Hey guys!
So, I will just write some of the highlights of the past few weeks, as I
usually do. I did get sick again! My throat started to swell up again and get
really uncomfortable to swallow. It didnt hurt yet though. So I called Tina the
nurse in our ward and asked her what to do. She said to go to the clinic again
before it got worse. So I did. They took another swab and they sent it in to
test it for bactieria in groups like B, D, G and such. I dont know exactly what
he said. Its not too bad right now, though. I also woke up with a cold a few
mornings ago. I just cant seem to stay healthy! lol.
Yesterday before church Tony (one of our crazy investigators) called us and
said "If you want me to come to church this week, you have to invite me."
HAHAHA. Hes so funny. He always calls us and makes the appointments yet he has a
difficult time actually listening to us. I think he just likes to be around us.
So of course we invited him. And he did come to all 3 hours of church. And he
comes to Innabany (floor hockey) every friday with us and the ward. He also
wants us to go over to his house everyday and read some of the Book of Mormon
with him. So we do that. He's really interesting. He built a helicopter with a
camera on it and the camera transmits to his iphone. Its cool but it kinda
freaks me out. Haha.
We also got a bike stolen. Ugh. So now we are back to using the really
terrible bike again. So, its not ideal but its still better than walking
everywhere.
We met with Jens a few times this week. One day he came in to our lesson
and flat out said "I am either going to be blown away by your message today or I
am going to completly reject that this church is for me." He asked so many hard
questions too! He did a lot of research before our lesson too. He asked about
stuff that goes on in the temple (quite detailed too, actually) and just all
sorts of stuff. The way we answered it was by talking about he Plan of
Salvation. And he just loved it. He was like "this just makes total sense. its
not heaven and hell like everyone talkes about. and also the fact that you guys
arnt forcing this on me to believe it. i really like what you guys did today
and.. I am blown away." hahaha. It makes me feel good that we are able to just
listen to the spirit and just teach what needs to be done. He did tell us he
will only get baptized when he has read the Book of Mormon, the Bible, and the
quron (however thats spelled) completely through all the way. So we have to
really really push for the 28th.
We did get another investigator this week though. We met this guy Axel with
Jens one time. We didnt do anything about it though. We ran into him the other
day and talked to him for a while and he wants to meet with us. So, thats always
good. Its good to have a "backup" baptism for the 28th incase our original one
doesnt go through ;)
Neither Lena or Ingvor were in church yesterday. But they both said they
would be coming next week. And so far they have kept their promises. Lena set
the date to quit her coffee drinking on September 19th. That is this week so we
have to go visit her and see how she is doing with that. I am not too worried
about it though. I think she can do it. We did have a new inactive in church
though. Her name is Poula. We went to her earlier this week and gave her a
blessing. So it was cool to see her there.
That really it, honestly. We have been really busy just being out and
about. But not many events are happening. Enjoy your week and I miss you
all!
