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 !

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...
