Family and Friends!

This week was pretty awesome. We had Transfers but Elder Harrell and myself are staying together in Västra Frölunda so nothing new there, but the sisters in our ward doubled out (one to Malmö the other to Umeå, almost the farthest apart you can get) and the doubling in sisters are training, so that's awesome. Sister Dargan has been here for almost a year and her companion, Sister Manning, is fresh from the MTC. So that's a party, they are both pretty awesome. Sister Dargan went to a semester at MIT before the mission, and Sister Manning is from Kansas City and went to BYU before the mission. She's also only 10 days older than me so that's super strange. The day the new sister missionaries are your age is a strange day.

What else, lets see, ya, not a whole lot new otherwise. We met that one lady (Ana, the one that thought the church apostated after the apostles died) again and that was super good, the biggest problem is she reads the bible in Yugoslavian and Swedish, and I don't know about her Yugoslavian version but the Swedish bible she uses is the New World Translation (We checked though, she's not a JW) so we're trying to fix that.

That's actually a cool story. Because of transfers we were with one of the ZLs while he waited for his new comp so that day we were running both Utby and Västra Frölunda so we were driving between both areas a lot to catch appointments, but as we were driving I was like "Hey, we have Hitta.se and a name, that means we also have Anas adress so we should swing by her" so we did. Her apartment was portcoded but as soon as we got there a motercycle pulled up and a guy opened up for us, so we went in, found her door, knocked and she answered in a robe that can be described by Joseph Smith: "[her] hands were naked, and [her] arms also, a little above the wrist; so, also, were [her] feet naked, as were [her] legs, a little above the ankles. [her] head and neck were also bare. I could discover that [she] had no other clothing on but this robe, as it was open, so that I could see into [her] bosom." Anyways, she immediately recognized us, did up some buttons so her robe wasn't so open around the bosom, talk with us a bit, explained she was just going down for a nap, said she'd meet us outside so we left and she came down a minute later with normal cloths on, we sat outside in the rain, and taught her. An interesting experience, but it was good we came when we did because otherwise she would have been having her nap or been out of the house.

Otherwise, I can't really think of anything that happened this week, so hejdå!
