Week 19

Hejsan!!

I am back in Gubbängen 

Sitting on the train on my way to Stockholm watching the sunrise >>>

We don't get holidays as missionaries, but that 3 hours sure felt like one. 

My new comp sister Chandler is amazing ! she likes to run ! she is a spiritual giant ! 

We went over to our friend Susanne's house last night... I was so happy to see her again! It's crazy how close I feel to the people I have met here... God's love really brings us together <3

I realized at Susanne's how crazy it is that I'm here. I met her for the first time when I had been here for 3 days. And now, at my 19 week mark, I was in the same place, but she is not the same person. 

The truthfulness of the restored gospel has completely changed her life! You can see it in her countenance! In her home! In her habits! How lucky am I to continue to watch her come closer to Jesus Christ :) 

To celebrate our last day together Syster Osguthorpe and I bought some garlic bread to enjoy. Unfortunately my sensitive fingers could not handle the weight and extreme heat of the pan... the bread dropped. We cried as we hit the bread back and forth until it got on the sheet (too hot to touch). 30 seconds later we were eating the bread like nothing had happened. It doesn't sound that funny but let me tell you... it was. 

I love you all! Thank you for your kind words and support :)
