A series of inconveniences

Hej everyone!

This week was good. We met with quite a few friends, and had some good lessons. Tried to, anyways.😂

Inconvenience #1: We met our friend *Steven at his house--which should have been totally fine, except for that his mom was in the same room and decided that she needed to take a hammer to a bag of salt to "make the salt pieces smaller" during our lesson. It was unbelievably loud, and we essentially had to yell in order to invite him to be baptized. Oops.

Inconvenience #2: We met our friend *Helen in public, at a little fika spot called Wayne's Coffee in order to have a lesson with her. Which again, SHOULD have been fine--except that a deranged man (in an almost empty restaurant) sat RIGHT next to our table and kept creepily staring at us and derailing our conversation with random questions about where we're from. Dang.

Inconvenience #3: We were having a lesson with our friend *Mark at the park, and a giant wedding celebration began right next to us with dancing and loud music and everything. Lol. Can't catch a break😂

But among the silly inconveniences, there is still a lot of miracles to be noted.

-We went street finding on Thursday, and gave a Book of Mormon out to a really cool guy who wants to read it and come to church!

-Our bishop asked to be in on a lesson with our friend this week! We're really excited for it.

- We did really well with our English fast.

- We had a really spirit-filled lesson with an atheist guy, and he said he'd try to pray for the first time.

-Lost a game of chess against elder Soukko.

Yay!

Have a good week.

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...

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 ...
