Elevator Fiesta

 Tjena!


What a crazy week. I moved to Jakobsberg!

Some very noteworthy events:
- Had a party to celebrate one of our members getting baptized 4 years ago, and then 8 of us got in the elevator afterwards. The bad news is that the elevator was only built to hold 5 people, and we got stuck in there for 45 minutes. NICE.
- Our ward mission leader Pablo brought us mangoes on my last day at church in Gubbängen. He knows how much I love them. 
- Played volleyboll with my new ward. 
- Went and visited someone in a mental hospital and she asked us to sing for her. So we did. And she cried. 
- Went and got burgers from Bastard Burgers with the bishop and his wife in Gubbängen before moving. #freefood
- Got asked to speak in the middle of sacrament meeting here in Jakobsberg, so I did!  #missionarylife 
- Went and knocked some doors, and it did not go entirely well. #LOL

My new area has a car! First time I've ever had a car on my mission. Kinda exciting. Kinda different. 

Spiritual thought for the week, ft. Paul:
Romans 1:16 reads-- 
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."

I just want everyone to know that I have this same sentiment. I have confidence in the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know there is power in it, and that it's the way to purpose and peace in this life. 

Have a great week.
Syster Naatjes

All of us packed into a five person elevator. (Before it got stuck.)

Addel, the legend

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...

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...
