A Thursday Night Dop

 Hej alla!

This past week was a little bit crazy, but it was great! Our friend Frida was supposed to get baptized on Saturday, but then asked if we could move it to Thursday! So we did!

It was really great. A lot of members came to support her, and it was very sweet. Unfortunately, she was supposed to get confirmed on Sunday and then felt really sick that morning and couldn't come to church... it'll have to be next Sunday, then! (Though I won't be there to see it...) 

We also:
- helped our friend move apartments, and met a friend of his who personally knows Bob Marley, Muhammad Ali, and several other famous people. He then played his harmonica for us. Very cool.
- we also met his other friend who was also there help him move, and we gave him a Book of Mormon! 
- Had some good lessons with great friends 
- Had a lesson with a girl who admitted that she's actually trying to convert us into being pentecostal...

And we also got transfer news--
I'll be moving to a different part of Stockholm called Jakobsberg. 

So I have quite a few goodbyes to say! But I know I'll be exactly where the Lord needs me. 

Have a good week everyone!

    Good Morning (Hihanni Was'te dakota) your mission is so wonderful and I am blessed every time I read about your journey. I had fresh magos when deployed to ElSalvador. Mangos here have never been the same or as good. God's blessings and love radiant from you sister Naatjes.

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 grillfest of strangers

  Hej alla!  This week was busy, and fun, and good. We had a lot of lessons, we had a game night, we had a volleyball activity, and we had a 50 minute lesson on the street with a guy named *Matt who stopped us and asked us if we were Mormons, and then took us on a walk.  We also: - got a call from a member in our ward who asked us to pick her up after she got in a crazy car accident  - got invited to a grillfest by a person we had never met, and met a bunch of very interesting people there. We were able to talk about the gospel quite a bit, and gave out our card. We even scored half a free Korv!  - invited someone to be baptized. She said no. #tyvärr  - Had a really deep lesson with our friend *Mark about the temple and about making covenants with God.  - had yet ANOTHER person tell me that I look like an elf  - had a lesson in a burger joint and ate the worst nachos ever  Spiritual thought for the week is from Mosiah 4: "9 Believe in God; be...
