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.

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...

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...
