What am I supposed to name these things anyways. 1/04/16

So this week I got to go on splits with the Zone Leaders. It was a dandy time. I learned a lot from them. Through their example I learned a lot of ways that I can improve and I am so grateful for that. I got to teach district meeting this week again. It was on humility which, in case you didn't know, is my strong point. So naturally I thought wow this is going to be super easy to talk to them about humility for an hour. I am supposed to be an example of what I teach right? haha So I was nervous about it. I mean I could prepare a little bit but I didn't know how they would respond and how to talk for an entire hour. On the drive there (The ZLs have a car) I was praying about how I could have more, how I could make it better. How could I make it a good districts meeting that members of the district could apply and become better by doing so. I didn't really get an answer. or so I thought. So I went on teaching the district meeting and it went incredibly. The Holy Ghost leads teaching so well. 

Funny story: So we went to this guy's house to drop off a Book of Mormon in Swahili. He said we could come in and teach him a little bit more. So we did. As we were getting ready to go, I remembered that we had Fufu and I thought that he would want to know because I told him I was going to have it last time I was there. He then proceeded, as we were walking out the door, to close the door told us to sit down and made us Fufu and pepper soup. He asked us if we wanted to watch a movie and we told him we don't and then he just told us to find something on the church website. So we watched the Joseph Smith movie with him and ate his pepper soup with rice balls (I guess he didn't have fufu). To wash our hands we did it in a bowl instead of a sink. When that guy was in the kitchen my companion turned to me and was just like, "This only happens as a missionary. I am sitting in a strangers house, watching the Restoration movie, washing my hands in a small bowl, with a guy that can't speak much English, eating Pepper soup and rice balls." I thought it was pretty funny. I love missionary life. 

I am thankful for this church and for the Book of Mormon. I am thankful for the Holy Ghost in my life to guide me. I am thankful for examples in my life. I am grateful for my friends here in Sweden and back home. Thank you all so much for everything! 

​Oh also you can put this on the blog. We had some non-proselyting time on New years eve so we decided to hike up the ski resort in our dress clothes. It was okay though because Sweden does't have real mountains. XD It was still pretty biggish though. Not really.
