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.

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...

IT'S HOT

  Hej there everyone! This past week, as you might have guessed based on the subject line, was SO HOT. Holy goodness, me.  I learned two things from that trial: 1. I don't like the heat. 2. Black bike seats get SCORCHING when they sit out in the sun. Hot enough that you have to bike standing up to spare yourself the pain. Otherwise your caboose will be SUFFERING. I know it's a shocker, but I have yet to hear from Salt Lake about my travel plans to Sweden. (It's actually not a shocker. This is an official petition for them to get it together.)  Anywho, last week was honestly a struggle. It was hot, I was tired, and I kid you not when I say that every nonmember lesson we had ended up cancelling on us. Or not answering the door. Or not responding. Additionally, one of the people we had on date for baptism backed out, and doesn't want to meet with us anymore.  BUT, the existence of trials does not mean that there are no miracles.  To name a few: - I didn't pass out ...

Splits and Street Miracles

  Hej alla! I don't have much time, but I thought to write a couple miracles we saw this week. - We gave out not one, but TWO Book of Mormons on the street #swag - Invited a lady we met on the street to come to church this Sunday, AND SHE DID! And she loved it! She said that she'll come back next week and bring her son with her!  - We had a member in on one of our lessons, and they bonded SO WELL with our friend. It was awesome. I guess they both really like papagoyas? Very random lol - A random guy called us and said he wants to come to church ? Nice.  - I had been really craving American pizza, and had TWO opportunities to eat it in the past couple days. #SCORE  Some other random things: - One of our friends is from Egypt, and told us that "All Egyptians love Home Alone." As in, the American Christmas movie. Which made me laugh really hard.  - One of our members asked to do a fika after church and told us to invite all of our friends. Then we showed up with ou...
