Week 15! (Ett Kort Budskap)

Tjena :) 

I am alive and well in Västra Frölunda 

I am so TIRED and so HAPPY! I got a blister on my hand from lugging around my bags this week, and I got to eat my 5th julbord! 

Here are some small victories this week:

- Sewed up a dress in the dark 

- Said the closing prayer in Swedish (after walking up to the front for the opening prayer because of ~ language barriers ~ tehe)

- Started learning Norwegian pronunciation for a song 

- Remembered the word Guapa in Spanish so I could compliment someone's baby 

- Drank a smoothie even though my hands were icicles 

- Learned some words about fish in Swedish 

- Said goodbye to Syster Newitt and only teared up a little 

- Told someone on the bus that her hair was beautiful?? 

- SAW THE SUN AFTER 1 WEEK WOOT

- Somehow fit all my crap in my suitcases 

- Bore my testimony in a way I never had before, totally led by the spirit 

- Watched our dear friend S be a missionary and invite one of her dear friends to our lesson. (He is now meeting with the missionaries!) 

I could go on and on, but I just wanted to say that God notices our efforts, no matter how big or small. 

He notices when you read that one verse, or when you try to be a little kinder. 

And he LOVES any effort we give him.

This Christmas, let your love for the Savior motivate you to be 1% better. 

God Jul från Sverige. 

Jag verkligen vet att Gud älskar dig och han skickade oss sitt barn för att trösta oss, hjälpa oss, och rädda oss.
