A stake event and a hairy salad

 Hej alla! 


I don't have a ton of time today, so this will be short and sweet. 

This week I:
- said goodbye to Syster Bagley.
- got a new companion, fresh from Canada, and her name is Syster Prendergast!
- got stuck on the phone for an hour with a old lady who had dementia and told me, in great detail, the ways in which three of her children died. 
- Planned, baked for, panicked about, and completed an entire stake event called the musikafton. Which, thank goodness, ended up going pretty well!
- taught one of the best, most straightforward restoration lessons ever with a guy named Lars who I met in the mall a couple weeks ago. 
- ate a salad that had a bunch of hair in it. 
- met a homeless guy who became a member of the church in Iceland about 10 years ago. He was actually super nice and can speak 14 languages.

This week I went and read Joseph Smith History again, and I have such a testimony that the heavens are open and God speaks to us today! 

Have an awesome week everyone !

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...
