We've had some beautiful, sunny weather here in Stockholm. Last year this time there was snow on the ground. Now it's been hanging out around the mid to high 60's with lots of sunshine. Man it feels good.
It's
been an eventful week with ups and downs. Leo is doing good. He's got a
lot of faith and he's learning at a really fast pace. I'm really
impressed with him.
We
swung by to visit an American family that moved in recently yesterday and it was a
good time. We had a message about baptism since their son is getting
ready to be baptized. Super nice family. We helped them burn some dead
stuff.
Easter was fun.
I'm always really impressed with how the Swedes can take a holiday and
make it into a week long vacation. Easter is a big deal here. They start
out with fun pastries on fat Tuesday right before lent, they get the
whole week off leading up to Easter and good Friday, Easter eve, Easter,
and the second day of Easter are all national holidays which means most
businesses are closed and public transportation goes significantly less
often. We ate a nice Easter dinner with the office couple we work with
the Bailey's. Super fun. Got some nice American cooking
A scripture I liked this week was
2
Nephi 7:1 (Isaiah 50:1). I love how makes it clear that if we seem to
be abandoned by God, it's not because he doesn't care, and it's not
because he doesn't have the power to. He never breaks his covenents with
us. It's only us that do that. But he's always willing to help us
repent and he has what we need.
Hope you all have a great week!
Easter pics and our p-day adventure of hiking to a lake and having a
campfire/picnic. Pretty fun! That thing I'm eating is some dough I roasted with butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Tasty.
