Hej Hej

Tjena!  The title of this email is not to say that this past week has been especially amazing, or that anything particularly life-changing happened--though there are definitely miracles every day! It's more because of the fact that we were quite literally followed by a camera for two whole days this past week... Long story short, Syster Jacques and I met a guy in Stockholm who was quite interested in our missionary work, and he wanted to make a short documentary about us as missionaries in the most secular country in the world. So this past week, he and his crew came to do some filming with us!🙃 Pros: - got to meet some cool camera crew men - they bought us lunch two days in a row #schnitzel #freefood - when awkward things would happen on the street, we had a crew to look to and laugh with #feltliketheoffice - they had great questions  Cons: - it was awkward to have a camera pointed at me - it was exhausting  - I have now been recorded while speaking in Swedish which I N...

 Tjena !  What a time to be alive.  At the beginning of last week we had two AWESOME lessons. Some of my favorite lessons of my mission. - we talked about the Plan of Salvation with our friend *Carlos, who talks at the speed of light, and he was very impressed with a lot of the concepts that we have. Great feeling.  - had a lesson with a man named *Mont that we met on the street, and he is SO prepared for the gospel. He's pumped to read the Book of Mormon, and said that when he met us on the street that day he went home with a huge smile on his face.  Otherwise, we did quite a bit of finding... - met a guy who already had a Book of Mormon because he inherited it from his dad when he passed. He wasn't interested in meeting though. #dang  - met a group of French engineers  - had multiple people say that they've never once thought about what gives them hope in life.  We also went and visited some less active members, and when I went in for a handshak...

Hejsan!  I don't have much time, but I will make a quick bullet list of some things that happened this week: - a guy we met on the street came to church!  - that same guy gave us the Book of Mormon back  #dang - we met some wonderful families - a member gave us a whole pie - ate a fika with our star member Rune and our friend *Petra  - a guy on the street asked me if I have multiple wives, and then asked me for a kiss  #nothanks  - spoke in church about the power of the Book of Mormon! Or rather, talked about how we can feel Christ's power through the Book of Mormon. We live and we learn and we experience every day.  Some experiences are good, and some are bad. But one thing is certain--all experience is "for our good".  Have a good week!  Syster Naatjes  Uddevalla! partaj a dang windy day Haga in Göteborg  haga pt 2

  HEJSAN!  What an awesome and eventful week I've had. Bittersweet. Exciting. New.  We spent a big portion of last week saying goodbye to all of the wonderful people I met in Jakobsberg. And it was great. It's crazy how quickly we can form meaningful relationships. I have a lot of people I'll miss.  And then, on Saturday, we had a giant meeting with all the new missionaries that arrived so that they could get matched up with their trainers. Both me and Syster Jaques are training this transfer, so we were both there. And it was exciting!  I got my new companion, Syster Rollins, and she's straight from the MTC! I've trained a couple times, but both of them were reassigned missionaries that had a little bit of experience beforehand. So this is new for me!  We then commenced our 6 hours of travel to get to Trollhättan--where a pair of cute members surprised us at the station! One of them gave us Smörgåstårta, which I've avoided my whole mission. You guys are go...

  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...
