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 !

End of an Era

  Hej!  This past week has been great. As always, we've seen miracles. And weird things, too! But I'm just absolutely filled with gratitude to be a servant of the Lord. Especially this past week, for some reason. This week we: -had an awesome lesson with a young Father, who's just trying to mend his relationship with God. Very pure.  - taught our friend *Anna and her 18 year-old son about prayer.  - made breakfast and watched general conference with our members and our friends on Sunday morning. #swedishvåfflor  - gave out a Book of Mormon in Persian to a sweet old lady who tried to speak Persian to us for like 10 minutes.  - got to have a great lesson with our friend *Marianne, and she had a lot of great questions about conference.  - got to eat some homemade rulltårta with one of our friends and his family. Very cute.  - had in-person distriktsråd and the Elders made us lunch. It was like a finish version of baked macaroni and cheese.  - fi...

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...

A Fortnight in Stockholm

  Tjena!  This week went by pretty quickly. On Thursday we took the 5 hour train to Stockholm for Splits, and then came back the VERY next day. Another 5 hours. What a gem of a ride. But it was fun!  I got to split with Syster Layton, who is SUPER NICE. We taught a 10 year old boy who's getting baptized next Saturday, and he goes to a special elementary school for dancers. When we asked him for dancing advice, he told us, mid-stretch, "don't be afraid to do your thing."  Amen.  This week, me and Syster Welton: - were broke - picked up a weight set that my parents sent me in the mail💪 - taught *John about the restoration!  - taught a cute little family about the Word of Wisdom, and they took it INCREDIBLY well. Amazingly well.  - ate semlor! It's a seasonal pastry in Sweden, and it was pretty dang good! It's like a soft bun with marzipan and almond creme.  - met some new friends!  - got preached to by a mildly crazy lady. But it's okay, we lo...
