Well what a week it HAS been! With our feelings that we had last week me and my companion have really decided to focus on Less-actives in this branch. The reasons being is because it really is hard to bring investigators and baptize them into the church when it doesn't have a safe and TESTIMONY BUILT foundation. So this week we visited many less-actives and some of them happily welcomed us into their homes! It was really good to see which ones still had that desire to come to church and not so fun to see some of the members that HAD testimonies not feasting upon the words of Christ and ENDURING to the end. I think some people really forget the meaning of the word ENDURE. We were able to teach these members the message of God's UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for everyone of them. And that even though we arent always turned to him. Christ is there at the door with open arms waiting for them to Ask.. Seek... Knock! That has definitely become one of my favorite scriptures. One man called us one day and told us to come to his house. the next day we scheduled him in and took a 45 minute bus ride to his house. We asked him why he called us and if he was a member... he kept talking about how he was a member and that he never came because the Branch President didn't let him. He said the branch president sent some papers to him and said he was pretty mad. But we... not knowing much showed him the Restoration film to invite the spirit into his house and then invite him to church. Much to our surprise he was able to come to church! He came down and sat down and it happened to be fast and testimony meeting. During our branch president's testimony he raised his hand as to suggest that he WANTED to ADD something! After President was concluded he ran up there and started bearing testimony about his life story.. for 20 minutes. After a while... he was escorted off the stage when he talked about how he wants the Branch president to forgive him for what he did. It really was irrelevant. Come to find out after he was ex-communicated! But anyways Church was one of the highlights of the week! We found a girl on the street last monday... taught her twice during the week and then invited her to come to church! And she came! I asked her if she got a testimony of the book of mormon if she would get baptised.. and she replied with a positive "ah" meaning YES! haha we told her to read and pray to find out the truth. So theres a really positive investigator! Marvin.. our main man from PERU came to church so this Saturday is his baptism and its looking like that this will be my FIRST person I baptize! I am super excited! He has so many questions and he is just so accepting of the gospel and really looks forward to the piesthood most of all! He's doing great and looking positive! We were able to celebrate Pan's birthday with her and we are starting to teach her husband.. although he is traitional swedish... Pan really is pressuring him to get baptized! its kind of funny actually! We are finding more and more YOUNG MEN who are really open to religion and Växjö is really being blessed!
