So this week wasn't nearly as bad. We celebrated Midsommar this week! We got to go to a big ward party which everyone showed up to and we got to celebrate with them. Basically midsommar involves the celebrating of actually good weather for once in Sweden. It usually includes
-a bunch of holding hands and dancing around to old Swedish songs only the old people know
-playing some ridiculous Swedish games like Kubb or no-rules soccer.
-a bunch of random foods (with smelly fish of course)
-a surprise rain attack when we're trying to celebrate the good weather
-it being just as light outside at 9 pm as it was at 3pm
-getting really really drunk and wandering around town (fortunately that wasn't included in the ward party) that's why we weren't allowed to proselyte that day.
So that was GREAT we loved the whole thing and had a great time.
This week has been good so far, we've been meeting a lot with this guy named Ali who is actually really positive and always wants to have us over. Please pray for him! Also I have super good news about Esan! We actually met with him so he could give us the Book of Mormon back, when he met with us he explained that it wasn't him who had sent those texts. He's been having a really hard time with where he's living right now, we're not sure if it's the people running it or his roommates or what but they don't want him leaving the apartment and and they told him he can't come to church anymore and he has to give the books back. He's trying to move out right now, but in the process he won't be able to talk to us to much. We were bummed about his situation but SO happy he is still positive! He didn't want to give the book back at all, he still loves the Book of Mormon and even wrote down 6 pages of it (in Persian) to read while he's moving. We're looking forward to seeing him being baptized, but it looks like it'll take a bit more time than we expected.
So that's been our week. I love all of you as always! I have a TESTIMONY that the Lord answers our prayers. He really really does and I need all the prayers I can get. Ha det så bra!
So I guess I can fit more stuff onto emails now! Here's a video of us celebrating midsommar (we just got done dancing around there) and there's a picture of our district. I'm ruining it. Also that game that little kid is playing is called Kubb and it's very Swedish. I'm actually pretty decent at it. Pretty fun. You just have to try and knock down all your opponents blocks with these throwing sticks but there's a lot of strategy in it actually.
