I Am In Sweden... (NOT CLICKBAIT)

Hej hej mina vänner!

To answer the question that is on everyone's minds, yes... I did try pickeled herring AND IT IS SO YUM! I had no expectation of loving it, but on a little charcuterie board it's the shining star.

You know how you look at a group of people, and you can immediately tell you're going to be friends? The sisters here gave us chocolate when we met them, it really was love at first sight. My trainer is Syster Newitt, she is one of the most uplifting people I have ever met. We eat the same foods, have the same style, and both love to be busy. It's a match made in heaven :)

I am currently living in Gubbängen, Sweden, which is near Stockholm. It's absolutely beautiful here. The trees are just starting starting to change colors, and there is water EVERYWHERE! It's a dream come true!

Speaking of dreams (smooth transition, I know), funny story. You know how in a missionary movie a greenie would get into the field, not speak the language, and be asked to talk the next day?? Yeah, apparently my life is a classic church film about missionary work, lol. I obviously don't speak much Swedish yet, but I prayed and prayed and immediately knew what story to share and what to talk about. I could feel the lord strengthening me, He knew I could do it.

I have eaten so much good food that I don't even miss chick fil a ;) I am so so thankful to be here. I feel so much love God's children and am so excited to get sharing his love with everyone.

"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved." (John 3:17)

What a wonderful feeling it is to know that Jesus Christ came to save us, and he is here to help us every step of the way.

Miracles are real, God is real. The church is true and the book is blue ;)

Jag är så tacksam för er! Jag vet att Gud älskar alla, och vi kan be till Gud att känner det.

I love you all, have a fantastic week!

Med kärlek,

Syster Helquist
