Engaged to a 45 year old

Tjena!

This week I was sort of proposed to by a middle aged African guy!

Syster Prendy tried to explain that we're missionaries and we can't currently get married, and he kept saying that a missionary is the BEST person to marry --because they're so dedicated to God!

Can't argue with that logic.

Anywho, we also had some cool lessons, and had two new friends come to church! Pretty sweet. It was fast and testimony meeting, and I think it's always a good experience for people to see that ANYONE is qualified to go up and talk about their testimony of Christ.

We had another Syster with us for about two days, due to some weird transfer plans, so she got to experience a little taste of Gubbängen with us! We met with some awesome friends, and one of them even decided to fast with us this past Sunday.

Wendy will be baptized this Friday, and we are super excited! We taught her about the Word of Wisdom last week, and she said she drinks a lot of coffee, but had been thinking about quitting anyways, haha! She's the best.

I've been reading in 2 Nephi this past week, and a verse that stuck out to me is 2 Nephi 19:6--

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

I love all of these different names for Jesus Christ. He truly is Wonderful.

Have a good week!

spot the difference

We brought a church folding chair on the bus. We also sprinted with it to catch the bus.😃

Long story short I gave a croissant to a homeless lady and she gave us a flower bouquet.

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...

IT'S HOT

Hej there everyone! This past week, as you might have guessed based on the subject line, was SO HOT. Holy goodness, me. I learned two things from that trial: 1. I don't like the heat. 2. Black bike seats get SCORCHING when they sit out in the sun. Hot enough that you have to bike standing up to spare yourself the pain. Otherwise your caboose will be SUFFERING. I know it's a shocker, but I have yet to hear from Salt Lake about my travel plans to Sweden. (It's actually not a shocker. This is an official petition for them to get it together.) Anywho, last week was honestly a struggle. It was hot, I was tired, and I kid you not when I say that every nonmember lesson we had ended up cancelling on us. Or not answering the door. Or not responding. Additionally, one of the people we had on date for baptism backed out, and doesn't want to meet with us anymore. BUT, the existence of trials does not mean that there are no miracles. To name a few: - I didn't pass out ...

Splits and Street Miracles

Hej alla! I don't have much time, but I thought to write a couple miracles we saw this week. - We gave out not one, but TWO Book of Mormons on the street #swag - Invited a lady we met on the street to come to church this Sunday, AND SHE DID! And she loved it! She said that she'll come back next week and bring her son with her! - We had a member in on one of our lessons, and they bonded SO WELL with our friend. It was awesome. I guess they both really like papagoyas? Very random lol - A random guy called us and said he wants to come to church ? Nice. - I had been really craving American pizza, and had TWO opportunities to eat it in the past couple days. #SCORE Some other random things: - One of our friends is from Egypt, and told us that "All Egyptians love Home Alone." As in, the American Christmas movie. Which made me laugh really hard. - One of our members asked to do a fika after church and told us to invite all of our friends. Then we showed up with ou...
