It's been a busy week, and I can't believe it's Monday again. I checked the weather recently and it's actually been warmer here in Gothenberg the last few days compared to Provo. Who would've thought I'd come to Sweden to get warmer weather! It's been a good week though. We've seen a lot of miracles and good progress here.
This week I went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders in Utby. It was really good! We actually saw some good success including a classic missionary story. We were out knocking on doors and were just about to head back. We hadn't found any new people who wanted to learn more, and only had time for one more door. We said a prayer and asked that we could find one person who would be interested. After the prayer we went to a door a little ways down, knocked, talked to the woman who lived there for a while, and were invited to come back and share our message another day. It was one of those times that shows that prayer really does work! Heavenly Father does hear our prayers.
This week we had some success with those we were teaching. One experience specific sticks out to me. It was with a Swedish man who when he was first met didn't believe in God. Now, just around a month and a half later, in our lesson he told us he believed both in God and Jesus Christ. It was a sweet experience to see how he had changed and he had come closer to his Father and his Saviour.
On another interesting note, we have someone we're teaching who is a concert pianist, and it turned out that he wrote a full length musical way back in 1996. He's tried to have it shown in the United States but the producers there didn't want to take a risk on it. So starting next year it will actually be playing in Poland, which is pretty cool! Haha, so if you're in Poland next year feel free to check out his musical called 'High Voltage'!
Anyways, the week has been a good one! There are some good things coming up this week as well that I'm really looking forward to! I'm grateful to be here serving the Lord.
