Miracle O'Clock

 Hej Hej! 


Where to begin. I have no idea. But this past week was amazing. 

For one thing, we had a week long English fast--which was certainly a challenge. But me and Syster Taylor only almost killed each other like three times, so I'd call that a win💪

And now, for a flurry of miracles:
- We received a referral for a guy who recently moved here from Germany, and we were supposed to meet him on Monday night. BUT- on Monday night, he wasn't responding to us, and we didn't really know where he lived. We knew what building, but not which room. So we traveled to the apartment building, and decided to call a random room to let us into the building. They did! But then what? We were in his building, but we had no idea where to go. Syster Taylor suggested that we pray, so we did--boldly asking God to direct us to the apartment we needed to find. Immediately after, I had a strong impression that we needed to go up the stairs to another level. But once we did, I had no idea where to go next. Syster Taylor, on the other hand, walked right over to the very last door on the floor, and knocked. 
And it was him. The very first door we knocked. It was a testament of the power of the Spirit, and that God is truly guiding us in this work.
- I don't know if anybody remembers the story I told about the boy on the bus a couple weeks ago, but we met with him this past week! He told us that ever since I spoke with him that day, he's been seeing signs and miracles in his life, and he's even begun praying! 
- We randomly ran into some inactive members we've been struggling to get in contact with, because their train got stalled, and they had to take our train instead. They then invited us to come over sometime soon!
- On Saturday, all of our lessons fell through, so we decided on a whim to deliver cookies to a bunch of inactive members who we've never met. We ended up having really great contact with almost all of them! One of them hadn't had contact with the church in 11 years, and we ended up staying and talking with him for over an hour about the Holy Ghost and Jesus Christ. It was an amazing experience. 
-*Mason is going to be baptized this upcoming Saturday! Ahh!!

I am so grateful to be here in Sweden giving this time to the Lord and His work. I know that our God is a God of miracles, because I can see it every day. In every little joy, and every little "coincidence." 
In Mormon 9:15, it says: 
"And now, O all ye that have imagined up unto yourselves a god who can do no miracles, I would ask of you, have all these things passed, of which I have spoken? Has the end come yet? Behold I say unto you, Nay; and God has not ceased to be a God of miracles."

Have a good week!!

The fish n' chips I ate last Monday, which I have since changed my mind about. Nobody eat fish n' chips. They're dangerous. No further questions.

Me and Syster Taylor were feeling exhausted after three hours of studying and went to go get some naturgodis on our break. #depressionnuts

We made breadsticks to celebrate national breadstick day. YAY.

A fever and a new comp

Tjena! What a week. It was Kaos.  We: - ran around so that Syster Yoachum could say goodbye to everyone before leaving  - had hot chocolate and walnuts with our friend *Matt  - had transfers  - got sick **bonus points, I had a fever and felt AWFUL on transfer day so I stayed home at the apartment to sleep and break my fever before my new companion came to the area. #apostate **extra bonus points, my voice sounds like a grandma who has smoked for like 60 years - did a bunch of street contacting  - put our friend *Anna on date for baptism at the end of September!!! She's come to church 4 times now and she has such a pure soul. Love her.  My new companion is Syster Jaques, (pronounced like Jakes), and she's great! I think we'll have a fun transfer.  Yay! Have a good week everyone, and please enjoy the feeling of not being sick !  Syster Naatjes    Syster Jaques and I in the city hot chocolate and walnuts  the trio (eyes closed) Fika wi...

IT'S HOT

  Hej there everyone! This past week, as you might have guessed based on the subject line, was SO HOT. Holy goodness, me.  I learned two things from that trial: 1. I don't like the heat. 2. Black bike seats get SCORCHING when they sit out in the sun. Hot enough that you have to bike standing up to spare yourself the pain. Otherwise your caboose will be SUFFERING. I know it's a shocker, but I have yet to hear from Salt Lake about my travel plans to Sweden. (It's actually not a shocker. This is an official petition for them to get it together.)  Anywho, last week was honestly a struggle. It was hot, I was tired, and I kid you not when I say that every nonmember lesson we had ended up cancelling on us. Or not answering the door. Or not responding. Additionally, one of the people we had on date for baptism backed out, and doesn't want to meet with us anymore.  BUT, the existence of trials does not mean that there are no miracles.  To name a few: - I didn't pass out ...

Splits and Street Miracles

  Hej alla! I don't have much time, but I thought to write a couple miracles we saw this week. - We gave out not one, but TWO Book of Mormons on the street #swag - Invited a lady we met on the street to come to church this Sunday, AND SHE DID! And she loved it! She said that she'll come back next week and bring her son with her!  - We had a member in on one of our lessons, and they bonded SO WELL with our friend. It was awesome. I guess they both really like papagoyas? Very random lol - A random guy called us and said he wants to come to church ? Nice.  - I had been really craving American pizza, and had TWO opportunities to eat it in the past couple days. #SCORE  Some other random things: - One of our friends is from Egypt, and told us that "All Egyptians love Home Alone." As in, the American Christmas movie. Which made me laugh really hard.  - One of our members asked to do a fika after church and told us to invite all of our friends. Then we showed up with ou...
