Oh boy, what a week! Lots of cool things happened this week
and now everyone is coming home from summer vacation so now our schedule is
going from empty to full! Yay! Every missionary's dream!
First little miracle of the week: We found gifflars for 2
kroner this week. 2 KRONER! That's unheard of! Usually one bag of gifflars, on
sale, is 10 Kroner! I was so excited! Gifflars are a Swedish snack. They are
like mini cinamon rolls, except a million times better. They have them in
cinamon, chocolate, blueberry and, my favorite, vanilla. I was ecstatic that i
could buy 5 bags of gifflars for the price of one. :D
This week we had an appointment with a girl named maria.She
is so ready! Last sunday she paid fast offerings because she is not a
member yet and wanted to pay tithing in some way. Crazy! She went to
Festinord this year(an efy for young adults in the scandanavian countries). She
was telling us at this eating appointment that she didn't want to leave because
she wanted to feel like that all the time. We told her "you can when you
have the gift of the holy ghost!" She really liked the sound of that! And,
it gets better. She asked us to bring a Norwegian Book of Mormon. We found out
that she wants to give it to a non-member cousin! She's not even a member and
she's doing missionary work! The only problem now is that her mother doesn't
want us to push her too hard so we can't invite her to baptism yet. Her mother
is a member. Gah! But, her mom is a great member missionary. SHe's given us
many refferals, so i can't complain. I can see that she just wants her
daughter to be ready to accept because she wants her to have it in her
life so bad.
Another cool story is that we found a new investigator
totally by accident! We were trying to find a less active's house, but i
accidentally read the address wrong. We went to number 10 instead of 27.
Kind of a dumb mistake, but totally inspired! They want us to come
back and teach them about how we can be with our families forever! It's amazing
how guidance comes and we don't even realize it.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week! Thanks for all the
letters and emails of support from everyone!
Kærlighed,
Søster Erin Handley
