Week 43

Tjena mina vänner!! 

What a week!! Full of tears, willys bags, and miracles! 

I said goodbye to Gubbängen on Thursday! It was strange it didn't really feel like I was leaving, until I started praying before we left. I felt a sudden surge of emotion as I prayed to bless the area and our friends, and my heart really hurt as we left. But I know it's in good hands. I'm gonna miss that place! 

Thankfully, I'm only about 30 minutes away now! In an area with a car, I drove for the first time in 9 months... their roundabouts here have 2 lanes going around so the cars braid together as they turn if that makes sense? Pure chaos!! 

Anyways: 

Pulled into a gas station, started talking to Kofi (Coffee). Super nice. So excited that we were from the states, he's from Chicago! Turns out he's read part of the Book of Mormon before, and when I asked him what he thought, he said without hesitating "That it was true, it was the Word of God. I just moved here, I need someone to help me get to church." 

Amazing. 

So many other things happened this week, showing me God's hand. But I'll keep this week shorter! 

Short highlights:

- made a lasagna 

- ate banana bread ice cream??? (Fire)

- accidently woke up at 3 am to the sun blazing outside??? How does that work 

- Piked a wildflower boquet

- got stopped by a Street photographer 

- Started teaching someone I met at a Halloween party on my first day here in Sweden (God's real). 

Älskar er!
