Goodbye Västerås
I am going to Sundsvall!!! That is what happened this week. Ta da. That is all. haha jk
So I always have a terrible memory when it comes to remembering the week.
Maybe I can do an area recap. So the area here is really good. I got here with Elder Purkey and now I am leaving my Mission son. He should be fine. He learned the language pretty quick and works. One of the things that I think I improved here is the member missionary work. We have been focusing on it a lot. We aren't perfect missionaries and we still aren't as connected with the missionaries as we ought to be but things are going really well here with member trust and their missionary work is picking up.
One of the biggest things that I have learned here would probably be being steadfast. I am so thankful for prayer and for answers to prayers. You NEED to recognize the answers when they come. It says nowhere that I have found that when you pray about the church or the Book of Mormon or any of that stuff that the answer will come as a loud voice or an immediate voice. For me I have found that it is more of a process. I start to read the Book of Mormon with a prayer, I get feelings and insights, and then I end with a prayer. You can not forget those little miracles you got. Those were pieces of the answer that came. And when you doubt, (not to have sincere questions but to doubt.) it seems like that stock pile of answers you have received can just fall through. You must be true to it. Like Elder Holland says, "I am not asking you to pretend to faith youdo not have. I am asking you to be true to the faith you do have." I am so thankful for the quite moments that I have with Heavenly Father to talk with Him and for Him to listen. I am thankful for the Holy Ghost and for its teaching power, both in teaching me and helping me teach. Västerås is a great city.
Other stuff that happened this week:
1. Visited Benita for the last time. She is so amazing and strong. She got operated on for her cancer a few weeks ago but she is recovering. She has started to come to church every week now. I am so thankful for her example.
2. We had zone training and we learned about being converted. President Beckstrand talked about how when someone on the street tells us that we are crazy, that we get discouraged, then we doubt. He talked to us a lot about it and it was really good. Don't get discouraged.
3. Other good stuff :)
Thank you all so much! Love you all!

This was a cool week. On Tuesday we went with a member out of our area to Stockholm and then north east. I was at that point closer to Finland than I was to my actual area. It was kind of funny. So he thought that we, the missionaries and him were sufficient man power to move a lot of VERY heavy equipment. We moved a big ancient air compressor that must have weighed like 600 or 700 pounds. It wouldn't budge when we touched. So we used a ghetto winch and ski system to move it about 20 feet and then up a 2 foot overhanging ledge. It was so sketchy. Our member is really out of his mind but it was pretty funny and a great experience. After that we moved some other things that weighed much less weighing in at probably 500 pounds and 400 pounds. The cool part though was that on the way home we looked north and guess what we saw? The northern lights! They were pretty dim. It was a green color against the black night. I hope that I can see them in full effect sometime but I will settle for seeing them at all for now.
We did a lot this week but I have only a few minutes left. I will tell you about the talk I gave yesterday. I wrote a talk for sacrament and every time I practiced it I had only gotten to about 9 minutes. Right before the meeting the member of the Branch Council told me I needed to go over 10 preferably around 12 minutes. I was like okay thanks for putting pressure on me last second. So I had to let the spirit guide. I said a prayer or two before. It was so cool. Once I got up I wasn't scared at all and I could just speak Swedish it seemed like. Like more than normal! ha The member came up to me after and commented on how my Swedish pronunciation was great and there wasn't much he could fix in the grammar.. I just really feel like God helped me a lot with the gift of tongues. I felt really good after church for the rest of the day.
Tomorrow we get to go to Zone training! I am really excited. Thanks for everything you guys all do for me!

So I have no time to write an email as usual but I thought I should just let everyone know, that I Äldste Frankman, against the lack of faith of my district members, finished 72 nuggets in under an hour. I felt pretty okay after. Anything to build district moral right? Apparently they didn't know that my normal diet is about that bad.
Love you all thanks for everything. I am so thankful to be on a mission and to grow closer to God and Christ. It is seriously a big blessing.
Sincerely,
Elder Frankman
