One year in Sweden

  Hej alla!  Hit a benchmark this week, and have officially been in Sweden for a year! It's a weird feeling. Feels like I have no excuse if I don't understand what someone is saying. Lol.  This week: - we met a nonmember guy on the street whose mom was member of the church a long time ago! Super cool and random miracle. - had zone conference, and gave a presentation. And got free food!  - Sang a musical number with the elders for the musikafton #wentalright BUT our friend who we've taught for a while CAME! And it was super awesome. She loved it. - we wrote a haiku every night  Looking SUPER forward to general conference this weekend where we get to listen to our living prophet and his apostles!!! Yay.  Syster Naatjes   Pday last week Pday last week Pday last week Two gals doing the work Pday today

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 honestđź’€ - 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 Ă–rebro sisters! Quick scripture: 1 Peter 5:6-7 "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you...

The 10 miracles

  HEJ ALLA This week was awesome. We found 10 new people to teach! Which is more than I've ever found in one week. It was the best. And I'm EXHAUSTED.  We: - started teaching *Anna's son! - had the Uppsala sisters on Splits.  - had Syster Meredith on Splits!  - ate in a sketchy pizza place, and just happened to be sitting right next to a guy who was planning to come to our Bible study! #wow! Then the owner gave us free suckers.  - laughed so hard I almost shed a tear because a guy tried to impersonate a frog and it looked nothing like a frog. - met a lot of people on the street.  Missions are cool. Love you all. I don't have much time. Syster Naatjes ft Sys Meredith gamla stan pt. 456 frozen peas ft Sys Duke Retro diner moment pizza joint

RIP dude on the street

  Hejsan!  This week was good. We did quite a bit of finding, and also had Splits with the sisters that work right in in the center of Stockholm!  We: - ate fika with a member who told us the craziest story I've ever heard ft. murder and fraud  - met a young guy on the street, and got his contact information! But when we reached out two days later, we got a message back saying that the guy we were trying to reach has passed away. We thought it was a joke at first, but it turns out it wasn't. #RIP  - went to a cute little castle for a lesson with a slightly crazy guy  - had a really good lesson with our friend *Mary - had MLC on Tuesday, which was actually really fun!  Here's a scripture that I read this morning and loved: Alma 26:37 "Now my brethren, we see that God is mindful of every people, whatsoever land they may be in; yea, he numbereth his people, and his bowels of mercy are over all the earth. Now this is my joy, and my great thanksgiving; yea,...
