"Do you force all your investigators like that??"

Hejsan!!
 
        Well here we are again.. I don't even understand how time moves so fast. Its been wonderful here. The work is going great! We had a serious miracle happen this week. We stopped just to play on a little play ground on our way home and right then a 15 year old girl named Love came up to us. She is a members daughter but she herself is not a member and we sat and talked to us for a while. She just started to open up to us telling us about her hard life. We pull out the scriptures and (my comp) S.J. wanted to share something and was like hmmm I hope I can find it. She opens The Book of Mormon and opens right to 3 Nephi 12:16 "let your light so shine." Exactly where she wanted to read! This girl has been through a lot and yet her face was just beaming and her smile was so sincere. She told us she actually used to worship satan but now she doesn't. We got her number and she said she would love to meet us this week. I can't wait!! My focus in PMG has been in chap 2 and I just finished. Its all about studying and applying what you learn to yourself. It was great!!! It is so important to actually take in what you learn and apply it because how do we teach it and preach it if we don't live it?? Haha I should go back and count how many times it said .. apply this to you.. a lot!
 
        Our baptismal dates didn't make it to church which is really sad. One fell asleep, Princella, and the other, John, we will be seeing tomorrow. We have no idea why John missed yet. Princella is doing really well we actually just asked her if we can do a zero lesson on her sambo, boyfriend, and see how that goes. She felt totally comfortable with that. We can't wait. He is swedish named Frans and has been reading in the Book of Mormon. He says his favorite part of the chuch is the people. He is so so sweet. He was in church last Sunday though and the speaker said something about how she believes in Joseph Smith and has a testimony of him no matter what he has done. Frans is really stuck on that and wants to know read a book about Joseph Smith that was writen by a non-member. We are hoping he won't or if not will be super careful.. :( We'll see what happens there.
 
       I love everyday I wake up! S.J. is amazing! We had our meeting with our ward mission leader and he said he became happy just seeing us so happy. Its honestly so easy to be happy with her though. He said he remembers a companion he had like that and they would hug every morning. Haha were not quite that far but I do love her and we hope to be friends a long time. 
 
       I hope you like the picture I sent. We had a member on the teach and she took it. We are setting up a calender for him to get baptized. Well this member was like do you always force your investigators haha I guess she felt it was forced but he is ready really! 
 

       I love the ward here. It feels I've been here a while actually. We had a member totally SAVE us this week. My bike totally fell apart and there is standing a member with home made rolls for us and she had no idea why she went out for flour but she literally saved us when we were already desperate and late for dinner with a broken bike. I love the Holy Ghost and the fact that he guides all of us!!
