Turns out you CAN run from the truth

 Hejsan vänner! 

We started off this week hosting exchanges with the systers from Karlskrona. And it was SO much fun. 

We:
-went to Malmö and got a nice brunch  and some milkshakes 
-celebrated Fettis Tisdag together by getting semlor at EspressoHouse 
- Taught a lesson about the commandments to an old man 
- went and talked to people on the street and QUITE LITERALLY had a girl about our same age SPRINT away from us. We said hi, she looked at our nametags, backed up slowly, and then split. That had never happened to me before. There's a first time for everything!

This week we also:
- had a hula night with all of the old women in the congregation as well as a couple of the young women. I'm embarrassed to say that I had hip soreness the next day. 
- went street contacting, and I was feeling a little discouraged after I got stuck talking to a crazy guy for about 20 minutes. BUT THEN I went over and talked to a little old couple sitting on a bench only to find that the woman ALREADY had a Book of Mormon. And she hadn't started reading it yet, but is interested in meeting and reading it together! I also got to give a BOM to the man she was with. So that was pretty swag. 
- WENT TO COPENHAGEN AGAIN ON SATURDAY AND GOT TO GO TO THE TEMPLE! It was awesome. I'm so grateful for temples and for the luck I had to get to visit it. 
- bought some Mexican food in Copenhagen because we never get Mexican food here, and then they only gave us like 3 bites of food and charged us for the water. Tough deal. 

I was also asked to speak in sacrament meeting with a one hour notice yesterday. #missionarythings 

I've been reading in the New Testament lately, and I've been focusing on the miracles that Christ performs. I just want everyone to know that even though we haven't physically met him--we can all experience the power of Jesus Christ in our lives through the Atonement. So use it! It's the greatest miracle of all! 

Have a nice week !

Everything Cancelled

  Tjena!  Everything cancelled this week. Oops. That's alright. Literally everyone is sick it feels like! Whatcha gonna do. We spent quite a bit of time on the street, and... - gave out two Book of Mormons in a Arabic! - gave out a Book of Mormon in Ukrainian! - accidentally met a homeless man with no teeth that had recently thrown up and was gnawing on a rotisserie chicken wing. It was a little traumatizing to be honest💀 - met a man who tried to recruit us into joining his pyramid scheme - took a selfie with a woman from Cambodia who wanted a picture with Americans  We also: - spent an hour trying to match up three huge bags of socks #service - had a game night, and failed to teach some Sri Lankan men how to play UNO  - found a disgusting bug in our butter - read 3 Nephi 11 with our friend and it was awesome  - went on Splits with the Örebro sisters!

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!

A Thursday Night Dop

  Hej alla! This past week was a little bit crazy, but it was great! Our friend Frida was supposed to get baptized on Saturday, but then asked if we could move it to Thursday! So we did! It was really great. A lot of members came to support her, and it was very sweet. Unfortunately, she was supposed to get confirmed on Sunday and then felt really sick that morning and couldn't come to church... it'll have to be next Sunday, then! (Though I won't be there to see it...)  We also: - helped our friend move apartments, and met a friend of his who personally knows Bob Marley, Muhammad Ali, and several other famous people. He then played his harmonica for us. Very cool. - we also met his other friend who was also there help him move, and we gave him a Book of Mormon!  - Had some good lessons with great friends  - Had a lesson with a girl who admitted that she's actually trying to convert us into being pentecostal... And we also got transfer news-- I'll be moving to a diffe...
