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.

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...
