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...

High highs and low lows

  Hejsan!  Vilken vecka asså!  It feels like SO many things happened. For better or for worse, haha!  A Monday night miracle:  We went out to talk to people at 7 pm--when it's cold and dark--and ran into one of the most prepared people I've ever met on my mission. His name is *Mitch, and we caught him right after he left the gym.  We asked him what gives him hope, and he didn't know. So he returned the question, and Syster Rollins explained that our hope comes from our faith in God and Jesus Christ.  He immediately lit up, and we told him about why we were in Sweden and some details about our church. He was very interested, and we met with him on Saturday!  The best lesson ever: We gave him a tour around the church, which he loved, and then taught him about the Restoration. He had awesome questions! By the end of the lesson, he said that: 1) God gives us the gift of discernment so that we can know what comes from Jesus Christ, and what doesn't. An...

Finding Week

  Hey everyone!  This week we did a lot of finding. Which essentially means that we went out on the streets, and talked to many, many people. Good and interesting! We talked to: - an old woman who said that she's always wondered what the meaning of life is, and has never gotten a good answer. We had good news! - A young girl who excitedly asked us what we were doing, and told us that she believes in Christ!  - An orthodox Christian who told us that we are going to hell for what we believe. Oof.  - A man who said he's never grown up in religion, but thinks its interesting to talk about. - A man from Latvia who said he's been to heaven and there's no God there. Very confusing.  - A cute girl on the tunnelbana who was very excited to take a Book of Mormon! She said she had just started going to church a couple weeks ago. And I also met a lot of people who said that knowing there is a God would change absolutely nothing for them in their lives. Which really surprise...
