Week 76

HEJ HEJ HEJ!! 

What a week of ups and downs :) 

Sickness hit us like a truck this week, but the work doesn't stop! We biked and taught all that we could and got home every night completely wiped. It worked out okay until we got home Saturday night at 9:30 and realized we couldn't go to bed because we had to speak the next day in church 

BUT 

As always, among the trials are the miracles!! 

On Tuesday this week we went to a small town, Anderslöv to meet some people we got in contact with a few weeks ago. 

It unfortunately did not go well (rip in the chat). 

And after that we met this lady who let us pet her dog but the dog did NOT want to be pet and it freaked out and got out of its coat and leash and the whole situation was as uncomfortable as you can imagine haha. 

And then there we were at the train station. Not a soul in sight. So we played some Carrie Underwood (s/o to Sys Bryson) and tried to let everything go that had just happened haha. 

And then a guy got to the platform. So we went up and said what every guy likes to hear "we like your pink pants." 

AND HE WAS SO HAPPY!! 

And just like that we told this normal 50-something year old swedish man about the gospel and he says 

"God is leading you." 

And we read from the Book of Mormon - he LOVED it and we'll see him again this week! 

God works in mysterious ways. And maybe being sick is one of them. I've never been very good at balance (in all possible ways) and I've had some time to reflect about the following scripture:// 

"Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed."

There's a lot to be done my dear friends. Let's make sure we're ready to do it with JOY (S/O to Becca linfords weekly from over a year ago haha). 

With the lord's help we can find balance. We don't have to juggle everything alone
