Hej!: 7/13/15

Hej!

     This week was pretty good overall. Last Monday we had a YSA FHE activity at a member family´s house playing board games. The family called us in the morning and asked us to invite one of our investigators who had come to church. He lives pretty far away but we invited him anyways. And he came! He drove a car there (we
didn´t even know he had a car) and seemed to have a great time.

     This week we decided to shake things up and try making a new meal. So one day for lunch we made bacon cheeseburgers. They turned out pretty good I would say. We got a lot of sauces to try on them so they tasted pretty good. 

     One day we were tracting, and the second house we knocked on was a couple that had met with missionaries for quite a while about 12 or so years ago. They met with the missionaries a lot but lost contact when they moved or something like that. The husband really, really likes to talk, so we were standing in front of their house for almost two hours, haha. We invited them to church but they didn´t come so we´ll probably swing by them soon. 

     Something interesting this week was that there was some sort of Lego convention in town, so we saw people with Lego shopping bags all over the place. I was pretty disappointed that we couldn´t go there, haha. But it´s okay.

     We went out to eat dinner with a member family and teach an investigator at a town that is a little ways west of Örebro called Karlskoga. It is apparently the town where Nobel (the Nobel prize guy) was born, so that is super cool. 

     Besides that there wasn´t too much exciting that happened this week. This week I was reading in 3 Nephi about how all the people had to join together to defend themselves against the Gadianton robbers. It says that after they had peace again there was not a single person who did not believe the words of the prophets. But only six years later the government was overthrown and the people were all wicked. It is important for us to endure to the end because it is so easy to get caught up in the things of the world.

I hope everyone has a great week!
