Couldn't have said it any better....
"Put On For My City, (Uppsala)
"So... this week is transfers and Elder Allsop and I are still going to be staying in Thee Dang Uppsala, home of puke filled streets and Australian and Swedish babes. (Elder Allsop’s Quote.)
This week we have an amazing story, but it starts about a month ago. So at the beginning of the New year Elder Allsop and I started to really trying to figure out what we need to do here in Uppsala, so that It will never be that crazy hymn book throwing ward its been. We felt that we really needed to focus on Strengthening the members and also trying to Find, Teach, Baptize. We made a goal, after much prayer and guidance through the Spirit. That we would find, teach and baptize someone on the 9th of February.
"So we went to work. Everyday talking to everyone, also teaching as many as we could. But we got to this last Sunday thinking that we had no one that could even be baptized. We knew for certain that our planning and work would NOT be for nothing. We knew that we could still get this goal that we confidently set in faith with the Lord.
"On Sunday hoping and praying one of our investigators would come.... none of them did. But, a man from Sierra Leone, named Mohamed came in the doors. He’s lived in Sweden for about 12 years trying to find the right church, he said that he has found it. On the 9th of February Mohamed, is going to be following the Saviors example by being baptized. He's already known to the ward as Brother Mohamed! He's one of the greatest men i have ever come in contact with.
"But this is not where the story ends, after church we had a woman come into the building. Victoria, she had been driving by the church for the last 7 years. She's been studying about the church for a while now and wants to be baptized with her small family..... of 9. 7 Boys. So we will be teaching them all soon enough. :)
"Its going absolutely great here. I am super happy to be doing everything in my power to bring people unto Christ. I love everyone of you and I hope that you all can take those steps towards him as well. "
Mvh,
Äldste Haddon
