> What's up all of you people out there. I am just great. This has been an awesome week. First, I am staying in Växjö and am not the greenie in the zone any more. (as of tomorrow) We taught a lot of people this week and I will start at the begining.
> Last Saturday we tried to go to Älghult, but once again we ended up on the wrong bus and ended up in the middle of nowhere. (there were about 10 houses). Anyway we went around and asked people, "do you know when the buss comes back" they all just told us to look at the schedule at the buss stop. Well we had and there was none. So, we walked the couple of kilometers to the next stop and fortunatly there was a Schedule. Well we were there and so we decided to make the best of it and tract. The first house we talked to an athiest and had a really nice conversation, at least my companion did. Anyway then the bus came and we came home. It was a fun trip.
> that night we taught the less active from El salvidor and Magid. both lessons were awesome. Elba came to Church again and I am so happy. We went to Älghult again on Monday, we made it that time. there is a Family there that is willing to be taught, and we will go back next week on monday (sorry, but I will write on Tuesday). Yesterday was by far the best day.
> We went to Teleborg (just outside of Växjö) and found some past investigators. Then we taught Elba again. There is such a difference in her. She seems happier, and she enjoys our teaches. That is what going to Church does for you, so keep going. It makes a difference. Right after Elba's teach the phone rang and it was a man who had been out of touch with us for the last two months. (I had never met him) His name is Danny and he is British and used to be in the British royal airforce. He was also a really successful business man, but his life has fallen apart, and is really hard for him now. He talked with us for a long time and he is a really smart man. I learned a lot from him. He said that even though its hard he just needs to get up and do something. Otherwse even though he asks The Lord will not help. We talked for a long time and he pretty much told us that the Church is true and only wishes that he had listened the first time. He said he liked a girl in his class and walked home with her. She told him she was LDS and told him a little about it. He has investigated the church on and off in his life and he is grateful for and remembers all those members he has met. (Be a good example people do watch and don't be afraid to open your mouth, you never now how it will affect people). He said that there comes a time when a man must stop asking questions and just say, "is it good, and do I want it" and then go. He is a really cool guy.
