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!

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...

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...

Everything Cancelled

Tjena! Everything cancelled this week. Oops. That's alright. Literally everyone is sick it feels like! Whatcha gonna do. 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! Quick scripture: 1 Peter 5:6-7 "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you...
