A Blessed Testimony Meeting

Tjena!

This week was great! We had a lot of lessons, and went on Splits.

But one of the bestest things to ever happen was that THREE of our friends came to church on Sunday. Getting our friends to church has been a challenge for us, but they CAME! And they really, really liked it. Our members gave amazing testimonies focused on Jesus Christ, and the spirit was strong.

And I had the opportunity to bear my testimony in Swedish for the last time. Kinda sad!

We also had a BUNCH of lessons with members this week, and it was a huge win.

Plus:

- One of our favorite members gave us some surprise burrito tacos that were a little sus lol

- our area borders Norway, and we went to the Norwegian border on pday today! #rebels

I know that Christ lives!

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...

Finding Week

Hey everyone! This week we did a lot of finding. Which essentially means that we went out on the streets, and talked to many, many people. Good and interesting! We talked to: - an old woman who said that she's always wondered what the meaning of life is, and has never gotten a good answer. We had good news! - A young girl who excitedly asked us what we were doing, and told us that she believes in Christ! - An orthodox Christian who told us that we are going to hell for what we believe. Oof. - A man who said he's never grown up in religion, but thinks its interesting to talk about. - A man from Latvia who said he's been to heaven and there's no God there. Very confusing. - A cute girl on the tunnelbana who was very excited to take a Book of Mormon! She said she had just started going to church a couple weeks ago. And I also met a lot of people who said that knowing there is a God would change absolutely nothing for them in their lives. Which really surprise...
