Hey sooooo our p-day in on its normal day this week (Monday). So I get to email
again real quick!
Some really cool things happened between now and
Thursday!
Story time: in my patriarchal blessing it says that I would have the
opportunity to preach the gospel to diverse people. That has been SO
true lately! Not to be racist, but just about the farther from white
you are here the more likely you are to hear the gospel. Last Saturday
we got a hold of and taught Nketia, a Man from Ghana. His English is a
little hard to understand, but he's almost TOO righteous. Ghanaians
are super nice! As soon as we walked in he gave us bottles of water
and offered us some of his dinner, even though there was really only
enough for him (obviously we only drank the water). But he had some
concerns over being baptized, and why his baptism in his other church
again real quick!

These are all the missionaries that live in my apartment complex, except for the older couple they just got back from a mission.

wasn't enough.
We totally answered his question by the spirit, going from the Ministry of Christ
through the apostasy and then explaining the restoration of the
priesthood and giving our testimony of the Book of Mormon and invited
him to be baptized. I couldn't have answered that question better if I
had had time to study. The problem was, he doesn't want to be baptized
unless his wife and family are also, and they're still in Ghana. Dang
it Nketia! Pray for him and for Russell our other investigator who is
But the REAL miracle happened on the way home. Even though it was late
and we were exhausted, (we've been biking a stupidly ridiculous amount
lately, I can't even describe how sore my thighs are) I saw a man

But the REAL miracle happened on the way home. Even though it was late
and we were exhausted, (we've been biking a stupidly ridiculous amount
lately, I can't even describe how sore my thighs are) I saw a man
waiting for the bus on the curb and felt impressed to talk to him,
even though everyone we had talked to on the street that day didn't
want to listen to us and were super rude. He was AMAZING. His name was
Eduardo and he was from Peru (and again, his English was a little hard
to understand) but he had met with sister missionaries before and
actually went to church once and loved it! Unfortunately then he moved
and fell out of contact with the missionaries, but we found him again!
Totally an awesome miracle that we found him! I really think he's
someone who will go all the way, he kept talking about how meeting
with the missionaries made him so happy. Well, that's about all I got
for you all for now! I hear that we'll be leaving Sweden about the 8th
of December.

I'm pretty sure I mentioned what I did for Halloween, we got together
as a zone and watched the Cokeville miracle. Wasn't particularly
exciting but no I didn't get too many pictures. Here's a picture
though of some of the other elders and an investigator they have who's
super good at basketball.
