Innebandy and Miracles

Hejsan!

This week was good. We had some miracles, and got to visit a bunch of members that are hard to get in contact with.

We had some good lessons:

- Went through the Word of Wisdom with our friend *Pete and he took it really well.

- Read in Alma 32 with *Mont AND had an awesome member (who just barely moved into the ward) tag along. They both have backgrounds with the Islam faith, so it was really powerful to have our member from Turkey testify about our church and the beautiful doctrines we have.

Also:

- knocked on a door, and the lady who opened it screamed.

- went on the street and had a Swedish guy ask me if he could "take up his argument against god" to me. I said yes, and we had a great conversation.

- had our first sports activity, and played innebandy and badminton. Truly not the most popular sports in my head, but they're pretty big here in Sweden so those were the requests.

- skipped church because Sys Rollins wasn't feeling well. Was a strange feeling not to be there !

I have 6 weeks left now, and it feels weird!!

Have a good week.

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...

A Busy Sunday

Hello everyone! We're going to hop straight in. This week we: -Gave out more Books of Mormon on the street and by knocking doors. Always fun. - Finally met with a really cute family that had been difficult to meet with! - Met with one of Syster Kearns' distant relatives who lives right outside of Lund! They got in contact with one another through ancestry and were able to meet and talk Swedish together! It was actually really cool. Syster Kearns got to explain that it was because of our religion that their common ancestors fled to the US, and is also now the reason why she's back here in Sweden. #fullcircle - Got kicked out of a Svenska Kyrka by a svenska kyrka priest who asked us to take off our name tags. Classy. - Met a man who had no idea that his wife of 35 years is a member of our church and listened to him explain his deep, complicated, philosophical ideas. - Got rejected many times on the street. -Had FIVE PEOPLE come to church yesterday! It was IN...

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...
