This was a turn around week for us here in Västra Frölunda.
There was a lot of information for interested people from the past few months
to several years lying around in our phones and we finally this week finished cleaning
through all of them. The cool thing is that after slimming down the area and
figuring out who was really interested, it's like God gave us some more people
to focus on. We were able to meet a few new people this week which is always
refreshing -- they can be far and few between at times.
I went on splits to Kungsbacka (Kings Hill in English) and
was with my boy Elder Fronk from California. We had a big open day so we got
some good time to be out knocking doors in the rain and snow slush. We set the
goal of giving out 2 copies of the Book of Mormon in our stund, and were able
to give out the first to this 19 yo guy who was a Jehovah Witness. A few hours went buy
without luck and we headed back to the bus stop. We noticed we had 10 mins left
till the bus came, so we bonzai'd back into a neighborhood to hit our goal and
the second door we knocked was a cool middle-aged swedish man that asked us for
the book after we explained what it was and how it has helped us in our
lives.
This whole week it's felt like God has put us in the right
place at the right time so help us meet specific people. And there were days
where we didn't plan to be somewhere, but something happened that screwed up
the schedule and made it so we were there for example like us getting home and realizing
Elder Moss left his phone on the spårvagn (street car). We went back to get it,
got in touch with the spårvagn driver and he met us and gave us the phone. In
the process we met a less active member that was named something that I had
heard in a dream 2 weeks back and wrote down on our whiteboard, as well as a
girl that was taught last year but just lost contact with the missionaries.
There's a bunch more stories, but it's been very clear to us that God's plan
takes precedence, and some days we get it right in planning and others we don't
so God works his magic and uses our clumsiness to his advantage.
Week 89
Tjena tjena mina vänner!
To be honest, there isn't a whole lot to report on this week
because my comp and I have been sick with a cold and then a fever. We did have
some cool experiences though with setting some specific goals and then reaching
them while we were out.
We got together with some of the boys in the ward on
Saturday morning and played some innebandy which was pretty fun. They're all
younger than like 14 but all stinkin good at it. Swedes are pretty much all
naturally good at floor ball, but we had a good time playing around with them.
Peppered in the week were some good lessons with members
along for help which made the lessons great👌🏼
Life is treating me well here. Have a good one! I'll have
something more exciting next week :)
