Week 66 - Back to the Ol' Grind Stone

Week 66 - Back to the Ol' Grind Stone

Man it's felt good to get back to work. With the holidays winding down, we can just get out there and work now. You get kinda antsy just sitting still as a missionary. Or at least we sure have. So it's been refreshing this week to get back in the swing of things.

We have a game night every Wednesday to have a consistent activity we can invite younger people to, especially for first contact with the church. We have a member here studying at the university who is awesome. She has invited a friend to come to it for like ten weeks straight even though no one came. But this week all that changed! She had just left to come to game night when she thought she should invite her classmate she was just with. But then she thought there's no point, she probably won't come. But then she didn't let that attitude get the best of her and she did it anyways. And then her friend wanted to come! We ended up with half of the people there not being members of the church. It was awesome! 

We went hiking today for p-day and it was really fun. Something I've been grateful about with serving in Sweden is that there's always a nature reserve within reach when you just need to get out in nature.

New Years was awesome here. They know how to party with the fireworks here. They lit them off all around our apartment complex. All we had to do was open the window and we could watch people lighting aerial fireworks off like 50 feet away. It was so fun. 

Well that's the news this week. 
Have a great one!

My mom asked for more pictures of me so enjoy my face and the forest :) I like the one where the trees change from like purple to orange. I thought that looked super cool. (The last one)
