20 Hours on the Train

Tjena tjena!

This past week we had both a mission tour conference in Göteborg, and then MLC in Stockholm! It was chaos--and it feels like I was hardly in my own area!

And it was a LOT of time spent on the train.

But it was fun.

In the time that I WAS in Lund, we were able to have an awesome lesson with a guy who we met by knocking doors. He has read quite a few chapters of the Book of Mormon at this point, and told us that he doesn't know if he has faith yet-- but that he wants to! Which is an amazing start. Anybody who has even a desire to believe, a desire to have faith, or a desire to find truth--can find peace and clarity in the doctrine of Jesus Christ. And it's something we can develop over time as we do just small acts to try and come closer to Him.

Other cool events that happened:

- We had fast and testimony meeting in church yesterday, and one of our investigators was incredibly touched by some of the brave kids that went up to share their testimonies. He leaned over and said to me "Suffer the little children to come unto me," as spoken by Christ. And it was really beautiful.

- Me and Syster Welton made banana muffins with my old bananas which were piling up since we were out of town all week.

- We met a woman who said she really wants to learn more about our church and have regular meetings with us!

- I got to see good friends and past companions at the conferences!

And lastly, we got TRANSFER NEWS!

-->I'm going to be moving to Stockholm this Wednesday, and I'll be in an area called Gubbängen! I've heard great things about it.

It'll be weird to leave this town that I love, and the awesome people that I've met here. But I'm excited for what's ahead!

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...
