Alright this week was really good overall. we kinda had some stupid stuff, like no one was in school and no one wanted to talk to us, so that wasnt very fun. yeah most of our investigators didnt want to meet with us but we are doing good. This was parts of my letter to President Anderson "hello President. This week was a tough one. no one wanted to meet with us because it was spring break thing. That wasnt very good. Sunday was a very sucessful day. We went home with the Appelqvists and ate dinner with them and just chatted about the gospel -- kept it light. I think we almost overdosed them a while ago. we are just taking it slow and showing them the path. But the best part was that Jolanka wanted to go to a teach with us in Hässelholm. It is far away but it helped us SO much. We are teaching a girl named Erica and she is in her mid 20's we are guessing, and there are somethings that only Jolanka could help her with. It worked out perfect. The Lord knows what he is doing and sets up everything. Erica is one of the best investigators i've ever heard of. She is almost scared to go to church because if she finds out it is true then she would feel obligated to come every week. we told her that it is not just coming that is the commitment part, but baptism is when you actually commit. Jolanka really helped us with that teach. And they both want to meet again this friday, and Erica said she would come to church next week. Now she has a friend and everything. She also liked the idea of Relief society. I'm very excited for her to keep progressing. She accepts everything we say, and she said that if she finds out the Book of Mormon is true she will be baptised. She has said many times that everything just feels right. It just had such a great spirit there yesterday. David Gustafsson is going to get baptised this saturday! It will definately go thrugh too. He is serious and so is his family and the branch. It is going to be very good. It will really help their whole family. We have tried to get them to read the BoM as a family every time we go by, and have pulled out every trick we possibly could to get them to follow thrugh with their commitment. We we're going to just swing by one night for 15 minutes or so, but ended up staying for about 45, we read with them 3 nephi 11, and had each person just read a verse and go around in a circle. Just like i did in my family back home. I hope they actually did the same thing the next day, we havnt checked with them. The trip to the temple was fantastic. It really felt good. It was so worth it. We can get there just as easily as any other area that normally goes there. It felt really good. I like that temple alot. And denmark was cool. I really like the Kristus statue and the 12 apostles. that felt so good there too. The city was pretty dirty though. They definately had more innapropriate advertisments and things like that. Very sad to see the world falling apart spiritually around us. 
This week will be a very good week. We are very busy and back on track. We need to get back to 15 total teaches and focus on making more member teaches. With Alexander Appelqvist i think we are going to take him to lunch again and explain to him that if you dont keep showing your faith by actions that the spirit leaves and you dont learn as much. Hopefully it works out good.
"Oh yeah, we visited the temple in denmark this week!!! it was so great!!! and we saw the Kristus statue (alot of members have it in their house, and its the one in the visitors center at temple square) Well i saw the origional and all of the 12 apostles. It was so beautiful. It really was great. T Then we went and saw the little mirmaid thing. just this little bronze mirmaid by the ocean -- not very exciting. but yeah we had a good time! All the missionaries here are doing really good. the other 2 are getting things going and Elder Clark is catching on to what is going on here. it will be really good. I DONT WANT TO LEAVE THIS PLACE. Kristiandstad is the best ever. There si just no place better. It use to be a unsucessful area until Langston came. Something just happened to it. We have all swedish investigators who are super positive and are willing to act. it will be really good. I wanted to get Alexander baptized also on the 28th, but he wasnt so into that. This week we are visiting alot of english and religion classes in highschools. it is really fun, and hopefully we can make them really sucessful and show people that there are people who actually believe in God and are willing to do something about it. We just got back from an english class, and it was really cool. one of the questions we got was "are more people religious in USA."I just pulled out my 1 dollar bill that i've always had in my wallet, and pointed to "in God we trust." and explained it. it was really cool. JUST BE GRATEFUL YOU LIVE IN A COUNTRY THAT CARES ABOUT GOD. Americans TRY to follow God. usually. we expect him to guide us and help us. That has to be the most fundemental diffrence between America and Sweden. Love everyone lots!! ÄA
