A Week Survived

Hejsan! 

This week had quite a few difficulties. Can't lie. 
And that doesn't mean that it was unsuccessful, it doesn't mean that we failed, but it DOES mean that character was built. 

That being said, here's a little glimpse of our series of unfortunate events:
- Our little family couldn't get baptized yesterday.
- A phone was lost--BUT THEN FOUND. So that was good.
- A lesson we were psyched for ended up canceling last minute. 
- Many other lessons canceled.
- A homeless guy kissed my hand. 

But there were also good times! 
- We went on Splits with the Systers in Malmö, which was fun!
- We gave out 3 Book of Mormons on the street. 
- We got to teach ANOTHER religion class at a high school, which was fun, and gave out like 6 Book of Mormons after that as well! 
- We bought a devils food cake mix, which is hard to come by here in Sweden, and ate it. It tasted SO American. It was great.
- We got ice cream at a cute little shop here in Lund that makes it from scratch. 
- We went to Helsingborg for pday today, and recreated some iconic statues. 

All is well! 

I don't have much time, but here's a quick scripture I really like! 
Moroni 7:41:
"And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise."

We can always rely on Christ, and have hope through Him!

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...

The blessed jalapeño

 Tjena! This week was great!  We got TWO MEMBER referrals and it turns out one of them met with the missionaries over twenty years ago and loves our church!! She said that the members of our church "are love." Super cute.  We also: - went to a birthday party for a less active member and they served us papusas!! That was my first papusa experience. #shoutouttobeth - played innebandy at the church with some cool people - had a lesson about the nature of God with our friend *Mont. It was awesome. Everyone go read Alma 42. - accidentally cried in a Willy's grocery store  - met a really nice old Swedish guy on the street, and answered his questions about us and our church for about 30 minutes. And his wife was adorable, too.  - received a lasagna  - spoke in sacrament meeting on Sunday! #nice On Sunday, I spoke about miracles. Our God is a God of miracles! He's done them before, and he'll do them today.  Have a fantastical week. Sys Naatjes  snow! ...

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...
