Week 70 - There Snow Place Like Stockholm

Week 70 - There Snow Place Like Stockholm

We got dumped on this week. We've now got knee deep snow covering roofs, trees, and bus stops. It's beautiful. After it got done snowing yesterday, the temperature started dropping like crazy. It ended up going from about 32° to hitting it's low last night of 3°. That's the thing with winter in Sweden. When you get snow, it doesn't melt. You've got it pretty much until spring. We're looking at a very cold, bright winter morning now here in Stockholm with more snow forecasted for the week. We've been tackling each other in the snow, having snow ball fights, building snow forts. It kinda feels like we live on a ski resort. Makes me want to ski. In fact, we couldn't get to church yesterday because all the busses were canceled and our van was snowed in, so our mission president came and picked us up for church. There weren't that many people in church because lots of people were snowed in, but it seemed like all the Americans in our ward made without a problem. I guess having a bulky car pays off every now and again.

We taught a British guy this week we've been working with. He's cool. He showed us an igloo he and his kids made. It was legit! He's open and read in the Book of Mormon since last time so that was awesome! He's a really nice guy. 

Things have been chill now that mission tour is over. Thinking about it now, I don't think I've mentioned mission tour yet. We had mission tour and Elder De Feyo came and presided. It was a great learning experience and also a lot of work for us. We ordered flights, trains, hotels... You name it. Every one in the mission gathered within three days. Now that everyone is back in their areas and transfers aren't for a couple weeks, things are very chill for us. We've been getting out and teaching and it's felt super good. And things are really moving forward! 

Well that's been my week! Hope you all have a good one :)

We went to a butterfly house today. They had different sections. One was a rainforest, one was like a tropical feel, and one was an aquarium (no butterflies, just sharks and jelly fish). It was a nice break from the snow. It was warm and humid and there was a bunch of animals and fish and plants. It was cool.
