Well this week was a different
week that is for sure. Just to get straight to it, we did not have a baptism
this last Saturday nor am I getting transferred this upcoming Wednesday! I
little crazy but no one worry! It is all good because.... We are have the
baptism THIS Saturday and I will be transferred in a week from Wednesday! There
were a few things that cause the baptism to be pushed back but it is all so
good. As far as the transfer goes I was given the opportunity to stay one more
week to see the baptism happen and help the process! What a gift! It was funny
I was on the phone with Sofia (the one being baptized) and I was telling her
how I would try my best to stay in Linköping until she baptized the next week,
then like clock work, President Newell called and he told me (being aware of
the situation) that I would be staying in Linköping for one more week and then
I would be transferred like planned. So I was able to switch the call back to
Sofia and tell her that I would be staying it was so awesome! Of course I was
bummed that the date was pushed back for her baptism but this is just going to
be so much better! I am so excited and happy with the way that it all played
out! SO I just get another week that I can be excited all week for a baptism on
Saturday!
That was the most exciting
thing that happened this whole week. It was pretty crazy to call the entire
branch and cancel a baptism but it was even better to call them all again and
tell them that it would be the next week! I think on Friday night, I made about
3 hours of phone calls in a matter of 3½ hours. It was so crazy.. But it was
manageable! It will all be worth it this weekend!
We had Zone Training this week
and that was really awesome. I think that the reason that we had the training
was because President Newell wanted to do interviews before he leaves at the
end of June. That is so crazy. The interviews went really well, everyone was
schedule to have a 10 minute interview but that didn't happen to nobody's
surprise. So we just kinda talk with each other the entire zone was there, and
we waited. But my interview was really amazing I was really grateful for that.
I feel that this is how I feel every time a leave a meeting with President
Newell, he is so close to the spirit it always amazes me. So that was awesome.
This week we met with a 'soon-to-be religion teacher' so
that was awesome, it was really cool to be able to give so much information
about the church and to see her really see how much good this church is and
does. It was really cool, she did not believe in God but was very respectful of
churches and was really awesome to teach and talk with.
I am really sad to say goodbye
to this area I love it here. Goodbyes are the worst I am just glad that I have
another week to say them. This week is going to be a busy one! We have a
full week set and I we are ready to go hard this last week together!
The Lord will always prepare a
way for His will to be done. It may not always be evident to us but He will
always carry out His will. When we work with Him and do the things that we
wants us to do we have no need to worry when there are bumps in the road (which
there will be) if we know what He wants to happen we just need to hold on of
the ride and trust that He will take us to what is best for us. I know this to
be true. I have seen in the past few days and I have also seen in the past 9
months. What a blessing this gospel is. I hope you all had a great week! I look
forward to tell you all where I will be transferred to and how the baptism went
next week! I love you!
