Hejsan!
This week was great! We were able to see some good progress
in some of our investigators as well as had time to do some classic finding
work. I love being a missionary and love talking with people about Christ's
restored gospel! It brings so much joy.
This week, all the Swedish high school students in their
last year celebrated graduation by putting on white caps and parading through
town while screaming and whistling. That was a sight to see. I definitely
didn't get to do that when I graduated high school.
This week was the last week of the transfer, but because I'm
training Elder Burns, we'll be staying together for at least 6 weeks more while
we finish up training. I'm looking forward to spending some more time in this
beautiful city as summertime comes around!
I've thought about this scripture a lot this week. The
Savior teaches us here that the Lord will always answer our prayers by using
the analogy that any rational, loving father would never give his son a stone
when he asks for bread. What I've learned in my admittedly short life is that
God does really answer our prayers and would never give us a stone if we needed
bread.
However, sometimes we ask for cake when the Lord knows that
what we need is the nourishment that comes from a loaf of bread. We may not
receive what we ask for, but if we ask in faith, the God will surely bless us
with what we need. The question is then, how do we react when we receive the
bread we need instead of the cake we wanted?
I know that our Heavenly Father is conscious of us--our
wants and our needs. I know that an active faith in Him will lead to the joy,
comfort, and confidence that we need in this life.
Love,
