Week 32

Glad påsk 

This week was a straight grind all day everyday !! So many little miracles and laughs !! 

I think it's important to let you all know that I bought silly bands on Monday just because I can. Thank you. 

Went on a walk with this guy we've been trying to meet for 3 months, and even the weather pulled up. It was SO good! Lowkey taught the concepts in all of the lessons, he had so many questions and good thoughts about everything... and I was just sitting there thinking "I'm walking around the sea in Stockholm telling this guys how God loves us in Swedish..." life flies by! 

Met with one of out sweet friends and after the lesson she said "it always feels so better after we talk about this stuff, I feel so calm and peaceful now." #proof that the spirit is here testifying :) 

Met with another sweet friend who we've been teaching for about a month and she said she doesn't feel lost anymore. #Bevis. 

We had a guy who wanted to get a book of Mormon so we met him at ~8 am~. He shows up with the biggest smile and the warmest spirit and says how he played basketball with the missionaries in Argentina and he wants to become a member now. We told him where the church is and he said "oh wait I've been there before!" Literally so cool I'm pumped. Ready to show him my duktig bball skills 

Got a call at 7:05 am from the elders on Sunday saying that our mission leader was expecting us to make a lasagna for Easter??? And the only thing we had was half a bag of cheese and the desire to eat lasagna... so we ate potatoes and pork instead rip. 

I'm really thankful to be here in Sweden. The experiences I have had this week have shown me more and more the proof that God is working next to me, and that the gospel blesses everyone at every stage of life. I'm thankful for those confirmations I received 

Gud finns!!
