Week 55!

Tjena hej! 

This was a week to never forget, full speed all day everyday. 

To start off, it's cold now and that means 1 thing: spiders in the house. 

I threw my shoe at one to try and kill it but I missed its body and instead got its leg... so then the 7 legged spider hobbled into our shoes and neither of us wanted to pick up the leg in the middle of our hallway, so we avoided it like the plague. 

And then the next day we say the same type of spider crawl UNDER OUR OVEN. terrifying. 

ANYWAYS: some short items

- our friend said she wants to get baptized! When I first came here I put in an email thay a part-member family here would come to sportkväll in Gubbängen, now look at us! She's so happy too, so good. 

- finished zone conferences in Stockholm South and Stockholm. Not sure who cut the onion but there was not a dry eye in the room during our last one. Tender. 

- Syster Staker is leaving Syster Daines is coming. Transfers truly are bitter sweet. 

- among our wonderful friends at church 2 chrisitans from russia walked in and said they would like to start attending church? Word up.

- gave a presentation at a stake leadership meeting... made the presentation on the way to the meeting, said so many prayers, the leaders asked us for the presentation so that they can use it. Grace. 

- was asked to play the piano at the same meeting, was 3 minutes late (whoops), and instead we "had a song in our hearts" hahaha I didn't complain. 

- Watched the dad of the family we're teaching jump up and dance with joy after saying his first prayer (the kids were SO embarassed), such a pure moment of joy. 

- Helped our friend Olivia move! She had questions about Isaiah 13 and guess what the lesson was on this sunday..Sunday... Isiah 13. Amazing. 

- I got out of playing the piano once, but then on Sunday no pianist came to church. So at 11 they asked me to play and we had to figure out the numbers and it took a second to translate then and stuff... so our meeting started at 11:05 instead. While taking the sacrament a few minutes after I watch a inactive member we stayed working with walk in just in time to get the bread. Such a warm peace filled me.

So I wrote a ton a small miracles and random details. I read the following verses that inspired that:

3 Nephi 20:6-7//

Now, there had no bread, neither wine, brought by the disciples, neither by the multitude; but he truly gave unto them bread to eat, and also wine to drink.

I have read the story of Jesus administering the sacrament a million times, I never caught the miracle that he just provided the bread and wine. I think there's a lot like that in my life that I miss. I wanted to take an opportunity to recognize it. 

Kram!
