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! Quick scripture: 1 Peter 5:6-7 "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you...

One week left?!?

 Tjena! What a crazy time. I love our ward, I love our friends, and I love the snow that we're getting.  This past week we didn't have as many lessons, but the lessons we DID have were golden. 1) We're teaching a Swedish girl about our age and invited a member along. Turns out they work at the same place! It was awesome, they got along great.  2) We had a lesson with our friend *Mont, and talked about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He said that he would love to be baptized, but just needs to grow his faith a little more. His biggest problem is that our doctrine sounds "too perfect to be true." We love him!  3) We had a lesson with our friend *Mitch, and taught him about the Gospel of Jesus Christ as well!! At the end we asked him if he'd be interested in baptism, and he said absolutely. He then picked January 14th!! #miracle  PLUS-- *Mont and his wife even came to our ward Christmas party, and the ward loved them. It was awesome.  I'll be coming home next Mon...

Vill du bli döpt?

  Hej everybody! Sorry I didn't get the chance to email last week, but on the bright side, SO MUCH has happened since you last heard from me that this email is about to be loaded.  First things first, MY SWEDISH DISTRICT CAME LAST WEDNESDAY! I had been doing classes with them online: --And it was super fun, but being with them in person is FAR better... (Shout out to  Äldste Vander Linden, who brought us all sun tanning glasses so that our mission photos, going forward, can be that much more epic).  We started learning Swedish, too, which has definitely been a challenge. BUT, we are very determined to get it down, and we have already done not one, but TWO english fasts (we went without speaking english for 8 hours). We did our first one on Saturday, which went horribly--but then did another one yesterday, and we could already see SO MUCH improvement in our Swedish. It's hard to believe that one day, maybe, hopefully, possibly, I will be completely fluent.  ...
