This week was good! Monday was super busy with trying to get ready for transfers, but was good. On Tuesday we got to plant tons of flowers in front of the temple, so that was a lot of fun but a lot of work. We planted thousands of flowers. The flowers were all white, orange, yellow, and red. Afterwards we got pizza for lunch so all the work was worth it, haha.
We left the apartment at about 8 on Wednesday morning, gave the phone and keys to the sisters, and went to the train station. Overall transferring from Västerhaninge to Karlskrona took about 6 hours. First, I went to Stockholm central station, then took a 3-hour train, and two 45-minute trains, with a little waiting time in between each one. Luckily all of the train transfers went well.
I really like Karlskrona so far. It is a cool city. It isn't huge compared to other cities, but I think it's still pretty big, so it has all the plus sides of a city too.
Besides transfers nothing too crazy has happened this week. We have been having a lot of success with tracting. We've found people who are interested in about every stairwell in the apartment buildings we've been tracting, and that's always good.
Today I was reading in the Book of Mormon in Jarom, Omni, and Words of Mormon. I think it is interesting how several of the prophets who write here say that they don't have anything more to say than what was already written. Jarom said: "For what could I write more than my fathers have written? For have not they revealed the plan of salvation? I say unto you, Yea; and this sufficeth me." This helped me realize that maybe I haven't been paying enough attention to the first few books of the Book of Mormon. Out of the roughly two hundred years when it was written, these books are considered by the prophets to be the most important spiritual teachings. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and that its teachings really do "reveal" the Plan of Salvation and many other precious truths to us.
I hope everyone has a great week!
