Live Laugh Lund

 Hejsan! 


This week was good. It simply always is! 

Syster Kearns' last full week as a missionary was this past week, and I asked her beforehand if there's anything she wanted to do--SPECIFICALLY--to make it awesome. 
All she said was "enjoy it." So we did :) 

We:
- Bought falafel. 
- Went to Zonskonferens up in Helsingborg.
- Bought naturgodis as always. 
- Swung by inactives and got contact with them! 
- Gave testimonies on the fly in Sacrament meeting on Sunday. 
- Accidentally got stuck on the phone with an old lady for almost an hour and listened to her talk about an experience where she "left her body"?
- Had English class with our friend named *Aidan, who is SUPER NICE. 
- Met with our old Romanian friend named *John and answered all of his questions about his experience at church 
- Went and helped out at Seminary for the youth here 
- Had two powerful lessons with a family who's praying over a baptismal date right now! 
- !! GOT TRANSFER NEWS !! Shocker, I know, but Syster Kearns is leaving, and another Syster with be joining me here in the Promised Land ! I'll be picking her up in Stockholm this Wednesday. 
- Listened to Syster Kearns give her closing testimony to the mission on Sunday night over zoom. 
- Had our shower flood like 6 times. #notideal 

I love Lund, I love our friends, I love our ward, and I love my mission. It's truly a unique period of my life.

We've talked quite a bit about the plan of Salvation recently, and I'll just end by saying that I know we're here on earth for a purpose, I know we can fulfill our purpose through Jesus Christ, and I know that life doesn't end after death.
Talk about great news! 

Have an awesome week.

A Busy Sunday

  Hello everyone! We're going to hop straight in.  This week we: -Gave out more Books of Mormon on the street and by knocking doors. Always fun.  - Finally met with a really cute family that had been difficult to meet with! - Met with one of Syster Kearns' distant relatives who lives right outside of Lund! They got in contact with one another through ancestry and were able to meet and talk Swedish together! It was actually really cool. Syster Kearns got to explain that it was because of our religion that their common ancestors fled to the US, and is also now the reason why she's back here in Sweden. #fullcircle - Got kicked out of a Svenska Kyrka by a svenska kyrka priest who asked us to take off our name tags. Classy.  - Met a man who had no idea that his wife of 35 years is a member of our church and listened to him explain his deep, complicated, philosophical ideas.  - Got rejected many times on the street. -Had FIVE PEOPLE come to church yesterday! It was IN...

High highs and low lows

  Hejsan!  Vilken vecka asså!  It feels like SO many things happened. For better or for worse, haha!  A Monday night miracle:  We went out to talk to people at 7 pm--when it's cold and dark--and ran into one of the most prepared people I've ever met on my mission. His name is *Mitch, and we caught him right after he left the gym.  We asked him what gives him hope, and he didn't know. So he returned the question, and Syster Rollins explained that our hope comes from our faith in God and Jesus Christ.  He immediately lit up, and we told him about why we were in Sweden and some details about our church. He was very interested, and we met with him on Saturday!  The best lesson ever: We gave him a tour around the church, which he loved, and then taught him about the Restoration. He had awesome questions! By the end of the lesson, he said that: 1) God gives us the gift of discernment so that we can know what comes from Jesus Christ, and what doesn't. An...

I'm 20 now

Hej everyone!  Thank you so much for all of the birthday wishes. Very much appreciated.  This week was pretty eventful, actually! Some good stuff: - had Splits on my birthday, where I got to teach one of the best lessons of my mission. I don't know if I've ever seen a person more genuinely touched by the Plan that God has for us. It was awesome. - the sisters we stayed with threw a little party for me when we got back to the apartment that night, which was very cute of them. - I also gave out a Book of Mormon on my birthday, which was sweet! #bestgift - had another lesson with a woman from Ukraine who is really sweet and even reads the BOM on her own!  - ate a lot of naturgodis.  - met a guy on the tunnelbana who's mom was a witch, and we're meeting with him this week!  - ate waffles at Pablo's house yesterday. Some not so good: - Had to block a creepy guy on Facebook.  - had to live-translate our testimony meeting to English, which I am SO terrible at doin...
