Hello! In the spirit of thanksgiving this week I just want to say that I'm thankful for you and all that each and everyone of you has done for me. Your prayers and love are felt.
This week Bai and Terry taught us this super fun game named Mahjong that has a lot of rules and chinese symbols but once we got the hang of it it was a blast. It's been great meeting with them and strengthening their knowledge of the gospel, especially the Book of Mormon. There is nothing greater than a curious mind that is eager for the light and knowledge that come from the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We had a killer lesson with an investigator Eric and his buddy Peter. They don't belong to a church but instead have their own Bible study group. Teaching them was awesome cause they're way knowledgeable, quoting Bible verses right and left. They loved our lesson of the gospel of Jesus Christ with it all drawn out. And Sissa, a member who's going on a mission to Nebraska Winter Quarters was with, so it was even better!
We met a pretty positive potential investigator tracting on wednesday, her named is Emma and she listened to our message on her doorstep wholeheartedly. She accepted a Book of Mormon and we'll follow up on her this week. We also went by Tommy, remember who loves motorcycles, from last week. He ended up inviting us in to show us some pics of motorcycles and some other stuff in his house. He even let us share a message at the end. Such a good guy. Also contacted a guy on wednesday that said he's "discovered through psychedelic drugs that God doesn't exist". Whatever floats your boat I guess. We also met a less active at night who we were very open and honest with and had a great lesson with him, he ended up coming to church on sunday!
We had dinner with some great members, Lucy and Hermy, from the Phillipines. The phrases I remember are "eat, eat!", "don't shy" and "feel home" over and over. I was stuffed to the rafters after that one.
We've been meeting quite a bit with our investigator Dan cause the last roadblock for him is smoking, he smokes about 20 cigarettes a day and that's from working it down from 30. He's working on cutting it down more over the next two weeks then stopping completely so he needs your prayers right now, gärna!
Great dinner with the Rasmussens this week and had our investigator Lars there as well. He's the man, short guy with a big skånish accent. And talkative. We have thanksgiving planned with two American families on thursday so I'm pretty excited, it won't be home but it'll be the next bbe
Saturday we got the first snow of the winter! It's here! We had some great snowball fights with the other missionaries, members, and some random kids on the street. Gotta seize the opportunity right?
With much love and gratitude in my heart, happy thanksgiving.
