Basically this week was though! None of our investigators would answer thier phones I swear and Esan's actually died. (ran out of money) so we couldn't get a hold of him. Jamil finally told us that he wants to take things a bit slower and so he probably won't be getting baptized anytime soon. But that's more important that rushing into something you're not ready for, or just being converted to the missionaries who taught you. BUT no one came to church yesterday and we spent a good amount of time on the streets contacting it up. The good news is though that we've had a lot of success with our recent converts, Daniel got his temple recommend and will hopefully be going to do baptisms in Stockholm this Saturday!!! We're so pumped for him! Otherwise it's just been a lot of work. We moved like 3 cubic yards of gravel, wood, and cement at a member's house last Saturday and we were both very sore.
We met a LOT more crazy people this week! I will write another quick list.
Crazy dude #1. Very drunk. Very loud. Tried to tell us we didn't believe in Israel's God or something like that. While he was talking to my comp, crazy guy
#2. comes up behind me and gives me a hug! He's from Somalia and he's always doing that. At least he wasn't drunk he's just weird.
#3. Also from Somalia, COMPLETELY wasted was very nice to us. He also gave each of us a hug (two for each of us) and proceeded to introduce us to his friend (#4.) while he went off and started doing push ups in the street. That was pretty funny.
#4. Was a Swedish dude who was a Satanist. Actually incredibly nice. And not drunk. Go you.
#5. This guy isn't crazy but we met this Swedish guy who was over 7 feet tall. We asked him if he'd play basketball with us sometime and he said no.
#6. Some lady from Nepal of all places whose name is pronounced 'Pture'. Or something like that.
On a more spiritual note, there was a talk not too long ago by an Elder Lawrence in Oct 2015. He asked us to ask the spirit what we can do better, and wanted to testify that this WORKS! I've been asking this same question recently during the partaking of the sacrament and the spirit truly does give personal custom revelation on what we need to improve on next. Not only is it testimony building but it's YOU-building if that makes sense. I love that in this church there is no end to our progression! We all need to continue to apply the Savior's teachings and endure to the end. I testify in the name of Christ that if you ask in faith and humility this next Sacrament meeting you will receive revelation on how you can have a more Christ centered life.
Love you all!

1.Graduation was this week which means all the Swedish graduates get drunk and stand on big floats pulled by huge tractors all around town. Yes, Sweden celebrates their students graduating more than their own National day.
2. A picture the sisters drew of me. I thought it was pretty accurate
