I also got myself a new companion! Elder Jackson is his name, and he's actually cousins with family Lewis in MV5! That's way cool. He's super smart and very eager to work, he does a great job of it to. Not to mention, for being out in the field as long as he has his Swedish is superb, definitely a great missionary.
So cool story I think I'll share, this one day we were walking around stan contacting then it became time to take the bus to another place and on the way to the bus I saw a man walking on the other side of the street away from us and I was like "Oh, we are so gonna contact him" so we both speed walked over there and he wasn't interested. But then we turned around and the bus we were supposed to take drove by the stop which we weren't at. So we started walking to the stop to see when the next bus would come and we talk to an African family on the way that ends up being interested, but they actually live in Italy. Then we were waiting at the bus stop when a less active member pulls up and asks if we would like a ride somewhere, so we hop in and start talking to this member and he commits to come to church! And just think, none of that would have happened if we hadn't gone out of our way to follow the promptings of the spirit. Just think, how many opportunities to do good have you missed out on because you ignored a prompting? If that number is greater than or equal to one, Isaiah 1:16.
As for pictures,
1860: a "three generation" photo
1866: three generations plus Crazy Uncle Elder Loertscher
1872: a long bed of flowers
1876: We thought it was a sign, but they weren't interested
1881: Just some good old raking
1887: Fairly often it happens in Sweden that after church they just set out food in the gym and it becomes free-for-all, and I like it when that happens.
1890: Then last but not least, Nefis Bakery. Specializes in beheading-baguettes, Liahona rolls, and tear-stained pillow cakes.
Love ya! Have a great week!
