Alingsås and a tent

Hej!

We had a lot of ~events~ this week!

-We had a small ward activity at the home of a member and played a trivia game and ate some dinner together.

- went on exchanges in Alingsås with Syster Arnett, which was fun! We had four great lessons on the street and even got to share two scriptures out of the Book of Mormon

--> bonus: the four of us also ate an entire banana bread before going to bed

- had in-person distrikt council here in Trollhättan, which was fun

- did service for our favorite member, Christel

- had a great lesson about the Plan of Salvation and prophets

- I don't know how to explain this exactly, but we went to a youth activity where we were running around in the dark and I collided with a 17 year old and collapsed to the floor. I also collided with the bishop. Very nice.

- met a random Bosnian guy who showed up at church!! #miracles

I don't have much time, but hope all is well!

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...

High highs and low lows

Hejsan! Vilken vecka asså! It feels like SO many things happened. For better or for worse, haha! A Monday night miracle: We went out to talk to people at 7 pm--when it's cold and dark--and ran into one of the most prepared people I've ever met on my mission. His name is *Mitch, and we caught him right after he left the gym. We asked him what gives him hope, and he didn't know. So he returned the question, and Syster Rollins explained that our hope comes from our faith in God and Jesus Christ. He immediately lit up, and we told him about why we were in Sweden and some details about our church. He was very interested, and we met with him on Saturday! The best lesson ever: We gave him a tour around the church, which he loved, and then taught him about the Restoration. He had awesome questions! By the end of the lesson, he said that: 1) God gives us the gift of discernment so that we can know what comes from Jesus Christ, and what doesn't. An...

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...
