On Tuesday (and Friday) we went and helped the L family on their farm again. That all went fairly well. One Tuesday we helped with their sheep, which was a lot of fun. They have a lot of sheep and they're really friendly. It's kind of funny how, when entering their barn, they all just run up to you and honestly make it kind of hard to walk without tripping over them. We helped hold the sheep while C, one of the family members, clipped their hooves. And then on Friday we helped move hay again (I actually stacked it up in the rafters, which was kind of fun, though really tiring. It's like playing with giant twenty to forty pound Legos). And, of course. we had dinner and a spiritual thought with them both times. They're really a great family, I enjoy meeting with them. So this week that we fed sheep this week both metaphorically and literally. But it is kind of interesting how the sheep really do follow the farmer or herder just as we are supposed to follow our "Shepard" Jesus.
Wednesday morning was fairly ordinary, though something fairly interesting happened later in the day. We had received a few referrals from Mormon.org a few weeks ago, though we hadn't been able to have solid contact with many of them. We had tried visiting one of them a few times, but she was never home. Either way, on Tuesday we tried swinging by one more time before calling it a night and heading back for dinner, when M, the referral, answered the door! We ended up having a pretty good discussion with her; she seems really interested in learning about the church and already has researched it quite a bit. It should be good getting to know her better over the coming weeks.
We are also working with another less active named C M (who is American! He's really cool, but doesn't really know that much about the church, he was just baptized when he was eight).
And then on Thursday we had exchanges with the Zone Leaders. I worked with Elder C, which ended up being pretty fun. We mainly just used the ZL's car and visited a lot of people who live near the city but are just a little bit out, and we found a lot of potential investigators that we'll have to try to follow up with this week or the next.
And, in other news, we recently received word that there's going to be a transfer soon! As it turns out, this Wednesday, we'll be getting Elder B here in Karlstad, and, also as it turn out, neither Elder C or I will be leaving. We'll be working in a three-way companionship for the next month or so. Should be interesting! The more the merrier!
