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 !

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...

The blessed jalapeño

Tjena! This week was great! We got TWO MEMBER referrals and it turns out one of them met with the missionaries over twenty years ago and loves our church!! She said that the members of our church "are love." Super cute. We also: - went to a birthday party for a less active member and they served us papusas!! That was my first papusa experience. #shoutouttobeth - played innebandy at the church with some cool people - had a lesson about the nature of God with our friend *Mont. It was awesome. Everyone go read Alma 42. - accidentally cried in a Willy's grocery store - met a really nice old Swedish guy on the street, and answered his questions about us and our church for about 30 minutes. And his wife was adorable, too. - received a lasagna - spoke in sacrament meeting on Sunday! #nice On Sunday, I spoke about miracles. Our God is a God of miracles! He's done them before, and he'll do them today. Have a fantastical week. Sys Naatjes snow! ...

A Busy Sunday

Hello everyone! We're going to hop straight in. This week we: -Gave out more Books of Mormon on the street and by knocking doors. Always fun. - Finally met with a really cute family that had been difficult to meet with! - Met with one of Syster Kearns' distant relatives who lives right outside of Lund! They got in contact with one another through ancestry and were able to meet and talk Swedish together! It was actually really cool. Syster Kearns got to explain that it was because of our religion that their common ancestors fled to the US, and is also now the reason why she's back here in Sweden. #fullcircle - Got kicked out of a Svenska Kyrka by a svenska kyrka priest who asked us to take off our name tags. Classy. - Met a man who had no idea that his wife of 35 years is a member of our church and listened to him explain his deep, complicated, philosophical ideas. - Got rejected many times on the street. -Had FIVE PEOPLE come to church yesterday! It was IN...
