Week 45

Hejsan ! 

I could write actual SERMONS about this past week. Maybe someday I will 

Random notes:

- 2 sets of splits with the Malmö and Norrland Sisters. Literally so much fun! 

- First zone conference in Norrland on Saturday !!

- Asked a worker for a sticker and left with 50 (#stocks).

- had an ice cream party at the same time a sister from urkaine tried to come by to get contact with the church, so we were able to help her!! 

- Saw a pigeon with a broken wing and was absolutely traumatized. 

- Went on a walk in the forest and picked blueberries and Smultron (tiny strawberries)

- Said a prayer, knocked on a door, had a 1 hour lesson :')

- i told a member once 6 MONTHS AGO that I liked cheesecake and she made one for us yesterday because she remembered 

- Played uno on the floor of a train with the elders (classy) 

- listened to a couple argue on a train for 30 minutes and then they started talking up chipped beef... please tell me your thoughts on that

- Felt like we should take a random family cookies while we were on splits, knock on the door, the 12 year old comes out and says "Hey I wanna get baptized now." And everyone was crying so cool :)))

And now.... MIRACLE TIME (as if there weren't enough in bullet proof section tehe)

We flew to Umeå on Saturday for Zonkonferens! We were lucky enough to sit by a guy, and he really THOUGHT he would sleep on this 7 am flight haha. But after a little bit of small talk we asked him if he was religious - and with a half-smile he explained that he was Christian, but that he had taken off his cross necklace the day before. 

GUYS. 

The day before. 

We got off that plane and he asked us for a copy of the Book of Mormon, having a new understanding of what faith means and how God loves us. God was aware of this man's faith, and he sent us on this plane during the 11th hour. 

I am hear to testify unceasingly that God lives and loves us, that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, and that the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth. What happy news :) 

Love you all <3
