This week, in our ward, we had the primary program. It was really incredible! There are about 15 children in the primary here... (a lot for the 55 member ward! ) They did incredibly well, and I really felt the spirit! Plus, there were the really young children giving talks, bearing testimony, and singing! I loved it!
I really don't know what language I am dreaming in anymore... I think it is a blending of all the languages that I use... oh! I started learning Persian too! =P I found that with the Book of Mormon, I can use the names and teach myself the alphabet... and from there I just have to have one of my investigators help me with the other letters, and then some of the basic root words and conjugations... then I can get the rest! =P But, that comes on the side, for fun... before bed and such, the rest of the time I read in Swedish or French!
The week of Thanksgiving! It is going to be a good week! I am thankful for the opportunity that I have to be here as a missionary and serve others around me here in the beautiful land of Sweden. I speak of Sweden for I am here, and I know personally that the Lord has great hopes for this people. I know as well that other countries are also important... but I am a little biased... =P. I love Sweden and its people. They are kind, and generous. They like to help others when they can. They are an incredibly honest people. I am truly grateful to be here and to learn from them. I hope that the blessings of heaven may fall upon this people as they open their hearts and embrace the gospel of Christ. I am grateful for my Savior and the sacrifice He offered that I may be free from my sins, that I can be forgiven! I am thankful for my parents and the examples they have been for me. I am thankful for my siblings, they are my best friends. I am thankful for all of my friends, for their good influences on me, and their examples. I really needed them, and I am here because a lot of them believed in me. I am thankful for my Father in Heaven, that He has given me so very much. I am thankful for this world and the miraculous opportunities it gives each and everyone of us! There are so many things to be grateful for! Find them, name them, and thank God for them in prayer. As we do so, we will find greater joy in life, and a greater willingness to share. I know the gospel is true, I love being a missionary.
Have a great week!
Love you all!
