Midsommar.. is now gone.
It's strange because at the end of each week, I'm feeling great, motivated and usually pretty lugnt (calm). But during the week it is the hardest thing to just take another step. Just to move on.
Zone Leaders came on Monday, and we had some good times retouring Hög Klint, and showing them the grandeur of this wonderful city. I get focused on the work so I forget about it.. but man this city is cool. We taught a lot of people through the week, and more them later. A normal, good week with Midsommar thrown in!
Midsommar was good! We played frisbee with Claudien and his kids, danced around the pole, hung out with the members and then went home to the Blombergs and grilled some.. and played ticket to ride. Got my trash kicked, Jory - that'll make you happy. :)
It was a super fun day though, just to celebrate a Holiday and not really worry about much. Even so we met a few people and got a few contacts. A good day.
Had a cool experience about fasting though.
I decided to fast Saturday morning, just to get some answers about my life. The rest of Saturday was tough, and Sunday morning came and I was feeling pretty good. Until I broke my fast.
I immediately felt awful, and this feeling grew throughout church and I was literally on the edge of calling President it was so bad. Just a negative feeling and every possible concern I've ever had came to me, so I wrote them down.
But I somehow survived church with a good attitude, and then we went home to eat and study the language. We had a teach set up right after that, and we rode bikes with Rebecka (investigator) to the Herreys to watch the Testaments, and spiritually uplift her.
I remember two distinct points that came from that teach, although I was focusing on her, they were for me. I remember specifically the words ''Confidence'' and ''Christ.'' During that film, I understood the answer to all my questions. All those concerns I wrote down were answered by those two words. That's why I had that feeling during church. To show me the contrast! All of my concerns lie within those two points.
I felt like I was led by the Spirit to this fast, because of all the events that led up to it. It was an interesting experience and definitely a testimony builder.
But we started to see some life spark here in Visby.
Well. I learned this week the word prosit. Someone said it when I sneezed, and I was like ''Hey! My mom always said that!'' Ha ha. That happens occasionally. I love it.
