So we talked to Thomas and he is actually genuinely searching now. He wants this to be true. We taught him about fasting and committed him to fast about whatever is holding him back from baptism (although it was phrased a lot better and more missionarily than that). He came to church yesterday and got up in fast and testimony meeting and gave a great testimony on how he sees God in groups. He just like how we organize families. He loves having the branch as friends. We are meeting him today at 6PM (10AM) your time. (probably. Assuming you live in Idaho/Utah) I am super excited. I think that things are going to go really well.
We were talking to a Potential Investigator and we were going to meet him in his house on Saturday, but he broke his arm and didn't really want to meet. He is such a good person. He is a healthy Seventy five year old man. He always tells us about his mother. His mother was a great Christian and he has been influenced by her example. I have too. She really knew what it meant. But anyways he really loves Americans... He thinks that Swedes are a lot more rude than Americans. He asks us all the time, "People don't spit in the streets in Salt Lake City do they? The Swedes spit in the streets." haha He also tells us this story every time we see him, "My mother always says, 'If I were to do it all over again, I would move to America.' And I always ask why is that? She would say to me this one thing. This one thing she would say to me, 'Americans... they are so fine.'" So he loves the missionaries and he loves the LDS Church. So we happened to run into him on the street right by our church and he said, "How about we go in your church and you tell me why I need to be a Mormon." We of course gladly accepted. He in the course of the lesson said, "What do I need to do again to be a member?" We said baptism. He was like, "I can do that. How is that done?" He said he is sick of other churches just being basically for the social aspect. He said also that he is going to come to our church from now on. He is so prepared!!! It isn't even funny. I really hope that paragraph makes sense.
I get a new companion in two days! Guess where he is from? come on just guess. Utah? no Idaho? no Finland? yeah!!! I am super duper excited to learn from him.
We had another lady show up in church names Touhida who is a single mom with a three year old daughter who is sooo cute. God is just tying everything together to work. Please pray that I don't unravel it all XD
Thanks for the prayers, the emails, and everything else.
Sincerely,
