Week 44

Hej på er !! 

I learned a lesson about NOT PRANKING this week: 

We parked next to a set of elders car at a train station and thought "let's tie ribbon to the handles that would #funny." So we did that. So funny. 

AND THEN right as we're leaving this man walks up to his decorated van AND WE SCREAMED it was not the elders van. Rip us, but it was funny!! 

My first full week here was awesome and full of so many unique experiences :)

We had a day this week where 4 lessons canceled, yet God filled up every minute of that day with someone who needed us, and at the end while we drove on a windy country road we saw a man walking on a beautiful path. So like any normal 19 year old, I steered the car into the ditch, parked, then sprinted after this man. 

At the end of our conversation he said "I know that God sent you." Tender. 

One more thing - 

In Gubbängen we would do sport nights every week and this random family would come and it was always so fun to see them! Then yesterday they showed up to church, and my companion said "that's the part member family we're working with." And I already have good relationships with them, God knew :')

Other highlights:

- Did splits with the Gubbängen / Västra Frölunda sisters 

- drank mint chocolate milk??? 

- a bakery man made fresh donuts for us 

- meetings upon meetings 

- HIT 10 MONTHS 

- while doing street contacting talked to this guy who gave us 2 plants, so nice. 

- serenaded a cow 

- Had to wear sweaters this week it was genuinely cold 

Love you all xoxo!!
