Ok this week, maybe i'll just take snips from my emails to people.

to my Grandma,
"Gma you sure are a good example of service. That is really cool we are getting alot of Swahili people in SLC. Sweden has LOTS of immigrants. yesterday we went tracting and about half of them couldnt speak swedish. We were in a "bad" neighborhood, but we were looking for this swedish girl the missionaries taught about a year ago. I've gained some serious appreciation and love for the people of Iraq. Honestly. A family let us in yesterday from there, the mom could BARELY speak swedish, but the kids could. They had a girl who looked JUST like melissa! I showed her pictures and she thought it was pretty cool. Even though they are going to stick to Islam for ever I would be their best friend any day over most christians. We (colectivly as christians) do not live even close to what we preach. Sweden is the best example of that. But Muslims live what they teach, even if it isnt 100% right, they follow god, the best they know. I really love immigrants haha."

to President Anderson:
"The best thing that happened this week was on Saturday when we went to lunch with Alexander Appelqvist. he said that on next tuesday he will know WHEN he will get baptized. He said that he wants it to be a private baptism. I thought that was interesting, and really shows that he is doing it for the right reasons. he had some basic questions that we answered. Basically it came down to tithing and preparing to pay it. He was wondering if he still should pay the swedish church 1% and our church so he gets the funeral stuff they offer. So that was easy to answer, we actually called our mission leader here and asked him.
The mission leader here in Kristianstad is awesome. he is really good. Other things are coming, just slowly.
Our less active guy we are working with, Daniel Pedersen is almost completely back. He was sick this week, and that is why he didnt come to church, but we are going to do something fun with him, like go bowling and eat pizza. Usually when we visit him we just read a chapter from the book of mormon and discuss it. He wants to get married in the church, but we explained that that will never happen unless he is active. That got him thinking. He is a great guy.
Things are almost the same with Erica. She is coming, just slowly.
Same with Jerry Appelqvist. They will come around soon."

Live is good!!!
