Week 35

Tjena!

Time for me to get on my soapbox

WE ARE PERFECTLY POSITIONED!!

This is something I struggled realizing this week! How do I know where to go? What to say? If I'm doing enough? 

We did splits up in Borlänge this week, and on our way back we met this sweet man who could speak a tiny bit of Swedish, and was completely lost. We helped him get safely to Stockholm with all of the crazy train issues

We sprinted to make a train today, and met a man on it who was interested. Ran into him AGAIN and had a wonderful conversation, left with his contact info that time 

Was on a train and started talking to this girl, from ukraine, 18, and has lived here for 1 month. Gave her a Keychain that says "light up the world with love" and she gave us the warmest smile and waved goodbye as we got off 

Ate dinner with a less-active member (who made us some BOMB Thai food), and our conversation changed from talk about papaya prices to how she feels far from God in 20 seconds 

Walked back up some stairs to give this tough-looking man a photo of Jesus and he unbuttoned the top 2 buttons of his shirt and showed us his cross with the biggest smile on his face 

I learned this week that there's nothing I can do to ruin his plan. Just do my best, he will take care of the times I fall short and make those experiences beautiful.
