district meeting a day early so that the assistants could some and join us so that was fun. We all had lunch together at the church and then Elder Wilson and I went on splits back in Vendelsö. We met with a recent convert so that was fun. We then went tracting and accidentally tracted into one of our member families! It was super funny, we laughed and they invited us in and we got to practice for our member meal at another family's house right afterward.
Thursday we switched back and we had a great lesson with one of our investigators at a member's house and it was fun because we were reading from the Book of Mormon in 3 languages, English, Swedish, Amharic.(Mom's Note: Amharic is the national language of Ethiopia. Thank you Google!)
Friday we went to Train the Trainers in Täby! It was a big party. there were 19 trainers there, 7 of us were from my group and 3 more have been my companions at some point so that was pretty cool. We had some awesome training before heading home. We had a great member meal and knocked some more doors.
Saturday we did more finding, We usually trade off every time someone answers a door for who is the one to start talking and I must have had a spree of at least 20 doors in a row that didn't answer so that was interesting.
Sunday morning, we were halfway through planning for our day when we get a call from President... 2 Elders and a Sister had to wait for their visas and won't be coming in on time and Elder Anthon and I will be the trainers waiting for those missionaries. President said we find out Monday night if they even make it at all this transfer or if we get to stay together for another 6 weeks. So we shall see what happens next week! We had church after planning and Sacrament meeting was about Personal revelation. One of the speakers mentioned something interesting which was that we have to be humble enough to receive revelation. We need to be humble enough to follow the Lord's council and guidance and do things His way instead of ours. I really like that thought. We had a great day in church and we had a fun member meal with a Nigerian family as well.
I hope you all have a wonderful week and we'll see what happens next week!
