Hey Family!! 091102

Hey!

Ok for things this week,

We had a pretty good week.  We got 13 teaches, and my comp was sick for most of the time.  It was good tho.  We also went on splits.  i went to Umeå with Elder Kroff.  That was pretty fun.  We taught a 11 year old kid that one day walked in their appartment and started talking to them.  He's an awesome kid.  His whole family is slowly starting to investigate the church.  It was pretty cool.  His dad died a few weeks ago, so i talked to him with that.  We did some good stuff tho there.  It was pretty fun.

We also had our english discussion class with our awesome high school friends.  They are troopers.  We play games with them for a little bit and then we talk about the gospel for a little.  Andreas is going to sing in sacrement meeting!!  I'm way excited for that.  He is awesome!!! we actually taught their english class again today.  High school classes can be an awesome way to find people if you do them right.  We did a pretty good job.

Another cool thing this week was what happened with our Iranian friends.  Parvaneh, the wife texted us asking if she can come to chruch on sunday.  It was pretty cool!!!  she came and she just wanted to sit in the hall way and read her koran.  She said that she hasn't had time to just think and do religious stuff sense she came to sweden.  I really care about them, they are so awesome!!  We are going to go to their house again sometime soon.  THat'll be fun.  I'm glad we got to be friends with them.  It's pretty cool to go see other people and what is going on in the world.  Parvaneh said she was really said that we could move in a few weeks, she said she considers us best friends.  That was pretty awesome, and she said that 4 months ago she lost her two best friends in all the troubles that happend in Iran.  one of her friends got thrown off a bridge and she was the first one to get to him, and he was dead.  Then another one of her best friends got shot right in front of her at a protest thing.  It's pretty sad...  I'm so glad we live in a peaceful nation!!!  America is one heck of a great place to live in.  I've never had such a great appreciation.

ANother note is that Thanksgiving is the best holiday in the world.  That's what i think all holidays should be like.  Family gets togther, have good food and say what they are thankful for!!!   Isn't that what christmas and easter should be like???  Where did all this greed and presents and materializm come from??  Anyway enjoy Thanksgiving because it's the most Godly and Holy holiday in my mind.

Other things....
Stig, our friend that is going to get baptized is doing awesome!!!  we went to his place and walked to the resturant where his newly married to wife works, and had some Thai dinner.  That was awesome!! we got to meet her for the first time, and Stig is fully ready for baptism.  He is one awesome guy!!!  I'm way excited for him.  He will be baptized on the 28th of November.  That is my 1½ year mark.  He is also a doctor, and has one funny sense of humor.  He is so funny.  We were talking about repentance and "change" in sunday school and he said something so funny.  I was laughing so hard.  He said something to the effect of "sounds like Obama".  It was so funny to hear him say that.

Anyway life is going pretty good!  this week a head will be pretty awesome.  Back down to Umeå for sharpening... and interviews, which means transfers are coming soon!!!!

anyway gotta go.  I love to hear from you guys!

Thanks,
