This week went by so fast. But I was able to slow it down
long enough to take some pictures. Or at least one. We have made a lot of progress this week! I
am proud of what we were able to do! The work is moving forward. It has been a
hard few week though, not the work that I am used to, but that was Skövde and
this is Linköping. They are different, really good but different. Our apartment
is officially "home." As in I cleaned the entire thing, top to
bottom, side to side. It was easily the worst thing in the entire world but now
I can stop feeling like I am going to get a disease every time I walk into the
bathroom. So I can shower in peace. I will have to take pictures of the
apartment and send them soon.
So we have this member that we are like really close
with. She is so awesome, and as we were leaving her house from having Fika her
friend comes in and totally knows who we are. So we set a time to meet again
the next week. So Elder Hills and I were on splits and we had a really good
lesson. I guess that she has met with missionaries before and she has read the
whole Book of Mormon. She told us that she also knows that it is true! When we
asked her to be baptized she told us that she had no problem with it, but that
she was very busy right now. She doesn't want to get stress out with the goal
hanging over her head. So I want to challenge her to be baptized in a like a
few days. No goals, just faith. I know she is ready. I am excited to see the
miracles happen.
I was talking with this old friend of mine who is
transferred and she said something that was really cool. She gave me some
really good advice. She told me that "It is only when we sink the lowest
can we raise the highest." I love that. I am not saying that I am at a low
point but I just like that because that is why I love this Gospel. It is here
for us ALL the time not only when we are "good" and "high"
but when we mess up and have bad days. It is there for us always. I have really
had to depend on my faith that I know that Christ is there and he is listening
to me. This belief has gotten me through some of my darkest days here.
Another important thing that I have learned and everyone
who learns a new language will know is something you have to suck up your pride
and ask for help. I have applied this to all aspects of my mission. The Lord
can't physically be with us now, but He has sent people to help us just as He
would if He were here with us. We can't do everything by our self. We can't
return back to our Heavenly Father without Christ and we can't make it through
this world without the help of others around us. He loves us so much He gives
us trials. But on the other side He loves us so much He allows us to have
people to help us through them. We are so loved. We are so blessed. The gospel
blesses lives. We are so blessed.
Have a great week. I am praying for you all so much.
Thank you for all the prayers.

the middle
of the forest when we were walking. This is why I love Sweden.
