First of all, sorry this is so late. We went to Helsingborg today and played volleyball at the beach (kind of torurous...the water looked fantastic!!) and we got back in time for the Rades to leave the center so we had to go to the library...which was closed. So we got permission to email at the center. Anyway, we had an awesome week last week. We got 4 new investigators and we had 3 in church!! Tuesday wasn't very eventful. We had to stop teaching Emil, even though he's super cool. But he wasn't really willing to convert, just discuss and find historical errors in the Book of Mormon...not so cool. We also taught Wangbo and it went well. Wednesday was great. We went and visited Gunnel (which was crazy as usual...) and then went tracting. We hadn't had very much success after about an hour so we stopped outside one door and said a short prayer. Then we knocked on that door and this adorable married (seriously!) couple answered. We started our little approach and asked if we could come in and tell them more. They were like, "Well, we were just about to sit down and eat, but come on in!" They asked us if we wanted something to eat...we just wanted water. So we all sat at their kitchen table and talked for a while. Their names are Martin and Cecilia and they're very strong Catholics. But they're so sweet and said we could come back any time!! So Wednesday was a great day! On Thursday we had district meeting in Halmstad. We took the train up and it was a really good meeting. We missed our train back and then the one we took got waaaay delayed so we had to cancel our teach with Wangbo. Bummer. But we had a great day Friday. We decided to have a dedication day so we fasted and did a bunch of finding work. Actually it was kind of a stupid thing to do...it was about 95 on Friday and we were fasting and out all day. But we got a phone number from this amazing African guy named Gilbert. He's so cool! Saturday we did some finding work with the elders again and then we got to teach these 2 Chinese guys who just moved here from Kristianstad. Their names are Harry and Udian (Udian picked his English name from World of Warcraft II. He's super cute and chubby and soooo funny!!!) and they're AMAZING! They're so prepared and want to get baptized. The only problem is that they're worried that they wonät be able to keep the Word of Wisdom when they go back to China because it's part of the culture to drink a lot...but we're working on it. After we taught them we taught Wangbo. That was kind of frustrating because he kept saying how he didn't understand why there could only be one true church and the way he sees it, all roads lead to Rome. We tried to explain but in the end just encouraged him to pray about it. The problem is that he really doesn't have a testimony of...anything. He's not sure if he believes in God and he doesn't recognize the answers to his prayers. Please keep him in your prayers. Also Harry and Udian. They all came to church yesterday (the ward was a littel shocked to see so many Chinese people there...) and loved it. We're teaching Harry tomorrow and we're excited. He's Udian's best friend and it's super funny because he's really skinny and serious and Udian's...not. They're a funny pair. Anyway, the only other news I have is that it's HOT!!! I'm getting both ends of the spectrum. It sounds like everyone had a good week there. I can't believe that Taylor's home. Time goes so fast. Today I have been in Sweden for 14 months...yesterday was my 16 month mark. I am officially an old missionary. Anyway, I'm sorry I don't have more exciting information to tell you. I'll hopefully be able to write some letters soon and give much more info. I love you all!
Love,
Syster Coleman
