Last Monday we went out proselyting for while, we went tracting and we tried to swing by this one lady that said to try again later. We knocked on the door and a man answered and we asked if he was familiar with our church. He said he was and then followed it up by telling one of the kids "Hämta morfar" or "Go get Grandpa". We continue talking and then next thing we know our ward mission leader comes up! That was a surprise. It was his granddaughter's birthday party that we accidentally tracted into. It was quite the surprise but we all laughed about it.
Tuesday we mostly just did more knocking on doors and talking to people on the street.
Wednesday we did our weekly planning early because the rest of the week was going to be very busy.
Thursday we had District meeting which was fun as always. We talked about better planning and goal setting which was awesome. We also had a couple meetings that night with the ward.
Friday we had our 'train the trainers' meeting (again). We traveled into Stockholm and had our training which went really well. We were the last ones home though pretty much since we didn't have any appointments and we had bus cards so we waited while everyone else who had to catch trains or even planes to get back to their areas were shuttled to the station so we didn't get home until dinner time.
Saturday was interesting. We got rained on (again... it's been raining all week) but I didn't bring a jacket with a hood or my umbrella because I guessed that it wouldn't rain... I was wrong. We also got a call from President Youngberg. I am going to be a district leader! Our current district is way too big so we are splitting it so I will now be the District leader for the Vendelsö-Hägersten district. It's going to be pretty exciting! We also went to the musical again in Stockholm to hand out books and that was pretty fun, we didn't have the late night shift this time so that was nice.
Sunday we had a really great fast and testimony meeting. I love Testimony meeting because everyone who wants to share their testimony of what they know to be true can share their thoughts. It was a great meeting, especially with everyone having General Conference fresh on their mind. After church we had dinner at a member's home before then taking one of the members with us to a lesson at the church really fast. We missed the bus that we needed to take to get to the musical again in Stockholm so we had the member drive us to the train station so we could catch a train instead and it all worked out great, we even got to the musical a bit early! We gave out all 220 Book of Mormons that were brought and there were still a few people that wanted one. It was super cool.
This week looks like it will be exciting, I'll let you know all about my new companion next week.
The pictures are of a very wet Elder Anthon and I as well as the fact that Julmust is already back!? (Julmust is a Christmas soft drink here in Sweden... the date today is October 9... what is going on)
