The blessed jalapeño

Tjena!

This week was great!

We got TWO MEMBER referrals and it turns out one of them met with the missionaries over twenty years ago and loves our church!! She said that the members of our church "are love." Super cute.

We also:

- went to a birthday party for a less active member and they served us papusas!! That was my first papusa experience. #shoutouttobeth

- played innebandy at the church with some cool people

- had a lesson about the nature of God with our friend *Mont. It was awesome. Everyone go read Alma 42.

- accidentally cried in a Willy's grocery store

- met a really nice old Swedish guy on the street, and answered his questions about us and our church for about 30 minutes. And his wife was adorable, too.

- received a lasagna

- spoke in sacrament meeting on Sunday! #nice

On Sunday, I spoke about miracles. Our God is a God of miracles! He's done them before, and he'll do them today.

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

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...

Salt Lake City Swag

Hallå everyone! This past week was pretty awesome. I still have no news of when I'm going to Sweden, but I assume it'll be at the end of this transfer. So three more weeks! (Probably.) One of many miracles: Last Tuesday, me and Sister Hendrix were going to go bother a less active family that lives in an apartment complex nearby. We knocked, but they weren't home/didn't answer the door. A couple doors down the hall though, there was a little boy standing outside and staring at us. So I walked over to him, and asked if his parents were home. He stared at me in fear for a couple of seconds, but then disappeared into the room--sending his mom to the door. She invited us inside, and expressed how she felt like her faith has been lacking lately, and she doesn't know what she's doing in her life. We shared a little bit about the plan of Salvation with her, and she told us that the past couple days she had been praying for God to send her a sign that he knows her...
