Hejjjjj  We had a wild week, it felt like a total of 2 hours haha. Time makes no sense.  You know what else makes no sense?  Promptings.  Here's a list of promptings I got this week. Story time  1) go talk to the fisherman  -> had a good convo. Had a thought to give them a book of Mormon but unfortunately we had none left with us, went back later and made besties with the polish fisherman who let us hold their fish and said we can come back next week to fish with them and give them copies of the book of mormon in Polish.  2) go meet your living relatives -> had their address but they have no idea I exist haha. So we showed up and he lives in a retirement home and they couldn't let me in or leave a message, so I left with some tears but then they yelled for us to come back and said they could go knock with me... they didn't answer haha. But it was so nice of them to try, meant a lot.  3) sit there  -> met the nicest girl who exci...

Tjena hej!  Stormen Otto came this week and let me just say - I've never felt so much wind before! We were walking to the bus and literally getting pushed back by the wind. Trees fell, windows shattered, and the work went on :)  -- We had a great week!  On Tuesday we were delivering a copy of the Book of Mormon to someone, and after that it was lunch time. Seeing that it was valentines day we decided to get some fallafel rullar  As we look on Google I see this women walking down the street holding her baby and had the quietest but clearest impression to ask her.  So she walked us to her favorite place, then we invited her to eat with us, she gladly accepted!  She explained she's been trying to decide a name for her 7-week old baby and asked our opinion - the first name she said was RUE which is my dad's nickname for me and she thought that was a funny "coincidence".  We talked about God, and service, and she realized how she's missing that right now. W...

HEJ HEJ HEJ!!  What a week of ups and downs :)  Sickness hit us like a truck this week, but the work doesn't stop! We biked and taught all that we could and got home every night completely wiped. It worked out okay until we got home Saturday night at 9:30 and realized we couldn't go to bed because we had to speak the next day in church  BUT  As always, among the trials are the miracles!!  On Tuesday this week we went to a small town, Anderslöv to meet some people we got in contact with a few weeks ago.  It unfortunately did not go well (rip in the chat).  And after that we met this lady who let us pet her dog but the dog did NOT want to be pet and it freaked out and got out of its coat and leash and the whole situation was as uncomfortable as you can imagine haha.  And then there we were at the train station. Not a soul in sight. So we played some Carrie Underwood (s/o to Sys Bryson) and tried to let everything go that had just happened haha....

Tjena på er  What a great week :)  To start off - I have been trying to find my living relatives ever since I moved to Malmö. The best member ever down here has been helping me a ton, but all of the lines we have checked are either 1) everyone has died, or 2) moved to the USA (To which our dear member says - YOU DUMMIES haha).  BUT THIS WEEK!!! We couldn't find this guy and then on a random page in the Swedish records we saw his name in a corner, turns out we had the wrong birthday! We traced him down and found LIVING RELATIVES that live 3 KILOMETERS FROM US!!  That was crazy, and I am so so thankful :)  --- Other highlights//  - Went bowling last Monday, totally lost :(  - One of our friends had a dream that Jesus came to her and explained that he wasn't the same as God. She was SO happy when she was telling us  - We did a videochat with some missionaries from Thailand and they helped teach our friend, and we couldn't understand a single word, bu...
