I've played soccer 5 times since I've moved to Örebro and basketball once with the ward... yep. And I will continue doing so. Especially since our investigators keep coming to activities :)
I got the chance to finally watch the broadcast yesterday (I actually watched it in Swedish and was surprisingly able to understand most all of it... I definitely understand loads more now that I did when I first came to Sweden. Still working on expanding my being able to speak in Swedish, but it's coming!).
So my investigators!
Cherry - we taught him the plan of salvation, which he really responded to since he has lost members of his family in the past. We also taught him more about baptism and talked a bit about the sacrament. He even came to two football activities and a basketball activity with the ward, even though he wasn't able to come to sacrament meeting because he went to Stockholm last minute, but we're planning on meeting him several times this week.
Eric - He called us in the middle of the week wanting to meet us! He apparently couldn't wait for us to answer his questions so he went on mormon.org (which he knew of because we gave him a card with our number on it) and was asking the missionaries online to see if they could help him. He definitely has a sincere desire to learn if this church is true. He only laments the fact that church has to be in Swedish (he's only fluent in English and French, but he understands why...he just wishes he was in a French speaking country).
Balansama (new member) - He's doing well, except for the fact that he's sick... but he's excited to keep learning about the gospel!
Ulrika - she's heading to the States for the week, but she asked us to keep Balansama busy (so we definitely intend on using him on lessons this week)
Michel and family - we will be going by a couple of times a week to give short (at most 15 minutes) lessons to him, his wife, and two daughters. We're thinking of working on short simple topics since his daughters are young (3 and 4). But we hope as we focus on the children, his wife will want to learn more herself.
Something that stuck out to me this week: 2 Nephi 19:2 - "The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined." I love the message of hope and light. Those in darkness will always receive new light. Always!
I'll start sending some pictures now!
