Sorry everyone, yesterday (monday/pday) the library's were closed because it was 2nd day Easter. Swedes need lots of time to remember the Resurrection.

But yesterday was GREAT! We wen't with the Herreys (the senior couple with us) and their granddaughter and her kids out on the beach and looked for Fossils! it was super cool!! We found tons of them. Most of them are from plans or little shellfish. It was tons of fun! THEN after that me and my companion and Elder Herrey wen't on a teaching tour down south.  We taught quite alot of people and we were pretty tired after.  We were out working/doing something from 9am to 9pm.

Dang... Matt just told me I can sign up for classes!  Thanks but dang now I gotta do that.

We are teaching quite a few people which is awesome.  And one of them, probably the most positive, might move.... :(    AND we almost started a civil war in the branch here.  There is this one woman who was extremely mad when we had to cancel a dinner appointment with an investigator.  We didn't want to cancel at all but we had to because we got a really lucky opportunity to talk to some high school kids who wanted to do a report about us.  Anyway she flipped out and got super mad.  She kinda has problems with everyone, but we got off to an early start.  I was well prepared of how to handle the situation because Elder Loomis told me how to handle her, and the Herreys too.  I didn't want to offend her at all, but we really couldnt come.  She called the office, called the branch president, and called all her friends to try to get support, and bash us kinda.  It was a sticky sticky situation.  But I think I handled it well.  She kinda likes to take over everything, and I just didn't let her.  I held my ground, and just tried to reschedule.  She was really not happy.  But life's not fair so she can take it.  But we got over it and it was good.

Oh so something cool.  I'm reading in "Jesus the Christ" and I'm towards the end, and it was going thru the last week of Christs life, and it was Easter week, so that was really cool to visualize and think of.  I LOVE that book.  It's super good.  Hard language, but good.  I wanna finish that and the BOM in Swedish before I go home.

Anyway have a great day!

We watched 1.5 sessions of conference.  no, pretty much 2.  But it was kinda crazy.  I'm going to have to download them and put them on my ipod or something.  I can comment more on them once I've seen them :)
