Roses and Singing

Hejsan!

Another amazing week.

Some things:

- We met with a woman who has been really hard to meet with, and asked her if she had any questions for us. Her only question was "How do I become a member of your church?"

- Had a free concert with the infamous Herrey Brothers who won Eurovision a while back.

- Helped a young couple move, and then ate the best burger of my life afterwards.

- Went to a baptism, and had our friend Wanda* come along! She loved it, and is very excited for her baptism next week.

*Side note: The woman who got baptized almost hit her head on the railing on the way into the water--and everyone gasped. And she's incredibly light-hearted and funny about the whole thing. She keeps cracking jokes about it.

- It was mors dag yesterday here in Sweden, and so all of the women got roses in church and there was tårta afterwards. #score

We got transfer news, and both me and Syster Prendergast will be staying here in Gubbängen--which we are very happy about! Yay!

Wanda* keeps nonchalantly bearing her testimony about the Book of Mormon, and saying that it has all the answers.

I simply must echo her insight--and say that I've found the exact same thing.

Have the best week !

mors dag roses!

I made us miss our stop on the tunnelbana not once, but twice, so we had to walk home. Nice!

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...

I'm 20 now

Hej everyone! Thank you so much for all of the birthday wishes. Very much appreciated. This week was pretty eventful, actually! Some good stuff: - had Splits on my birthday, where I got to teach one of the best lessons of my mission. I don't know if I've ever seen a person more genuinely touched by the Plan that God has for us. It was awesome. - the sisters we stayed with threw a little party for me when we got back to the apartment that night, which was very cute of them. - I also gave out a Book of Mormon on my birthday, which was sweet! #bestgift - had another lesson with a woman from Ukraine who is really sweet and even reads the BOM on her own! - ate a lot of naturgodis. - met a guy on the tunnelbana who's mom was a witch, and we're meeting with him this week! - ate waffles at Pablo's house yesterday. Some not so good: - Had to block a creepy guy on Facebook. - had to live-translate our testimony meeting to English, which I am SO terrible at doin...

The blessed jalapeño

Tjena! This week was great! We got TWO MEMBER referrals and it turns out one of them met with the missionaries over twenty years ago and loves our church!! She said that the members of our church "are love." Super cute. We also: - went to a birthday party for a less active member and they served us papusas!! That was my first papusa experience. #shoutouttobeth - played innebandy at the church with some cool people - had a lesson about the nature of God with our friend *Mont. It was awesome. Everyone go read Alma 42. - accidentally cried in a Willy's grocery store - met a really nice old Swedish guy on the street, and answered his questions about us and our church for about 30 minutes. And his wife was adorable, too. - received a lasagna - spoke in sacrament meeting on Sunday! #nice On Sunday, I spoke about miracles. Our God is a God of miracles! He's done them before, and he'll do them today. Have a fantastical week. Sys Naatjes snow! ...
