Okay where do I start?
If you're a skimmer,
-first paragraph is reflective and spiritual,
-the second is sweet,
-the third one is funny.
There's also pictures if you're like me and not really into reading.
The
area is looking really pretty good here. Transfer calls came and went
and all four missionaries in my area are staying. So it's round two!
It's looking like Elder Fortuna and I might see a baptism together if
one of our friends keeps progressing like he is. It's really a miracle
to see someone's faith grow. You look at how far they've come and you
know it's a miracle. It's an incredible transformation when someone
keeps commitments and starts to repent. You start to see a light in
them. They start to see it in themselves and they get this hope that
they didn't have before. It's really amazing to see.
We
helped out our landlord in his garden the other day. He's super nice
and we had a great conversation. He told us the secrets of living in
Sweden. Apparently there's home delivery grocery shopping here that
doesn't have any extra fees. What is that for awesomeness? Anyways he
asked if we missed any American food. Elder Fortuna mentioned rootbeer.
He said he knew a place we could get it and told us about it. That night
when we got home, we had a bag with two cans of rootbeer hanging on our
door handle. Pretty much melted our hearts.
Funny
story for the week. (with permission from my companion) So I've picked
up the hobby of geography. One of the missionaries here Elder Martineau
is really into geography and we always quiz each other. My project for
the week was Africa. We meet a lot of people from Africa and I figured
at least knowing where their home country is would help them feel like I
understood them a little better. Anyways, my companion thought it was
kinda dorky but he was nice about it and would quiz me on them. Then we
met this guy who says he's from Tunisia and he point blank asks my
companion, "Do you know where that is?" He has to say "Uh.. No..." Then
he asks me and I get a big grin on my face. "Yeah its between Algeria
and Lybia on the Mediterranean sea." He's not done there though. Then he
straight up asks if we even knew how many countries are in Africa. I
was like "Um yes actually." Haha talk about good timing. He then
lectured my companion the rest of the ride for not knowing geography... I
may or may not have dabbed. I'll let you guys decide.
Looking
forward to another great transfer in Sunny Stockholm! The weather is
beautiful and trees are all blossoming. It's awesome.
Love you all,

Everyone keeps telling me I should be a dentist. I'm starting to see why
