Week 52 - One Year Down...that's weird

Monday was an eventful day... I lost my wallet and despite our efforts did not succeed in finding it. So that's been fun. We did go to Gubbängen and played some basketball up there so that was fun.

Tuesday was awesome. We got to help plant the Autumn flowers at the temple! Most of the missionaries from around Stockholm were there. It was so much fun and the temple looks wonderful afterwards. I forgot to take pictures but I know others took some so those might show up in next week's email.

Wednesday was wet... It rained all day. We did a lot of finding work, knocking on people's doors and such.

Thursday we had district meeting and President Youngberg dropped in. He hadn't gotten a few people for interviews including Elder Langford and I so we took care of those.  We also had our correlation meeting with our ward mission leader talking about how the work was going and then ward council afterwards.

Friday we did some weekly planning and had some members take us out to lunch. They had some delicious hamburgers...seriously, so good.  We also swung by someone we have been in contact with and she is still super positive, we set up an appointment for the next day and everything.  We also did some door knocking and we ran into this guy who was willing to listen for a bit, took a copy of the Book of Mormon, and was okay with us coming back later at some point so that was awesome!

Saturday we helped out a little bit with a move. Our appointment ended up getting moved to sunday but we still had a good day. We did some more finding and had dinner with a member family that was a lot of fun. 

Sunday we had a great day in church and we got to meet with the lady we talked to on Friday. She wants to be baptized! It's so cool. The Spirit was there and she really is open to the church so that was awesome to see! We also had dinner with an awesome african family in the ward so that was pretty cool too.

It's been kind of weird because I have been out on my mission for about a year at this point... I'm halfway done. So weird...  Have a wonderful week everyone!
