The Troll's Bonnet

 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 gonna have to look up Smörgåstårta for yourselves. Truly terrifying. 

Other notes:
- Me and Syster Jaques celebrated her birthday on Friday, and went to a little food truck called fett gott. (Fat good). It was fat good. 
- We ate a bunch of fika.
- I packed my dumbbells, which made my suitcases a little heavy.
- We had stake conference, and I heard some of the craziest and awesome talks ever. 

I got to share Ether 12:27 with a couple people this past week, and it has such a powerful message. 
"And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."

I know this is true. With Christ's grace, our weaknesses can become strong.

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 !  Syster Naatjes    Syster Jaques and I in the city hot chocolate and walnuts  the trio (eyes closed) Fika wi...

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! Quick scripture: 1 Peter 5:6-7 "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you...

IT'S HOT

  Hej there everyone! This past week, as you might have guessed based on the subject line, was SO HOT. Holy goodness, me.  I learned two things from that trial: 1. I don't like the heat. 2. Black bike seats get SCORCHING when they sit out in the sun. Hot enough that you have to bike standing up to spare yourself the pain. Otherwise your caboose will be SUFFERING. I know it's a shocker, but I have yet to hear from Salt Lake about my travel plans to Sweden. (It's actually not a shocker. This is an official petition for them to get it together.)  Anywho, last week was honestly a struggle. It was hot, I was tired, and I kid you not when I say that every nonmember lesson we had ended up cancelling on us. Or not answering the door. Or not responding. Additionally, one of the people we had on date for baptism backed out, and doesn't want to meet with us anymore.  BUT, the existence of trials does not mean that there are no miracles.  To name a few: - I didn't pass out ...
