April 27th, 2015 | LIVET ÄR FINT

Well this week was great!
on Tuesday to Wednesday night we were on Gotland doing splits with the elders there. It was lots of fun and the people there seemed nicer than last time probably due to the weather which has been amazing!
It was great to be able to see some of the same investigators as last time I was there and one of them has made quite some progress and is now preparing for baptism. It is such a pleasure to be able to see testimonies grow so much.
This week I also had a cool experience. Last Sunday I got to go on splits with Elder Barnes and during it we contacted a man named Juan from Bolivia. we taught him a short street lesson and gave him a Book of Mormon as well as getting his number. On Saturday I got to be there on a lesson to his whole family and yesterday (Sunday) his daughter came to church, and he and his wife would have come but they had already planned on buying a car and so the time conflicted.
The lesson with them was so nice! They are so prepared and even have a nephew who is a Mormon missionary in Mexico!
Other than that this week was great, I wish I could share all my experiences but I will just tell you in person later.
LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!

April 13th, 2015 | Temple Flowers and great weather!!!

Well this week the weather has been AMAZING! Due to the weather being good this week we were invited along with about 15 other missionaries to plant flowers at the temple this past tuesday... 6812 flowers to be exact haha, it took a while. It was sooo much fun! It felt good to help make the temple grounds look better, and when we were done it looked great!
 Kind of a cool experience this week was when I was on splits with Äldste Treat, we were walking around street contacting when we suddenly ran into Mustafa, our investigator, we were near the library and ended up being able to go and teach him a lesson on prayer! he is working on quitting snus and is down to one packet a day, and he took it out when we were with him. We were hoping that he would come to church but he couldn't make it. We are hopeful though.
Things are going great! I can't believe that I only have four weeks left! Time flies when your having fun I guess!
Again, I am super bad about taking pictures so forgive the lack thereof however we did run to this really cool church and that morning was really foggy.

And I thought this was a pretty cool doormat haha

April 6th, 2015 | General Conference!!!!!

Well this week just flew by! It was super good though.
I think my favorite part of this week was general conference, I liked the priesthood session especially. Because of the time change I was not able to watch all of it, but all that I got to see was great!
This week we also got to go to this Awesome Easter party at a members house. It was so much fun! earlier in the week we had helped them move an old piano which was also fun. During the party they let us hide easter eggs, although in Sweden you just get one big one instead of a bunch of little ones so we all hid each other's easter eggs around their apartment and then we got to go look for them... mine was behind some books.
We also got to meet with Mustafa this week, we taught him the word of wisdom and now we are working with him to quit snus. fun fun. We are also working on the word of wisdom with our Investigator Lotta, she is working on quitting smoking, right now she smokes about a pack a day and has been smoking since she was 11, she's in her 70's. She started smoking on her balcony as soon as she met with us and she is worried about quitting and it's going to be really really hard so please pray for her. Mustafa also needs prayers. We calculated with him how much money he could have if he had saved it instead of buying snus every day and it was a little over 60,000 dollars! he was blown back by that.
We still run every day which is so nice. The weather has been weird this week even snowing a few times and hailing, but it never seems to snow or hail when we run. There was even one time, I think it was thursday when we did our run and as we finnished the first flakes began to fall and then it went crazy! I'm glad to know that somebody is watching out for us. haha
Anyway, I tried to take more pictures this week per request but I'm so bad at remembering, I will try to do better this week though.
This is just a weird pole thing in our area. I don't really know what it's for... anyway.

emailing right now
