Cross Jewlery ftw

Another week down!

This week was kind of a blurr.

There was one day where we were running from appointment to appointment and had no time for lunch. So we ended up taking a long dinner and buying a pizza. It was awesome. It was a tryffel pizza. I liked it.

We were able to find a lot of new people to teach, and it's crazy to think about how we can be so perfectly placed to meet the exact right people at the exact right time.

Earlier in the week, we hopped on a tunnelbana to talk to people, and met a woman who is from Ukraine. We noticed her because she had HUGE bejeweled cross earrings, and got her number! We were then able to teach her about Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon with a member who translated it into Russian. Super cool.

We also taught a boy that Syster Bagley and I met in the mall two weeks ago--because we had noticed his cross necklace! #christianmoment

Other notable events:

- We met with David, who got baptized several weeks ago, and he was very upset that people sometimes call us "Mormons." He kept saying, "It's not Mormon's church, its Christ's church! Mormon is the book!" #youtell'em

- We had some students visit the church to see what a worship service looks like, and it happened to be a Sunday where the organist was absent. So one of the other missionaries struggled to play the piano while we sang every hymn VERY slowly. Haha. But we met with them afterwards and got to answer their questions, which was fun.

- Made chocolate banana bread.

- A lot of people guessed that I'm from Ukraine?

- Our sink broke.

God is real. Christ lives. Have a good week!

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!

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...

Salt Lake City Swag

Hallå everyone! This past week was pretty awesome. I still have no news of when I'm going to Sweden, but I assume it'll be at the end of this transfer. So three more weeks! (Probably.) One of many miracles: Last Tuesday, me and Sister Hendrix were going to go bother a less active family that lives in an apartment complex nearby. We knocked, but they weren't home/didn't answer the door. A couple doors down the hall though, there was a little boy standing outside and staring at us. So I walked over to him, and asked if his parents were home. He stared at me in fear for a couple of seconds, but then disappeared into the room--sending his mom to the door. She invited us inside, and expressed how she felt like her faith has been lacking lately, and she doesn't know what she's doing in her life. We shared a little bit about the plan of Salvation with her, and she told us that the past couple days she had been praying for God to send her a sign that he knows her...
