Tyävrr.....

Mina nära och kära!! 

Hello again! This week when reading in the white handbook we read about being together all the time. I think I made jokes about it all day long ha ha. Really though we have stepped it up on really making sure we are always in sight and hearing distance. The concert we had last night was insane and so was church.. it was just easier to have S. Jakobs as my companion. She is a wonderful missionary. This week in preach my gospel I read about how to be a better teacher and while I was reading about adopting to our investigators I realized its one of my favorite parts of missionary work. Its the unknown factor. Everyday is full of miracles!..and it's what I call the 'what if' because anything could happen when you walk out that door. So when we are in teaches and try adapt to the investigators that's when you are figuring out that unknown factor and that is what I find super exciting! We had an awesome teach with Maria, that had a baptismal date last Saturday, and 3 members this week. We weren't sure we would invite Linda to come along because that meant a lot of people but it seemed to be right and it ended up being 3 members on the teach. It was good because Maria was not ready for Saturday and she was able to express it to 2 Spanish speakers. Linda can't speak Spanish but she really connected with her and she had shared a scripture that ended up hitting one of the ones translating. We are trying to help him get on a mission and he felt that that scripture was for him. 3 Nephi 13:31-34 he realized he has to stop worrying about this and that but just focus on the kingdom of God (or a mission is his case) right now and it will work out. My faith was definitely strengthened after this teach. I loved the scripture and Linda was on that teach for Ruben.

Bob does have a baptismal date this Saturday and we are really hoping, and so is he, that God will help him to find an answer. He just has such strong ties to his church back in Africa, the assembly of God. We feel he does have an answer though. Its just a matter of his courage.

The Alingsås sisters stayed over this week so that they could hold a concert here and in another ward. My comp and S.Talbot are amazing on the piano and so they have put together a concert that teaches the first 3 lessons and they play tons of music and its all done in 1 hour. Well the first one went pretty well.. not too many came but yesterday here in our ward was insane. Tons of people came we figured it was around 130 people and tons of non-memebers. We are going to Göteborg Sept16th to hold another one of these concerts in Västra Frölunda. Hope tons come!!!

Thanks for all you do!
