Hej hej!
Last week was kinda crazy, but this week is about to get
even more busy. We had a couple meetings last week that fell through but were
rescheduled for this week. On top of all the people last week that we met for
the first time who we're scheduled to meet this week, it's a lot of people. If
everything goes according to plan, we will start teaching 10 new people this
week, not counting anyone we haven't met yet.
On Wednesday we went on splits (that means we switched
companions for a day) and I was paired with Elder Grover from Borås. He's only
been out 7 weeks and I had only been out 1 week. So that was interesting. We
spent most of our time just talking to people on the street. I actually had a
lot of fun though and it turned out to be one of the most fruitful
contacting-stunds I've been a part of.
Also this week, we had a conference to attend in Göteborg.
We stayed the night with the elders in Västra Förlunda, one of which is Elder
Wolff from my congregation back home in New Jersey! That was really fun and
reminded me of home a little bit.
One of the people we met tried to teach us, among other
things, that the Bible teaches us that dinosaurs lived at the same time as
humans. Again, I would explain, but it would just be more confusing.
The scripture I chose this week is something I came across
in my personal study. The part of it that I appreciate the most is the part
where King Benjamin encourages us to "render to [God] all that [we] have
and are."
It is most important that we recognize how much we owe our
Heavenly Father. we are "eternally indebted to [Him]." He has given
us everything, not only that we have, but most importantly everything that we
can have through the Atonement of Jesus Christ whom He gave us as well. We owe
our life, salvation, and eternal life to God the Father and His Son Jesus
Christ. In return, it is only right and just that we devote everything to Him.
Not only everything we have, but also everything we are. As we turn to Him and
offer ourselves to Him, He will be able to make of us what He needs.
Enjoy your weeks, I love you all!
