How is it already July!!!

Ok, this month seemed to just fly on by! It's already July! Speaking of July, happy 4th of July to all my American friends!! Go America! This week has been a good one, and we actually spent a lot of the day orienteering (someone whose door we knocked on told us all about it and gave us a compass and map) so we don't really have much time. It was fun and everything, but I'm kind of crunched on time now, so I am going to just jump into the week!

This week has been a good one for teaching! For example, on Tuesday we were able to teach two lessons to two different Swedish families as well as arranged to have dinner with a less active family in the ward. It was super good! Things have been working out really well this week, even us setting up a baptismal date with the girlfriend of a recent convert in the ward. We did learn though that she currently lives in another area, so we sent her to the missionaries there to be taught. It was a really good week overall, and lots of progress has been made.

We had a cool little miracle that took place starting last Monday. We were leaving the library where we had emailed for a time, and someone yelled out (in English), ''Are you guys Mormons''? We proceeded to talk to him for a few minutes in Swedish (I still don't know why he first talked to us in English) and he was pretty interested. So we invited him to come see the church sometime, and asked when it would work. He told us that it would work to do it right then, so we just hopped on a bus with him, and showed him the church and taught a lesson. It was awesome! We then met him again on Thursday and taught him again. It was a really cool little miracle that just came into our path, and led into a really good teaching experience.

We had a recent convert invite us over for dinner this last week, and he fed us a full feast pretty much! He moved here from the middle east, and gave us a full meal. It was actually really good, although I have no idea what it is called. The member just kept giving us more food though! Evertime we said we had enough or pretty much ate anything of it, he would just pile more food onto our plates! It was really good though, and an interesting experience!

Well that is a lot of what happened this week. It has been a good one and we have definitely seen miracles happening here. I know that they happen in everyone's lives if we take the chance to acknowledge that they have happened and see the hand of the Lord in our lives. Have a wonderful week everyone!
