An awkward hug or two

 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 handshake, he hugged my whole arm. Very unexpected. 
I also got hugged by an old man in the ward, which was very sweet--but also unexpected. 

The spiritual thought for the week is that Jesus Christ is truly the only way. The only way to lasting peace, purpose, and happiness.

Have a great week!

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!

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!

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 diffe...
