Hej Hej!
Where to begin. I have no idea. But this past week was amazing.
For one thing, we had a week long English fast--which was certainly a challenge. But me and Syster Taylor only almost killed each other like three times, so I'd call that a win💪
And now, for a flurry of miracles:
- We received a referral for a guy who recently moved here from Germany, and we were supposed to meet him on Monday night. BUT- on Monday night, he wasn't responding to us, and we didn't really know where he lived. We knew what building, but not which room. So we traveled to the apartment building, and decided to call a random room to let us into the building. They did! But then what? We were in his building, but we had no idea where to go. Syster Taylor suggested that we pray, so we did--boldly asking God to direct us to the apartment we needed to find. Immediately after, I had a strong impression that we needed to go up the stairs to another level. But once we did, I had no idea where to go next. Syster Taylor, on the other hand, walked right over to the very last door on the floor, and knocked.
And it was him. The very first door we knocked. It was a testament of the power of the Spirit, and that God is truly guiding us in this work.
- I don't know if anybody remembers the story I told about the boy on the bus a couple weeks ago, but we met with him this past week! He told us that ever since I spoke with him that day, he's been seeing signs and miracles in his life, and he's even begun praying!
- We randomly ran into some inactive members we've been struggling to get in contact with, because their train got stalled, and they had to take our train instead. They then invited us to come over sometime soon!
- On Saturday, all of our lessons fell through, so we decided on a whim to deliver cookies to a bunch of inactive members who we've never met. We ended up having really great contact with almost all of them! One of them hadn't had contact with the church in 11 years, and we ended up staying and talking with him for over an hour about the Holy Ghost and Jesus Christ. It was an amazing experience.
-*Mason is going to be baptized this upcoming Saturday! Ahh!!
I am so grateful to be here in Sweden giving this time to the Lord and His work. I know that our God is a God of miracles, because I can see it every day. In every little joy, and every little "coincidence."
In Mormon 9:15, it says:
"And now, O all ye that have imagined up unto yourselves a god who can do no miracles, I would ask of you, have all these things passed, of which I have spoken? Has the end come yet? Behold I say unto you, Nay; and God has not ceased to be a God of miracles."
Have a good week!!
