I doubt I can duplicate this week every in my life

We did it.
15 member present teaches.
20 total teaches.
and both really tired.

If you dont understand missionary numbers and stuff like that, just know that what we did was nearly impossible.
I learned so much this week. We set rediculous goals, basically just following the councel of the General Authority, and got others to try it too, built a team, planned very hard, worked even harder, had to be really creative, and relied heavly on the Lord. There were so many times that we said "if this whole day doesnt fall just perfectly, then there is no way we are going to get 15" Many times we were supprised with how busses just showed up, how members fell into place, and the Lord just provided. It was incredible. I've just about never been so mentally tired. We had so many teaches fall thrugh, and had to think really hard, until the Lord gave us the back up plan. One good example was at church, Jerry Appelqvist didnt come with his family. We needed 2 investigators to stay the whole time to get the teaches we needed, and Erik needed to go home after the 2nd. We couldnt do it! it was impossible! but Jerry came to the members house after church and we got a teach with him and them! It just worked out! And then to get the 15th teach, we were going to go with the Elders Quorum president and his son to a less active, and then go to our 15th teach. But we were short on time, and so our member came up with a brilliant idea of sending 2 of us to David Gustavssons house, and the other 2 (on splits) to Erika, our investigators. The teach with David Gustavsson was the 15th teach, and Erika would have been the 16th, but she wasnt home. We ended up going by our inactive friend, to get the 20th total teach. It was INCREDIBLE. I have learned so much about streching for goals and how the Lord will provide the way. I was thinking about it, and of all people on this earth, we are the ones he is going to help directly the most. When we set goals and pray about getting them, and work as hard as we can, he will do the rest. Of all people on this earth, we need it most. This week is going down in the record books. Our zone beat the all time total member teaches in recent (probably all time) Sweden Stockholm Mission History. With a total of 40. Our district got 35 of them, and our area got 15. Basically it was incredible. Our district is incredible. we are less then 1/4rd of the zone, but we get probably 80% of ALL the key indicators. We just work hard, that is it. Just do it. When we were planning on how we were going to get 15 member teaches Äldste Langston said "this is going to have to be incredible." And it was. We were on busses all day, trains and everything running by and thinking of the work 24-7. I think i dream missionary work now. What else... this week we played a game called, go thrugh every movie we could think of and name the charictors. It is really hard when you have been brainwashed (crystal clean) from the world back home. It was lots of fun though. We got stuck on a couple people. OH this was another funny experience. We have a bus driver friend, who grew up in sweden, but moved to Austrelia for 20 years and is now back. He is so cool. Well we saw him on just about every shift he had this weekend. we really got to know him well. He must think we are absolute work-a-holics. next Pday will be on Wednesday. That is kinda important.
Little update on the people we are working with: Jerry Appelqvist-- problem is he doesnt want to live the word of wisdom, but wants to get babtized Alexander Appelqvist-- we are not sure what he is waiting for but working very hard. The molment he is "ready" he said he will set a date, and I know he will follow thrugh with it. Erik-- Accepts everything, and enjoys church every week. Next time we will ask him for a babtisimal date. David Gustavsson-- We just dont want to make a less active member. He is ready, reads the book of mormon like crazy (he is 11 years old) and is in 3rd nephi. He had a possible ride to church every week. He will get babtized very soon, we are just making sure he is serious about it.
Thats it, ÄA
