SO!
Unfortunately we forgot our cable to I'll send some pictures a bit later.
BUT! Some miracles happened this week and I'm excited to get to tell you about them! Before that though on Saturday we went and did service at this farm in the middle of the forest which was super tough, we had to take out these wire fences which was basically like playing tug of war with the dirt. But we won! (pics later) Anyways afterwards we got fed with some classic Swedish pea soup, and guess what they put in it. MUSTARD, this Swede totally reached over and just put mustard in my soup, everyone was doing it I was way confused.
In summary, to be a Swede: 1. Ketchup on Spaghetti and pizza 2. Mustard in soup
Yeah you Philippines kids thought your food was weird.
Miracle #1! We met with this guy named Sid this Thursday at the library to talk about the restoration. The lesson had just started and was going pretty well when this other girl in the library overheard us and introduced herself and wanted in on the lesson. That never happens! We're meeting with her on Wednesday. Pray for Sid and Lalesh! They need to come to activities and church and stuff, they would love it!
To continue, we had been praying really hard for a baptismal date this week because we didn't have any even though we have so many investigators, well....nothing really happened all the way up until Sunday. So we had a fast Sunday in order to get a date, and lo and behold Salm comes to church! Not sure if I've mentioned him but he's an Eritrean guy who lives in Hallsberg right outside of Örebro. He hit it right off with Lavan, our Eritrean recent convert, and we showed him the baptismal font and he said he wanted to be baptized! We are super stoked! It not super solid at this point but we have a tentative date set up for the 28th of May. WAY stoked! Pray for him too!
So things are going pretty well here.
I will send picture later I promise! But as for right now I actually gave 10 minute talk this Sunday on the Priesthood (I had 1 day to prepare), which my companion record most of. So I've you've got the attention span to listen to me speak Swedish for 8 minutes then have at it!
I love you all! I love being here in Sweden! Enjoy that weather back home. Stay in school!
Mom- That video was super adorable. TOO CUTE. I'm glad you explained that picture cause my mind would've blown up.
Weirdweirdweird Matt is home. Time flies so fast! That's why I kinda want to go strait to college when I come home because sitting around makes you go crazy. Definitely not dating girls way younger than me when I come home. LAME.
Also enjoy the sun! It's been super cold and rainy the past few days and it doesn't look like it's getting any better anytime soon. I would never live here just because of the weather, it's totally destroying my skin! Lame! But I love it here right now! OH! And I sent you a package. It has mostly candy in it (sorry) but I hope you like salt lakrits! Be sure to send me some liquid skin if you haven't already sent that package! I also need some cotton socks if you haven't already sent a package. If not I can just buy them here. My socks are mostly nylon and that doesn't work too well in the summer.
Here's some pictures!! I don't care if you send them out to everybody or not.
1. Me and a member in our ward. All of that wire and wood we had to rip out of the ground.
2. Some enchiladas we made (we can cook!)
3. This is our gettup to do service in the middle of the day. This is May. The weather here is crazy! It was like 6 degrees Celsius and raining
Love you mom! Keep listening to the spirit and eating kiwi's with the skin on! Love you mucho!
