Vad bra!

 Hej alla!

This week was busy, and awesome.

And miracles were seen.

Earlier in the week, I put a Persian book of Mormon in my backpack before going finding on the street. 
Before heading out on Saturday, I took it out of my backpack...but then had a thought: "You never know!" So I put it back. 
That morning, we hopped on the tunnelbana and I saw that the lady sitting next to me was typing on her phone in Persian. I starting talking to her only to find out that she's from Iran, and is Christian. She told me that "Jesus is everything." I proceeded to tell her that I have another book, called the Book of Mormon, that testifies about Jesus Christ--and how I even had one in Persian! 
She took it and looked at it--and then asked if she could keep it! So I gave it to her and we exchanged numbers. 

Other big events:
- a guy who I chatted with on Facebook about the Book of Mormon back in November got baptized on Saturday ! I had referred him to the elders in Stockholm, and then found out after coming here that he was on date! Super cool.
- Me and Syster Bagley usually split up to talk to people on the tunnelbana and we accidentally got separated for a little while when she forgot to get off at our stop. We weren't apart for that long, but it was funny.
- We taught another lesson in Spanish  to a woman who gave me her number last week. We gave her a Book of Mormon in Spanish and her grandson a Book of Mormon in Swedish. It was really fun, and they had great questions. 
- The Elders in our ward had a baptism on Saturday as well, and asked us to bring fika for it. So we made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies--and they were a hit! 
Oh, and the baptism was good too.
- We gave a presentation about humility on Tuesday at zone conference and humbled the masses. It was really fun.
- We got to watch part of the Disney movie Cars in Swedish on Saturday. 
- We had Splits with the Systers in Örebro and so I got to spend some time with Syster Kesler who is very sweet.

And we got transfer news! 
I will be staying here in Gubbängen, and training a new missionary here.

Love you all! 
Remember that Jesus is everything.

Everything Cancelled

  Tjena!  Everything cancelled this week. Oops. That's alright. Literally everyone is sick it feels like! Whatcha gonna do. We spent quite a bit of time on the street, and... - gave out two Book of Mormons in a Arabic! - gave out a Book of Mormon in Ukrainian! - accidentally met a homeless man with no teeth that had recently thrown up and was gnawing on a rotisserie chicken wing. It was a little traumatizing to be honest💀 - met a man who tried to recruit us into joining his pyramid scheme - took a selfie with a woman from Cambodia who wanted a picture with Americans  We also: - spent an hour trying to match up three huge bags of socks #service - had a game night, and failed to teach some Sri Lankan men how to play UNO  - found a disgusting bug in our butter - read 3 Nephi 11 with our friend and it was awesome  - went on Splits with the Örebro sisters!

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!

Fest after Fest

  Tjena!  This week was full of parties. We had a ward grillfest, AND our new member Katarina had her birthday party. Both were good. And both were scheduled at the same time on the same day. So we hopped back and forth!  We also: -met a group of old Iraqian dudes that had a lot to say about the US government -talked with a woman who was walking her pet bunny, and got her number!  - had a bunch of friends at church actually! Our friend that we met on the street two weeks ago came again, and brought her daughter with her! #slay -called a random dude in our records, and reached him EXACTLY when he had sat down to smoke a bunch of cigarettes. He said he felt really alone in his life, and thanked us for calling him. He said that because we called, he knows that God is aware of him.  PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT! God is aware of every one of his children. Including you. In the words of Ammon: "Yea, and [God] looketh down upon all the children of men; and he knows all ...
