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.

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 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...
