So this week has been good. We've spent a lot of our time trying to finish up the last people we wanted to visit on our swing-by list (sort of a large list of all of the potential investigators and former investigators in Karlstad). All in all, that's gone okay; we've found a few people who are willing to meet and we now know more concretely where a lot of the people we could visit stand. So that's all good. Whenever we contact people on the street we usually bear testimony. Or at least talk about some church-principle that we think would engage their interest.
Aside from that, we visited the L family earlier in the week, but I mentioned that in my previous letter (on account of a late p day). So you're already up to speed on that.
On Saturday, we went to work in the Family History library at the church, and two pretty cool things happened. The first is that one of the members who usually comes to work on family history came and did some family history work (which I guess was fairly ordinary). However, a little bit later, another person came who actually wasn't a member! I guess that he saw a sign that other missionaries had put up in the city library, and he decided to check it out. He largely just looked at what kinds of records we have and what kind of programs we have, etc., but it was pretty cool. And he seemed like a fairly friendly guy. Hopefully we'll be able to see him around again.
In other news, Presiedent Newell came through town again on Sunday. He came to church and helped with primary, which was pretty cool. We helped translate during the lesson (largely for the younger kids who don't speak English), but it was a pretty fun change from the usual Sunday routine. The lesson was on missionary work (surprise!) and giving thanks. I learned how to say thank you in Japanese (domo arrigato, I think? I could be completely wrong.)! Good fun.
Celebrated my companions birthday with a cake (3 candles!).
Either way, I hope that all is well with you guys!
