Sports and Music

 Tjena! 


Summer has officially come here in Sweden, and we've got the fan absolutely BLASTING every night. Sweden is the worst for not believing in air conditioning. 

This week we had a lot of events, including:
- our Monday night språk café 
- basketball in the church on Wednesday
- Football in the church on Thursday evening 
- Our last zone conference with President and Syster Davis before they go home! 
- The Musikafton on Sunday evening, which is a stake event that we had to plan

We also met with David, who got baptized about two months ago, for the last time before he goes back to Peru! He has such a strong testimony, and we're excited for him to be able to go to the temple there! 

On Friday, we hopped on the tunnelbana to talk to people, and I got distracted talking to a man that I met about the meaning of life. We stayed on the train until we were quite a bit outside of our area, and then realized after he got off the train that it was the last station. And we were the only people left. 
We were stuck on the train for about 10 minutes in the middle of nowhere, and there were no workers or people in sight. The things you do for a good conversation, haha!

This week, as a mission, we focused a lot on faith in Jesus Christ. What it is, how we grow it--and what we would do if we had more faith. 
In Alma 32:21 it states:
"And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true." 

Our faith doesn't have to be big to make a difference. But we should do all we can to nourish it and give it the potential to grow!

Have a good week.

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...

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!

Fest after Fest

  Tjena!  This week was full of parties. We had a ward grillfest, AND our new member Katarina had her birthday party. Both were good. And both were scheduled at the same time on the same day. So we hopped back and forth!  We also: -met a group of old Iraqian dudes that had a lot to say about the US government -talked with a woman who was walking her pet bunny, and got her number!  - had a bunch of friends at church actually! Our friend that we met on the street two weeks ago came again, and brought her daughter with her! #slay -called a random dude in our records, and reached him EXACTLY when he had sat down to smoke a bunch of cigarettes. He said he felt really alone in his life, and thanked us for calling him. He said that because we called, he knows that God is aware of him.  PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT! God is aware of every one of his children. Including you. In the words of Ammon: "Yea, and [God] looketh down upon all the children of men; and he knows all ...
