Well, this is it, my last letter I will be writing home. :) I can't believe it has actually come. The feelings felt can not be described just nu. Ahhh! Almost about the same feeling leaving home. Excited, scared, sad, happy! So many mixed emotions. This has been the greatest thing I have ever done. I am so grateful for the gospel, this mission, the people who have changed my life here, and most especially my Savior Jesus Christ. I am grateful for the time I got to give for His sake. :) God is good.<br />
<br />
My family will be coming to Sweden this Thursday and we will be travelling around for a few weeks so that will be a blast! Excited to show them around my swedish homes for the last year and a half. :) I can't believe I am actually going to see them again. Doesn't feel real.<br />
<br />
Anyways, this week was a good one because it was Påsk (Easter)! Some sweet members invited us over to their beautiful house and we painted easter eggs and had a little easter lunch. :) We have been showing everyone the Prince of Peace video and talking about how the Resurrection gives us hope, comfort, and peace. Easter is the best.<br />
<br />
We had a lot of syster vistors stay with us this week too! There was train the trainers, and this self-reliance class put on for us missionaries going home. It was weird at first to be hearing about all the things we have to worry about when we go home...lol. School, majors, career, job, payments, housing, social life, and many more. It was a little overwhelming at first but good to be getting an idea of life back home haha instead of cold turkey trying to figuring out these things på en gång. Gotta say I'm going to miss not having to worry that stuff, but it will also be good to come back to it as well. It feels time. Made me really want to soak in these last missionary days though.<br />
<br />
Later in the week on Påskafton me and Syster Gill went to Näsbypark to swing by this lady. Oh my goodness it was beautiful! We couldn't get over the nice weather and the water view and the birds churping and just the happy feeling of spring! Det här landet är såå otroligt vackert. :) It was a great day to start påsk.<br />
<br />
The next day on easter we woke up and it snowed lol. So much for our spring vibes haha. We made the most of it though and walked to church and just had a wonderful time at church with everyone. Us missionaries and many others did musical numbers and then we had a big fika afterwards! It was a great day. :)<br />
<br />
Sad to be saying goodbye to all the people I have met here. I can not even express how much I love you all. It's not goodbye forever though. :) I will be back very soon.<br />
<br />
<br />
Jag vill avsluta med mitt vitnesbörd att jag vet det här är Herrens verk. Denna är hans kyrka. Jag vet det eftersom jag har känt det. Jag har känt friden och glädjen som kommer från det. Kristus är vår frälsare. Om du följa honom kan du också känna det storsta lycka som finns. Jag är en vittne om det. Om du läsa Mormons Bok kommer du att känna sanningen som står där inne. Det vittnar om Kristus och hur vi kan hitta ljuset tack vare honom. Jag är så tacksam för människorna som har offrat så mycket för oss att ha evangeliet idag. Jag är tacksam för att jag kunde vara en missionär här för ett kort stund och delar med mig något som har gjort mig så glad. Gud är så god. Jag älskar honom. Jag ska står för hans namn tills dagen jag dör. :) Jag älskar er och önskar er ett underbart liv fullt av glädje och ljus. <br />
<br />
Tack för att ni finns och tack för att ni lyssnade. :) Ha det så bra och vi ses. :)<br />
<br />
Med Kärlek,<br />
Syster Davis<br />

This week was yet another eventful one! We had a fun P-day at the Mall of Scandinavia! We went to the Disney store and Lego store and just explored around.<br />
<br />
We had the Umeå and Luleå systers stay with us this week as well because we had zone conference! Two syster Halls, Syster Eriksson, and Syster Hunter. ;) It was fun to be with them. We got to the Gubbängen chapel and had a big conference combined with Norrland zone. Sad that is was my last conference ever. So many feels. Cute that it was at the same building I had my first one two decembers ago...where does the time go.<br />
<br />
The Beckstrands gave a great training on Fånga Dagen! Aka Carpe Diem aka Seize the Day! It was a wonderful training about how we should make everyday count and do our best everyday. The assistants did a section as well on how it's important to share our story, testimony and why WE believe. I think it's been a great theme lately in the mission. Really searching deep in our hearts for our testimony and our personal conversions. I love it! We had a delicious lunch, and a played a fun little game with the Beckstrands. Me, Syster Hall, Syster Haikola, Äldste Pärkää, ad Äldste Christley gave our farewell testimonies since we will be going home in a week...Ahh! It is weird it is actually coming to a close.<br />
<br />
After conference we went on splits with the Jakobsberg Systers! I went with Syster Wilson to Jakobsberg! My home! So fun getting to visit that place again. :) Fun getting to be with Syster Wilson too. We talked about how great it was to finally get to go on splits together and how weird it was that we were going home so soon. Craazy.<br />
<br />
We went contacting with this new member as well! We found this cute puppy on the way too and though it was so funny that a pillar on light was shining right on its head in the picture lol. It's name was Gucci. ;)<br />
<br />
We swtiched back and then went on splits again with the Västerhaninge systers! I went with Syster Hale in Västerhaninge. :) Okay I love Syster Hale sooo much. We both have a Studio Ghibli obsession so all day we were just singing the songs together and quoting all our favorite lines while we were talking to the great people of Västerhaninge and showing the new easter church video. ;) We swungby some sweet people and had a dinner from this cute temple couple! Such a great day.<br />
<br />
Me and Syster Gill finally reunited and it felt good being back home in Täby again. :) We got a scary call though saying there has been a terrorist attack in Stockholm on Drottningsgatan. A crazy man drove a truck into a crowd of people and then ran. So scary. President asked all us missionaries to stay home for the rest of the night and stay safe. So sad and stockholm was in our prayers.<br />
<br />
A few days later we got to stand outside of the Book of Mormon Musical and pass out real Books of Mormons to everyone that saw it. ;) Everyone was kinda laughing at us and making fun of us but we just laughed with them and told them if they liked the musical they should read the read book, it's a lot better. ;) So many people took books and said they would. lol So great!<br />
<br />
Sunday was great too. So many investigators came so that is always fun. It was testimony meeting and everyone was talking about the crazy accident in Stockholm and sharing how grateful they are for the comfort the gospel brings, especially during scary times.<br />
<br />
It was a great week. I can not believe I only have one left...So many mixed feelings. I am excited and sad at the same time. Gonna make these last 10 days be the best. Love you all. See you very soon. :)<br />

This is going to be a short one this week. We had a fun P-Day with some missonaries on a little boat ride around stockholm. It was such a sunny day and a teaser for the summer. We got icecream and just enjoyed the sun.<br />
<br />
The next day we had splits with the Hägersten systers! I was with my old comp Syster Christoffersen. :) It was fun being together again for the day.<br />
<br />
The next day me and Syster Gill drove far out to the boonies to visit some members! They live so far that they love when we get the oppertunity to come visit them. One of them said she hasn't had contact with anyone from the church in decades! She was happy we came to see her. :) We thought maybe she may of forgetten that people came to visit her because she kept telling us the same things over and over...and over and maybe thought she had memory loss. hehe She was cute.<br />
<br />
We had distict meeting. That was fun.<br />
<br />
We then had splits again and I stayed with Syster Nelson in Stockholm! I love Syster Nelson! She is so sweet and we had a lot of good conversations. :) And we met some great people and taught some spiritual lessons.<br />
<br />
To end the busy week we had Generla Conference woohoo!! A missonaries favorite weekend! ;) Oh my goodness it was great. So much spiritual knowledge gained from it. Loved getting to watch it live a few times. :) Such a blessing to have these amazing leaders who guide the Lord's church. I am grateful for the strong spirit I got to feel listening to them this entire weekend. So much spiritual food this weekend! Pablo invited us over to watch it at his house on Sunday and afterwards we went on the roof and saw the beautiful sunset! Great end to a busy week.<br />
<br />
God is good! Love you all. Till next time!<br />

Spring has sprung! Wow, this week was so busy and full of sunshine. We had a blast with Suzie and Pontus this last P-day. They took us sightseeing and we went up this huge tower and saw all of Stockholm. We got some korv and icecream together for lunch and they were giving us all the updates on all our old missionary friends and their love lives lol.<br />
<br />
We had a full week of meetings and conferences this week! We had MLC on tuesday and the cute Malmö systers stayed with us for the night. Syster McClatchie and Syster Hansen, love them. We arrived to the mission home and had a yummy lunch made by Syster Beckstrand. We had a great meeting home about the new easter initiative! Woot woot! We got a sneakpeak of it. The theme is 'The Prince of Peace.' It's a video of how the Savior is there for us to give us peace in our lives if we follow Him. Super great film. It was a very spiritual day. :) Me and Syster Gill went home without our jackets and scarves because the weather was sooo nice! Hallelujah! <br />
<br />
We did some service this week and helped our friend Sofie move into her new beauty salon. We cleaned some of the machines and windows and just had a nice time together. She is so sweet. Weather was great yet again. ;)<br />
<br />
The next day we had zone training in Gubbängen! We met there early with the Uppsala STLs and the zone leaders and went through our presentation. Me and Syster Gill had the 'Introducing the Easter Initiative' section. :) We talked about trials and how it was the Savior who gave us peace during those times. We really wanted everyone to think about in what ways the Savior was their source of peace during their personal trials. It was a wonderful meeting and the ZLs taught more and got everyone pumped for the new video! Great great day.<br />
<br />
The next day we got to go to the temple with sweet Jasmine. :) She got baptized about a year ago and was so excited to be able to do some of her grandma and grandpas work. :) I can't tell you how powerful it was to see her get baptized for her grandma who passed. The spirit was so strong. Some of the Göteborg YSA was there too so it was fun seeing them again. Felix was there and the one who baptized Jasmine last year so she was excited that he could help with her grandparents sealing as well. So precious, and such a nice day! :)<br />
<br />
The next day we had a full white day planned which actually was kinda refreshing due to all the running around we've been doing the past couple of days. The weather was sunny and breezy so we spent the entire day outside talking to everyone who crossed our path. ;) It was so rejuvenating. Everyone was so happy to talk to us.😊 Thank you solen!!<br />
<br />
Sunday was just beautiful as well. It happened to be my last normal sunday as a missionary (since we have general conference, fast meeting, and easter program!) so they had me give my goodbye testimony now haha! Was so not ready for that lol. Crazy how the time is slowly winding down. Cute Veronica came as well (the lady we just invited on the street to come to church with us one day, and now she comes every Sunday!) We love her.<br />
<br />
Well, det var en underbar vecka denna vecka. :) Jag kan inte uttrycka hur tacksam jag är! Jag älskar mitt liv. Jag älskar evangeliet. Jag älskar friden som kommer från det! Det är så riktigt. Det är så stark. Kristus lever. Och det gör mig lite ledsen att min tid som missionär är nästan färdig men så måste jag njuta varje dag jag har kvar. Hoppas ni har haft en härlig vecka. :) Ha det gott! Till next week.<br />
<br />
Med kärlek,<br />

I love syster Gill. :)Hejsan. :) Det är helt otroligt hur fort veckan har gått! It started with a fun P-day with our good ol assisstant friends! We went to Vaxholm but sadly it was closed so made our way back to Stockholm and met up with some other syster friends.<br />
<br />
The next day we got to go greenie contakting! :) We got to meet the three new missionaries who just arrived. We all got some Vapianos and got to know them. Me and Syster May got to take the two systers out talking to people for their first time ever! (Syster DeMourdant and Syster Hall) sweetest girls ever. :) One of them was destined to be my granddaughter because Syster Matwaychuk will be training one of them!! So exciting! :) <br />
<br />
Transfer Day came and syster May got all her stuff packed up and we headed to Tcentral! Crazy how fast this transfer went. Told syster May see her in a few weeks. ;) Love that girl and she is going to love Örebro! I waited with the stockholm systers for a few hours and then my new comp syster Gill came!! Woohoo! I have always dreamed of being with syster Gill and it seriously has been soo fun with her. :) Both our trainees are training so both me and syster Gill are grandmas now woot woot! :) We got to see them at the station and take a family picture together. So great. They are doubling into Lund! What an adventure. Love them.<br />
<br />
It has been the absolut best showing syster Gill around Täby. :) we already laugh so much together and have had so much going on these past few days it's been crazy! We had distrkt meeting with our new distrikt so that was fun. We had so many members invite us over this week so that was a blast. The members here are the BEST! One of them sewed a dress and gave it syster Gill. :) Life is good here. Time is going too quick.<br />
<br />
Me and Syster Gill taught sunday school and hjälpföreningen so that was fun!<br />
<br />
Any who, So much more happened but I don't have too much more time here. Hope to give more details next week. ;) Att vara en missionär är den bästa saken som finns! Jag älskar evangeliet och välsignelserna som kommer från det. God is good!<br />
<br />
Med kärlek,<br />
Syster Davis<br />

<br />
This week was a very bipolar one with the weather. We woke up to a pretty normal pretty Monday. We headed down to Stockholm for P-Day with the Jakobsberg systers and went to classic Gamla Stan and me, Syster May, and Syster Wilson all bought the same pair of shoes on sale. woot woot. ;) We went out to the Stockholm lookout point and just had a nice girls day together. Later in the evening we went to swingby a member to give her choklad but she wasn't home so we just tracted instead.<br />
<br />
The next day we woke up and there was snow everywhere! We thought spring was on it's way but yeah right lol. We trudged in the snow and went kontakting a lot but no one really wanted to talk.Typical. Me and Syster May just had fun walking around in the snow making it a good time trying to make people happy.<br />
<br />
We met with a lot of postive people this week as well so that was a plus! It's nice having people to teach. :)<br />
<br />
Later in the week, me and Syster May bought a poster and made a 'Jag är Guds lilla barn' (I am a child of God) song poster for Marimba, Suzanna, and Angela! :) We went over and showed it to them and they were so excited! We colored it together and gave them CTR rings and took pictures and sang together. It was a fun night with them.😊<br />
<br />
We had a our last district meeting for the transfer this week as well! Det var kul. Still blows my mind how quick these transfers go. We all went around and showed pictures of our family and gave a little background of our life. Always one of my favorite things, to see everyones families and hear their backstories. Great meeting, and then we had a nice lunch at Pizza Hut lol.<br />
<br />
We got to go to the temple this week with Emiliano too so that was a blast! We did baptisms the same time as Norrland so I saw a few friends from Sundsvall! So great. :) We then visited Syster May's släkt again and they made us waffles and we talked about our beliefs with them so that was cool. <br />
<br />
Täby ward threw a surprise party for Jereme at the bishops house so that was fun too! We had soup and dessert and Jereme promised he would make us fufu some day. ;) It was a great night. We were happy we could celebrate for him! We had a snowball fight afterwards haha.<br />
<br />
Church was good too! We invited everyone we ran into on the way to come with us if they wanted to. This lady with her little nephew was like, 'Why not!' and she came with us. :) So great!<br />
<br />
All in all it was another good week! Me and Syster May celebrated our 500 day mark together this week! Ojdå. We can't even grasp how it has been 500 days. Only 40 left now..So weird! Timeisaflying!<br />
<br />
OH ALSO! We got transfer calls and Syster May will be moving to ÖREBRO! We had a feeling she was going there for her last transfer. :) I told her all about it and how wonderful it is. She is going to love it! I am going to miss her though. I will be staying in Täby woohoo!! Finally staying in an area for once. ;) I will be getting Syster Amy Gill!!😆 I am so excited. I have always wanted to be companions with Syster Gill. So weird she'll be my last companion. I know it's gonna be so good and I can not wait for what these next 5 weeks have in store.) Till next week! Hejdå!<br />
<br />

We had a fun week this week because it was Mission Tour. :) So excited we got to have another one! President Kearon came to visit.<br />
<br />
To start the week, me and Syster May had a nice relaxing P-Day at home. We bought our usually naturegodis, explored a little Täby-C and chilled at home for a bit. Talked about life and such. 😊 Decided to attempt a diet for the rest of the transfer so we will see how that goes. Later in the evening we went on splits with the Jakobsberg sisters! I went with sweet Syster Shin and Syster May went to Jakobsberg with Syster Wilson!<br />
<br />
It was a good time and fun to be with Syster Shin! We met some nice people and taught some solid lessons together. Her swedish is phenomenal as well! :) We also have a mutual friend! Christin Hickman! Shoutout to Chrisitin. :) I have a picture of a group of my friends from high school and Syster Shin recognized her went we showed eachother our family albums. What a small world!<br />
<br />
We switched back the next day and sweet Pontus and Suzie invited us over for some Salmon and pudding! So yummy. :)<br />
<br />
We visited a lot of sweet members this week and have been helping a lot of them with spring cleaning! Always feels good to help people clean out their houses haha! They always thank us with all this food which has not been a help to me and Syster May's diet lol.<br />
<br />
Finally mission tour came! Norland, Stockholm, Stockholm South, And Södertälje zone met in the Handen chapel. So fun to see so many old friends and companions. :) The special guest was President Kearon who is in the European 70 presidency. He is from Great Britain so he had a fun bristish accent and was just such a nice guy. The things he talked to us about were so inspired. I could feel the spirit so strongly from his talks. Everything just connected to everything going on in this mission. He talked about how the Lord has infinite patience with us, and that we shouldn't be too hard on ourselfs. 'Stop worrying and work hard. The Lord adores you.' It was a wonderful day filled with inspiration.<br />
<br />
The next day we have a Missionary Leader Counsil with everyone too. President Kearon came again and talked to us all and we all went around and shared our thoughts and feelings from Mission Tour. The Malmö and Uppsala systers stayed with us so that was fun. :) <br />
<br />
We taught a lot of new people the rest of the week and then had church in Gubbängen for this northern europe broadcast! Jakobsberg ward was there so it was fun to see so many of them again! They were happy me and Syster May were together. :) After church the Beckstrands invited us over for lunch so that they could give me and Syster May interviews. It was fun being with them and catching up on life. It was a great week!<br />
Things are going well here in Täby. :) Transfers are coming fast! Next week I will be getting a new companion so it will be fun to see who it is. :) Hope you all had a nice week!<br />
<br />

Monday, me and Syster May went down to stockholm for a short stund and walked down drottningsgatan. So many feels for the times I was there during the summer. Loved being there again. :)<br />
<br />
This week we met with Jing and Chi this week too! They made us this yummy fika and we talked about the little things we can do in our life to strengthen our love for God and things to help us endure to the end. Jing said the closing prayer and it was so powerful. Really felt the spirit. <br />
<br />
We met with the cute family history lady of Täby also! She was really excited to help us with our research and I was determined to find some swedish family but sadly I couldn't. Tyvärr. Later, me and Syster May went to sweet Azam's so she could cut our hair. I just got a trim but Syster May chopped all her hair off! Woo. That was exciting.<br />
<br />
Marimba had us over for a little family home evening stund also with little Angela and Suzanna. :) We drew pictures, ate veggies, and played games and me and Syster May shared a little message afterwards. It was so fun. :) Love them so much.<br />
<br />
On Thursday we had distirct meeting and Syster Clouse made us this amazing carrot cake for it. Me and Syster May have been trying to go on diets because we need to prepare but it's just so hard when everyone gives us so much deliciousness... Later we headed down to Västerhaninge to go on splits with Syster Eldrridge and Syster Hale!! :) I was so happy to see my sweet Eldridge again! The last time I saw her was when I was in a tripan with her in Syster Campbell back in Helsingborg. :) I stayed with her in Västerhaninge and Syster Hale went to Täby with Syster May. Me and Syster Eldridge caught up on life and had dinner with these sweet old ladies.<br />
<br />
The next day we tried to meet a few people at the church but they blåsted. We couldn't complain though because we could see the beautiful temple from where we were. :) Loved spending the day with my sweet Eldridge again. ❤<br />
<br />
Saturday the Assistant's investigator Margereta got baptized! :) She is this sweet old swedish lady. It was a beautiful service and she said she felt wonderful. The Clouses took us and the office to Chopchop after. Love our mini Täby family. Syster May and Äldste Hawkins decided to do a no surgar competition for the rest of the transfer. Whoever loses has to give the other 200kr. We'll see what happens lol.<br />
<br />
Sunday a huge miracle happened. Me and Syster May both served in Jakobsberg and used to visit this sweet lady from Thailand named Jai. :) She moved out by Rimbo with her husband Kenneth which is now our area in Täby! We planned to meet her before church but we got lost sunday morning and could not find the bus hållplats due to all this construction. I said a prayer that if we were supposed to meet with them, help us be able to find the right bus. Two seconds after we turn around and the bus we need just pulls up next to us. What the! The Lord blesses us so much haha. We got to visit them, celebrate her birthday, see their cute new yellow house and make it in time for church as well! Great day. :) After church we got to go visit some of Syster May's distant relatives as well! So fun meeting them and they had the cutest little black poodle puppies I had ever seen. One of the daughters was interested in learning more about our beliefs too. :) So cool.<br />
<br />
Such a great week! Full of many fun times and laughs with Syster May. :) On the last stretch. Only 50 more days. So wierd. Time needs to slow down! Till next week.<br />
<br />

Glad Alla Hjärtans dag.Hej hej. This week was pretty good. Monday Pontus and Suzie took us on a little road trip around Täby and Stockholm! They showed us all these cool spots and got us some gelato. :) We got saffron and pepperkaka flavor. Toppen. For dinner we had a little taco party for Äldste Päärkä's birthday at the office so that was fun. We then went trakting and this nice lady from Denmark invited us in and made us some herbal tea.<br />
<br />
This week was Valentines day woohoo! Me and Syster May celebrated with a little Ben and Jerry's for two by candle light haha. It was just weird because I remember last valentines day with Syster Brink in Sundsvall and just talking to all these happy couples in the death cold. Fun times. ;) Seems like yesterday!<br />
<br />
We met with this sweet lady named Mabel. We talked about the gospel of Christ and how we can växa our faith. We met with a lot of other great people this week but sadly I don't have time to write everything!<br />
<br />
We went on splits this week with the sweet Hägersten Systers! I went to Hägersten with Syster Howlett. :) It was a great time and fun to work with her and meet new people. She is seriously the cutest person. She reminds me of a disney princess because she is so sweet and happy and whenever we would talk to people on the street they would always stop and listen because she just has the softest, most loving spirit and you can just feel it when you talk to her. ;) Love her!<br />
<br />
We had a day full of service this week as well! Us and the elders went to go help move all of this furniture out of this house and had a little fika during the job. We then helped this member move around her furniture later in the day. It always feels good serving. :)<br />
<br />
Sunday was amazing too! It was ward conference and so many old faces were there. :) Teng was there! and Lincoln and Spencer (former Äldste Archibald and Hemmingson). Literally so fun to see old missionary friends. :) But yeah it was a wonderful sunday! We had dinner with Pontus and Suzie and they were showing me all these Berlin souvenirers they had. <br />
<br />
Sorry this is a rushed letter but time is going fast! Love you all and see you very soon. :)<br />

On Monday we went to the sweet Marimba's house and baked apple pies together! Marimba is the best. She got baptized last year in August and is the sweetest person you will ever meet. She has the cutest daughters as well. :) They had Min Granne Totoro (My Neigbor Totoro) in their little movie collection and I told them how much I loved Studio Ghibli. They were so cute.<br />
<br />
The next day we had MLC! (Mission Leader Counsil) It was pretty fun. All the zone leaders and stls from all over come and we get ready for zone training. (This is all more missionary lingo I'm sorry haha). Syster Beckstrand made us some sloppy joes and the assistants gave us some more details about the new missionary scheduale. Syster Beckstrand gave a great bit on Accountablity as well and shared a cool story about how they had some of President Beckstrands Grandfather's old journal entries and some miracles that came form them. So cool. :)<br />
<br />
We then took all the information they taught us and planned a whole zone training for the stockholm zone! Well the zone leaders planned most of it but me and Syster May got to do a section on Accountability at the end! That was pretty fun. We talked about the Anti-Nephi-Lehi's and how they wouldn't break their covanent with God because they knew how important it was follow their promise with him. We related it to us as missionaries and how we promised the Lord when we came on a mission to do His will, work hard, and serve others. Sometimes it can be hard but as long as we follow our promises, the Lord will bless us. :) It was a fun zone training. I was a little nervous to teach in front of a whole zone of missionaries but I think it went okay haha.<br />
<br />
We visited this sweet Chinese family this week as well. :) Qi, Jing, and their little son Leo. :) Leo so adorable. JIng has been meeting missionaries for a while now and Qi has been a member for a while. :) We talked about the Restoration and Qi said when just felt it was true when she first heard about it.<br />
<br />
We went on splits with the Stockholm systers this week as well. :) Syster Wagner came to Täby with me and Syster May went to Stockholm. It was such a fun day. :) Syster Wagner is seriosuly so great. We bothed served in Västra Frölunda so bonded on that and talked about how much we love Syster Heaps. ;) We miss her. We met with lots of people too and had a dinner out in Nörrtälje with the Parker Family! We drove out their with the office elders so that was fun! It was a great day and we switched back later in the evening.<br />
<br />
Sunday was wonderful. This guy we met on the street came to church and was really postive so that was fun. :) Me, Syster May, Äldste Päärkä, and Äldste Pack all gave talks at church and we helped with the primary music. :) They were so cute.<br />
<br />
It was a great busy week this week. :) Me and Syster May just love eachother. We can't really fathom how much time we have left. It has been so fun being with my sweet MTC comp again and seeing how much we have both learned and grown since day one. :) Our moms both met eachother at home so that was cute. Ahh life is good! Until next week. :)<br />

Monday I packed up all my belongs and said goodbye to some great people. Me and Syster Heaps had a fun last P-Day together. Seriously gonna miss that girl so much! We've had the best transfer together and I can't believe how fast the time went. Time goes so quick when you're having fun. :) We then had a trevlig middag hos the Angelini's and went to the YSA center FHE with Hasib! It was great to see everyone one last time and Hasib wrote in my book in Bengali so that was legit haha. What a dream this place as been! Missions are the best.<br />
<br />
Tuesday we had another jammed back day of goodbyes! Felix took all us missionaries out for Thai food so that was fun! Our investigator Mehdi then took us out to fika too. :) We talked about the gospel of Jesus Christ and how it's the little things like faith and repentance and sacrament that build us up little by little. He agreed to be baptized. :) What a guy, gonna miss him. We then said goodbye to sweet Marie who was showing us all these pictures of her childhood! Such a treat. Gonna miss Marie and our deep talks with her. She brightens our day with her stories and life advice and her cool cats. ;)<br />
<br />
The day of transfers finally arrived and I got all my stuff and the sweet Watsons drove us to the train station. Syster Watson gave me a little goodiebag with treats and gave me the biggest hug. Love them with all my heart. Said goodbye to Syster Heaps too which was pretty sad. :( That's probably the hardest thing about missions, so many goodbyes all the time. So hard. I hopped on the train to Stockholm! Looking out the window of the train and looking at the beautiful country always makes me emotional haha. Teared up a bit and thought how weird it was that this could be my last long-term train ride as a missionary. So many feels.<br />
<br />
After a long train ride, the Jakobsberg Systers (Syster Wilson and Syster Shin) came and helped me and Syster May with all our lugagge! During all the hussle and bussle this hobo lady literally fell on my when the brake jerked really hard on the train. She ran out the very next stop...hmm sketchy, I looked down and realized the phone was gone out of my pocket..Fyy. :( We got to Täby centrum and had no idea how to get to our apartment and had no phone to call for help so we asked this random guy to borrow his phone and the office elders came to the rescue! :) The guy who let us borrow his phone said he was actually intersted to meet sometime so maybe that was the reason we lost our phone haha! We got settled in and read the cute area report the previous systers wrote for us. Me and Syster May are stoked to be together again. :) We laughed how usually when we get a new comp the first day is usually getting-to-know eachother day and we already knew eachother. ;)<br />
<br />
The first few days were pretty rough without a phone but we explored our new area and talked to lots of people. We had district meeting at the office and it was weird being back in the same district I was 6 months ago! Fun to be back and to meet all these new people. :)<br />
<br />
Church was just wonderful as well. After a long week of travelling, tears, excitement, new horizons, and new people, everything seemed to come together at church. :) Täby ward is darling! Everyone was so welcoming and happy that me and Syster May were here. They welcomed us in and it was fun to even see some old friends I knew from when I served in Jacoksberg. :) 4 people we talked to on the street came to church too so that was fun! Life has been great so far here in the town of Täby. So many great adventures ahead of us and just enjoying these last few months as a missionary. Trying not to think about how little time I have left but always so excited of the thought of seeing and hugging my family again. :) Making every second count då!<br />
<br />
Hope you all have a great week and till next time. :)<br />
<br />
Kram,<br />

On Monday we had a fun dinner with our friend Joey Ocasio! He is a member in Helsingborg and happened to be here for work so we met up and he brought a little package his daughters made for us. So sweet. We got some spanish food which was amazing. He was telling all about his mission in London! So good to catch up and hear about Helsingborg too. Miss that place so much.<br />
<br />
This week was special because we had Specialized zone training! The Jönköping sisters came and stayed the night with us and we got to the church early to help the Watsons make the lunch. <br />
The Beckstrands and the Assistants came down to Frölunda to present to our zone the new 2017 standard of excellence and new mission schedule. There were many big changes! Later in the evening we all watched the missionary world-wide broadcast which talked about how the indicators would be cut down to only 4. We all looked at the Beckstrands because we had this whole training about all the indicators, and now we wouldn't have them haha. We all just chuckled and president Beckstrand held up the key indicator bookmark and said, 'You can all just keep this as a souvenir then! ;)' Haha Kind of excited for all these mission changes. I know all this missionary terminology probably sounds confusing to you all so sorry for that lol.<br />
<br />
The next day we got back to the streets and talked to some peeps. We met with Yunlong later and Mattias came and helped us teach! We pulled out the dop calendar and he agreed to be baptized! So exciting. :) We had a dinner with sweet Rachel later in the evening and she made us this delicious potato casserole! She kept giving us swedish tips and we kept telling her all our favorite swedish words. One of them was, 'typ' (which means 'kind of') and she thought it was funny that we liked that word so much so she kept saying it and then winking at us. ;) She is the best.<br />
<br />
The next day was our friend Marie's birthday so we took her out to lunch! We went to this burrito place called Tomtoms and it was to die for! Soo good. Mette and Tom had us over later that night too and Mette was showing us her maybe soon-to-be artsy knitting business on instagram. She seriously is the cutest thing ever. I told her I'd be ordering some sweaters when I got home. ;) As we were heading home, our phone rang and it was President Beckstrand! Oh no. Haha we had a feeling he would be calling us...He told us some crazy news that I would be moving to Täby next week with the one and only Syster May!! My MTC comp. :) Syster Heaps would be staying in Göteborg and I would be having another 1 transfer area. Crazy crazy!! We were so shocked and not at the same time. Sad to leave Göteborg but so stoked to be with Syster May again. :) It's gonna be great!<br />
<br />
We went to IKEA for brunch with the zone for one last hälsning before we all would transfer and everyone was shocked I was leaving again lol. The Watsons were like, 'What the?! You can't leave already!' Gonna miss them soo much. And everyone! This seriously has been a dream area.<br />
<br />
Sunday was great too, the last one in Göteborg. It was legendary. ;) Said goodbye to many great friends and took some pictures. We went trakting after church and this nice old swedish lady couldn't stop smiling when we told her we were here to teach people about Christ. She said she couldn't believe people our age actually believed still. She said we could happily come back next week. People like that are so worth all the rejection!! :) We then headed to the Andersson family for dinner. Makayla is from Berlin Germany and the dad is from Sweden! They have the cutest little son who they speak, English, German, and Swedish to. So cool he'll be a multilingual kid.<br />
<br />
Anywho, it has been a great transfer and holiday season here in VF. I will never forget the people I have met here and all the fun times we've had together. I love this work and I will go wherever the Lord wants me to go. :) Life is grand and until next week!<br />

Syster Heaps and I did a little arts and crafts and we dyed her hair! I trimmed it and she dyed in dark brown. Looked super cute. :) Later we played some Innebandy at the church for Äldste Nelson's birthday. We had some kladkaka icecream and sang happy birthday to him! We then finished the day with some fun contacting. This drunk guy was the only nice one who wanted to talk to us. Typiskt.<br />
<br />
We met with our favorite Marie this week as well. We helped her take down her christmas decorations and talked about her fun 25 years working for SJ (train company in sweden) She told us it was the best seeing missionaries on transfer day everywhere with all their luggage. <br />
<br />
The next day we had a few lessons but they got blåsted (canceled). So instead we got some swedish tips from the member who was gonna to help us with our lesson! The Watson's were there too and said they have noticed how exhausted we looked and they told us to sit down for a minute and eat some grilled-cheese and soup. ;) They are the best. Seriously they are our mission parents here in Göteborg. :)<br />
<br />
We had a really solid lesson with this week as well with the help of Fabrice again! Our investigator only knew French so Fabrice translated the entire lesson back and forth from us to him, from him to us. It was funny when he got it mixed up at times and started speaking french to us and english to our investigator. ;) We taught about the restoration and the book of mormon and he said he was so excited to read it! Me and Syster Heaps were so happy and high on the spirit, we went home dancing singing this song 'God is Good!' It was a happy day. :)<br />
<br />
We've had a pretty busy filled week this week and meeting a lot of new investigators. We had one last district meeting this transfer also and had a yummy lunch made by the Watsons.<br />
<br />
We met with this sweet young girl from Poland this week too. She is such a sweetheart and said she has met missionaries for years. She wanted us to help her with her english homework and we happily agreed. :) We went in thinking it would be a piece of cake but it was pretty tricky haha. We all kept laughing together at how hard it was and how even us english speakers didn't get it.<br />
<br />
Sunday was just beautiful and much needed. Always. So many great talks and lessons and so much of the spirit felt. :) In relief society we talked about Utchdorfs talk, 'Fourth Floor, Last Door.' Such a good one. Definitely can relate to that one. After church we had a yummy dinner with the sweet Jansson family! Their daughter Hanna just got back from her mission in Greece. She was so sweet and telling us all about her mission and crazy to compare our missions. We talked about how fast time goes as well.<br />
<br />
Anyways, it was a great week. Took some fun pictures and just lovin' life. 'God is good, all of time! All of the time, God is good!' Just a quote form the song me and Syster Heaps love. ;) Hope you all had a good week. Hejdå for now. :)<br />
<br />
Med Kärlek,<br />

This week was exhausting. We had a fun P-Day in the stores of Nordstan and got some carrot muffins. We then went and hit the streets later in the evening and prayed we would find some nice people and found this french guy who only new french but we gave him a card and he said he would come to church.<br />
<br />
We went on splits this week with Syster May and Syster McClatchie as well! Two of my favorites. :) It was so fun getting to be with them again and catch up on life. Me and Syster May were together and we visited this sweet old lady named Sigbrit. We sang some hymns for her and she gave us some chocolate. We had a fun dinner the the Angelini's that night too.<br />
<br />
The next day was the craziest rain wind storm we have ever witnessed. We had basically nothing planned that day so we were determined to go out with our big raincoats and umbrellas and talk to the world! Lol honestly didn't go too well. Our umbrella kept going inside-out and everyone thought we were crazy for trying to talk to people out in the rain. We decided to just tract some houses instead and Syster Heaps had to go to the bathroom so bad that we asked the next door that opened if we could use it. This really nice girl let us in and we talked for awhile and she asked us all about why we were here and our purpose so that was cool.<br />
<br />
The next day we taught the Plan of Salvation to our investigator. Felix came along too to help which was nice. :) The Plan of Salvation is one of my favorite lessons to teach. Every time we teach it, it always just is a great reminder to me how grateful I am for the gospel. It gives us so much hope especially knowing where we came from, why we are here, and what will happen after. So much kunskap and kärlek its great lol. The Söderberg's had us over for dinner too so that was a blast! Vincent and Leo are so great and we talked about anime and art and other things we liked.<br />
<br />
We had a great district meeting this week as well and talked about companions. We talked about how fun and hard it can be to forced to be with someone for 24-7. ;) I can't get over how grateful I am for Syster Heaps. :) We always have the best conversations and just love talking about life and just love doing the work with joy! We don't want transfers to ever come.<br />
<br />
We went to a baptism in Utby this last weekend as well! It was such a spiritual day evening and the guy being baptized was from the middle east and was so happy.<br />
<br />
While we were out contacting one day, we ran into the sweet Anna Ocasio! This sweet lady who was one of our best friends in Helsingborg. :) We hugged for a long time and caught up. Seriously such a blessing to run into her. Me and her daughter Alicia are soul sisters. ;) Miss their family so much and told her how excited I was to come back and see them in April!<br />
<br />
Sunday was great too. The french guy we talked to on the street came to church so that was exciting. :) Fabrice (a french member) took him under his wing and translated the entire church for him! What a guy. We were so happy and he said he was so glad he met us and agreed to meet again this next week! Woot woot. :) After church the Johanssons had us over for dinner. We showed them the daily bread mormon message and how it is the little things we do in our life everyday that build us up, make us stronger, and help us come closer to our Savior. We love mormon messages.<br />
<br />
All and all it was a tiring week this week and we learned a lot. Words can't describe how exhausted we have been but it is the best exhaustion we have ever felt. Knowing all our efforts are for the Lord and his work is the best feeling one can feel. Lovin' life. Tacksam för tiden jag har haft här. Alltid ska minnas min frälsare och allt han gjorde för oss. Om jag är ärligt är det inte alltid lätt att vara här. Det finns många gånger jag tänker varför kom jag hit? Det är så svårt haha. Men då tänker jag om försoningen och hur det var inte lätt för herren heller. Han gjorde det eftersom han älskade oss. Det är hur jag känner mot honom också. Jag älskar honom så vill jag göra allt jag kan åt honom nu och för evigt. :) Det är anledningen.<br />
<br />
Love you guys and till next week!<br />
<br />
Med Kärlek,<br />

This week started off nice with a P-day hike and grill fest. We headed into the woods and had a grand ol time together. We grilled some korv and snackade tillsammans. We then had to head to the Watson's later because left our phone in there car. Oops haha. We were waiting for the bus in the cold forever and finally we saw it coming and we were so happy. All of a sudden it just zoomed past us...sadly had to wait another 30 minutes in the cold. Patience was tested haha.<br />
<br />
We then had a full white day today. One because it snowed everywhere so that was fun! And the other because our planners were full white with no appointments or plans so we just go contakting and knocking on doors all day. Honestly, it was pretty depressing. So many people were just so mean after 100 no's your heart starts the hurt. We decided to get some nature godis to give us energy and I said I little pray in my heart to help us find a nice person and the next thing we know this sweet girl from germany pops out of the wood works are we have a nice long conversation with her about the love god gives us. It was much needed and lifted our spirits again. :)<br />
<br />
The trick to keeping sane through all the rejection is the just have fun with it and remember the small blessings God puts in our life. And when meanies come around, just kill them with kindness, they can't stand it. ;)<br />
<br />
We had interviews with president this week so that was fun! Feel like it's been so long since I got to sit down and talk to him. It was a great catching up and he said it was weird how little time we have left. I agreed and said it has been flying by. He said to keep going strong till the end. Det kan jag göra. :)<br />
<br />
We met with Hasib this week again and decided to start reading Mormons Bok together. We have been explaining it to him chapter by chapter and he says it helps him understand it a lot better. It's kinda fun starting it fresh over again learning all the little details of the stories of Lehi and his family and how sacrificing their life for the gospel wasn't easy for them either but they loved god so much they did all he asked. :) Good reminder for me. We also had a nice conversation about 'casting lots' haha.<br />
<br />
The Johnson's, Syster Byberg, and The Karlssons all had us over for dinner this week. Shout out to the great members here and their amazing food. Their love keeps us going here and we can't imagine this work without them.<br />
<br />
Sunday was wonderful. :) First Fast and testimony meeting here in VF. It was so underbart and filled with so many sweet testimonies and remembrance of the Savior. There were so many visitors today too so that was fun! Our investigator Mehdi came too and just loved church! It was a nice day and we had dinner after with the Karlssons. Nice rejuvenation for the week to come. :)<br />
<br />
Hope everyone is having a fun time getting back into the swing of things. Love you all and until next week.<br />
<br />

Wow, this last year just flew by. Honestly it still feels like 2015 lol. I don't think time works normally when your on a mission. You constantly feel like your in this parallel world and the months just disappear by the seconds. Weird to think I will be heading home in less than 4 months. Ahhh, not real. ;)<br />
<br />
Monday was the day after Jul! We had P-day that day and a nice recovery day from all the Christmas food comas. Felix and friends invited us missionaries to play some innebandy (hockey without ice) at the church so that was fun. :) It got pretty intense and we were all wiped out after. Later in the evening the Bakers invited us over for their traditional missionary dinner the day after Christmas. :) They are the best! It was fun to talk to Marie because we had some mutual friends. We played Mafia (one of my favorite games which I totally forgot existed! haha) and Psychiatrist. It was such a great night full of laughs and good company. They made us this delicious dinner and sweet Marie bought us all Frölunda Indian t-shirts! Vad snäll! Me and Syster Heaps were so pumped we took tons of pictures with them after. ;)<br />
<br />
The next day we went to Maria's house and had a trevligt stund together. She wanted us to help her decorate her mini christmas tree! She put up jul streamers while we did the other decorating. She gave us this yummy lime cake also which was to die for! Sååå gott.<br />
<br />
Later in the evening familjen Sahlin invited us over for dinner. The Watsons were there too so it was a big fun night full of fun swinglish. :) We all were so sore from innebandy the day before so that was funny. We had these delicious potatoes and me and Syster Heaps shared Mosiah 24:14 about how the Lord lifts us form our burdens. It was a great night filled with the spirit. Oh also Annette Sahlin gives the greatest hugs ever. :) We love the Sahlins!<br />
<br />
The next day we got back to the normal grind and talked to so many peeps! Felt good getting out there again. :) And självklart a little hard also lol. We made the best of it and tried to spread the last little bit of christmas cheer to all that came our way. We met with this swedish investigator guy at the center as well and he said he notices people who have God are filled with happiness and joy. He agreed to meet with us and learn more about the gospel but he was said it will be hard for us to teach him. We said we would gladly try. ;)<br />
<br />
We contaked so many people in stan and ran into both the Utby elders and the Frölunda elders. All of us in the same stan. ;) It felt good seeing us all spreading the gospel together!<br />
<br />
For new years eve the Watsons invited us over and we had a fun game night. We made pizzas and played Disney Trivia. :) We all got into teams and and a grand time. We then went home and watched the city blow up with fireworks! Kinda felt a little unreal. Still blows my mind we're in the new year. <br />
<br />
We had an hour of church today and me and Äldste Cluff shared our testimonies with the ward since we were new. :) So far it has been a great new years day and we got to email on Sunday since we got to have P-Day today. Hope you all had a great New Years Eve as well. It is always so nice having a fresh start and great vibes to start the new year. Hope this spirit of gladje continues till the end of this year as well. Love you all and remember to thank the Lord for everything he has given. :) Vi ses senare!<br />

<br />
This week was sensational. On P-day we had a party at the Ysa center with a lot of the göteborg missionaries and we played some games and we did a meditation game with Elder Cox and we all found out spirit animals. Mine was a dalmation. Det var roligt. ;)<br />
<br />
So many sweet members invited us over for dinner for the holiday season. :) It was nice especially when we were having a rough day to look forward to be with members in a nice warm chirstmasy home. We love the people here. :)<br />
<br />
This week we knocked on so many doors inviting people to the Christmas Sunday service telling the world how fun it would be. :) We found that to be very effective inviting people from door to door. This sweet old lady opened up and told us we could come back and talk to her more! We came back a few days later and she happily let us in. We taught her about the Book of Mormon and the stories it contains. She said she believed in god but she just didn't really know where to turn. We invited her to read and ask him if it was his word. She said happily and said we could come back another time. :) Toppen!<br />
<br />
We got to practice the restoration in swedish this week as well with a member. It was nice getting tips and improving our skills since we don't get to teach it so much. He gave us some language tips too so that was nice!<br />
<br />
We had a fun distrikt meeting this week as well! It was the one right before Christmas so we decided to all go out christmas caroling in stan (in town)! We brought some hymn books and sang to the world! This cute little old lady came up to was and was like 'Wow!! You guys sing beautifully. What church are you from?' We told her we were mormon and she was like, 'Oh I don't like Mormons...but that's okay at least you sing nice.' lol. We came back to the center and the Watsons surprised us with this huge lunch! They are the sweetest ever.<br />
<br />
We then had Julafton! (Christmaseve)! :) Which is actually bigger celebrated than christmas day in Sweden. :) We met with the elders and watched some disney movies and then headed to the sweet familjen Malm! We played games with their little kids and watched Kalle Anke (Donald Duck) cartoons together. Eva made us this beautifull christmas dinner and we had a grand ol time together. After, we acted out the nativity with the family and and played some charades. :) Then one of the younger sons who was about 11 years old dressed up as Jultomten (Santa) and brought presents for everyone! It was cute because the little sister was like, 'What the! You're not Jultomten, you're my brother...' haha Såå gulig. We then thanked them for everything and they drove us home.<br />
<br />
The next day was Christmas! It was fun because we had church that day and we got to see everyone in their fun Christmas outfits and the christmas spirit was so strong! One of the lady's houses we knocked on came for the service too so that was fun! :) We combined with the Utby ward as well so it was fun to see some more missionary friends. Us missionaries sang a musical number and there were many more beautiful musical numbers. It was a great meeting. We then headed to the Johnsons after church and they made us this delicious ham and we had a nice relaxing evening together. :) We got to skype our families while we were there too!! Wow it was so weird. 7 months without seeing my family! Such a treat to see them. :) I love and miss them so much. So many tears were shed lol. Where did the time go? Weird to think the next time I see them will be in person! So excited. We then finished the night with some more disney movies. :) It was a great Christmas!!<br />
<br />
Hope you all had a great christmas as well and felt the wonderful spirit of love during it. Grateful to have got to spend two christmas' here in the beautiful land of Sweden as a missionary for the Lord. It's hard not being with my family but it is worth everything being here for Him. I love the gospel and the feeling of peace it gives us not only on Christmas but all year round. :) Love you all and till next time!<br />

Göteborg denna underbara plats... åååh!Berlyn Davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18402964348889117162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012002343174073327.post-10039855731562651972016-12-19T11:04:00.000-08:002017-01-01T11:04:31.654-08:00My dream come true.Hello hello everyone! So much happened this week and sadly I don't have much time to explain it. Gonna sum it up quick. :) Had a last few couple of days in Örebro. Said goodbye to some of my favorite people including Syster Christoffersen, Äldste Petersen, and Äldste Richardson. shout out to you all and miss you all.<br />
<br />
It was December 13 this past week so we got to see the St. Lucia concert which was beautiful! Feels like yesterday I was watching it last year in Sundsvall. Where did the time go?<br />
<br />
We did some service and played some ukulele for Vedel one last time and sang 'Come Thou Fount.'<br />
<br />
I then packed all my bags up and hopped on a train to my new area Västra Frölunda!! Still kind of in shock I get to be in Göteborg. :) Always been a dream of mine to serve here. I know it's gonna be amazing.<br />
<br />
Met Syster Heaps and Syster Wagner at the station and they helped me with my stuff. :) So excited to get to be with Syster Heaps this transfer! This first week together has been such a blast and she has been showing me around the whole area.<br />
<br />
We have this sweet investigator named Yunlong who is from China and got us flowers! Such a sweet guy. We've had so many sweet members invite us over for dinner so that is always fun. It is such a treat to be in peoples beautiful homes during the holidays! Such Christmasy vibes everywhere we go. :)<br />
<br />
This is going to be a good 7 weeks. <br />
<br />
Sunday was fun too. :) Got to meet the whole ward! Such a big ward full of such nice people. We were in the choir too singing some Christmas hymns. Got talk to Felix as well, eller former Äldste Sahlin who was the assistant when I first came to Swden! :) So fun and so good to see him. It was a nice sabbath and felt the spirit so strong from this returned missionary's talk who just got back from Greece on her mission! So great talking to her too.<br />
<br />
Anyways, love you all and hope to be able to give more details next time.<br />
Merry Christmas!! and see you next week!<br />

Such en eventful week I don't even know where to begin. P-Day was pretty normal. We helped Äldste Richardson get some normal person outfits since he will be going home so soon. He needed some fashion tips from us lol. We then find out later in the evening that Syster Christoffersen will be training so that was some fun news! Also meaning I will be transferring out again. I found out I will be heading to Göteborg and greenie-breaking Syster Heaps! :) I am so pumped. It has always been a dream of mine to go to Göteborg. And I am even more excited to be with Syster Heaps. :)<br />
<br />
This week was also special because it was Christmas Conference! :) We got together with the Stockholm South Zone and had a huge Christmas meeting. We stayed the night with the sweet Västerhaninge sisters Syster Hansen and Syster Nelsen. They are the sweetest. We all gathered at the new Handen chapel. It was beautiful! We had a spiritual meeting about Christmas and about loving one another. We then had a delicious feast for lunch and I caught up with my good friend Äldste Hart who is going home this week! Crazy how fast the time goes out here. We then did a white elephant game which was a blast. we had some Christmas musical numbers and another spiritual meeting. At the end the Beckstrands came out and told us they had a surprise for us. They said since we all have been such hard-working missionaries this past year we deserve a present. We gathered into the gym and they have this huge projector set up to watch a movie! They let us all watch the new Saturday Warrior movie! haha Even though it was a cheesy mormon movie we were all so pumped and happy to get to watch a movie! :) Such a great present and such a fun conference. :)<br />
<br />
After the fun conference we all headed back to our areas. We went to go visit this member in the senior home named Sonja. She was the cutest thing ever and was so happy we came to see her. We read some of the Liahona with her and she told us all about her family. She kept saying she was so grateful we came to visit. Such a sweet lady. :) We promised to come back every week!<br />
<br />
The next day we headed down to Stockholm because Syster Christoffersen had train the trainers! That means I got to go on splits with the Täby sisters!! Syster Trotter and Syster Olsen. :) It was so fun catching up with them. We contakting a ton of people togther too which is always fun to do in a tripan. Me and Trotter gave out a Mormons Bok to this guy who said he needed evidence that god existed and we said 'Okay here you go. :)' and He was like 'hmm, tack!' haha. After splits I went back to the mission home a little early to wait for the trainers to finish their meeting. While I waited I had a little fika with Syster Beckstrands assistant Bianca. She made us some hot chocolate and we talked about life and stuff. She is so nice! We then headed back to Örebro.<br />
<br />
This weekend we had the Örebro ward Christmas party! It was such a fest and the cute little primary kids did a mini St. Lucia show for us. They also had a swedish trivia game about all these swedish christmas traditions and I literally guessed on almost all of them. They went went through all the answers at the end and the winner got a gingerbread house. At the end, I got everything right even though I guessed and won the prize haha! Everyone was shocked an American missionary won lol. I just said I guessed on everything and they all laughed.<br />
<br />
The next sunday was my last sunday in Örebro so they had be share a goodbye testimony. I was only here for 5 weeks but it already felt like home. I thanked everyone for the love and said I hoped to come back someday. :) After church the Lohman's invited us over for dinner since it was my last sunday here. We talked about how much we loved Robert and Tiffany Davis and they showed me this fun Midsommar book with all these photos of them. :) Pär even called Tiffany while we were there haha. The Lohmans are the best. :) Gonna miss the amazing people of Örebro!<br />
<br />
Anyways sorry this letter is really rushed and probably a lot of mistakes but it was quite an eventful week! So much happening and excited to get to be in Göteborg this week! Wish me luck!<br />
<br />
Jag vill bara lämna er med mitt vitnesbörd att jag vet Kristus lever! Han är där och det här är hans verk. Varje dag ser jag underverken som bevisar mig att Gud är där. :) Han verkligen bryr sig om var och en av oss och vill att vi ska hitta honom i våra liv! Jag är så tacksam för att jag kan vara här för honom. Det finns ingen ord som kan förklara hur mycket glädje evangeliet har givit mig. God Jul alla och ses vi nästa vecka!<br />
<br />
Med Kärlek,<br />

We had a fun P-day with one of our less-active friends and we went to this cool shopping center and got some IKEA for lunch. We then ended the day with a fun family home evening with the Svenssons and friends. So fun.<br />
<br />
Tuesday we had our usual service with Vedel and fika. Gregor let me play the organ so that was cool. Never played one before in my life! <br />
<br />
This week our friends familjen Knuttson was moving and they asked us to help move out. We happily said yeah and helped them clean out their whole house!<br />
<br />
Sorry don't have a lot of time but to summarize. We had a great last distrikt meeting together! It was Äldste Bailey's and Äldste Richardson's last one so we threw a huge funeral for them! We all did a little musical number for them. Me and Syster Chrostoffersen sang a little song on the ukulele for them and we all took some fun pictures with mustaches after. It was a fun last distrikt meetng.<br />
<br />
We visited a lot of members this week too and showed them the new chirstmas video! Love this years initiative about service. :)<br />
<br />
We met with former Syster Jackson (Savannah now) and Elias and watched the Restoration film with them. It was fun to see Savannah again.<br />
<br />
We had a great Sunday as well too! Lots of new people came to church which is always fun. :) After church the Svensson's invited us over and we all went to this christmas concert together in stan called O helga Natt! Det var jättefint och roligt. <br />
<br />
It was a great week and love the Christmas spirit around us everyday.<br />
Till nästa vecka<br />

Hur mår ni? Hope you all had a nice thanksgiving. The week here was just great. It started off with a nice P-Day at the top of Svampen! This huge mushrrom building we live by. We just had to climb to the top and see the cute little view of Örebro! Later in the evening we met with the sweet Knutsson family had us over for family home evening. They said we provide the spiritual thought and they provide the game and fika. ;) It was such a fun homey evening.<br />
<br />
We had our normal service with Vedel this week so that was a treat. This time was special because we got to put up the Christmas tree in the church! So fun getting into the holiday spirit here. :) The STLs Syster Campbell and Syster Anderson came to for splits so that was fun! It was fun getting to be with my old comp Syster Campbell! I showed her all around Örebro and we kontaked the whole day. Loved being with her again.<br />
<br />
Vedel and his cute wife Kerstin had us over for dinner this week too! They made us the Christmas traditionals and explained to us about the Swedish advent calendar where everyone in Sweden lights a candle 4 sundays before christmas every week for a little count down. We showed them the new christmas video too and they loved it.<br />
<br />
Thanksgiving was this week as well. :) On the actual thanksgiving day we had nice distrikt meeting and did some funny roleplays together. Chatted with Äldste Harrell from San Clemente and Äldste Scott about life so that was fun. We went to a chinese buffet afterwards and had a grand ol time together. We then went kontakting for a while and then had a mini thanksgiving with us and Äldste Williams and Richardson at the church. I accidently bought alcoholic apple cider so that was a bust lol. It was a great day i alla fall!<br />
<br />
We met with Ann and her daughter Vanessa this week too. We met Ann on the street a few weeks ago and she told us to call her anytime! We called her and she treated us to Lasanga. :) She spent most of her life in Rio so it was cool hearing about her life there. we taught her the restoration and she said wow, I believe it. Such a spiritual meeting and she said we could meet again soon. Her daughter Vanessa is a little autistic and she just had the sweetest smile whenever you would look at her. Love the amazing people we meet everyday. :)<br />
<br />
Sunday was härligt! I shared my testimony since I just got to Örebro. We had a few investigators there so that was great. We had a little fika after church and then the Keanne family invited us over for a riktig Thanksgiving! :) Such a treat! They drove us to their beautiful house out in the nature and we had such a great time together. They had the cutest little kitten as well. Such a great Thanksgiving together. We all went around and said what we were thankful for.<br />
<br />
I am grateful for hope. We have so much hope thanks to the gospel. Hope is something that gives us so much comfort and peace. It also gives a drive, and a purpose. With the gospel, knowing exactly why we are here and where we are going is such a burden lifted off our shoulders. That dosen't mean life is always easy but with hope in our Savior Jesus Christ, we can overcome any trial that comes into our lives. With him, we are promised happiness. We just have to endure and stay strong to the finish. Hope is what keeps us going everyday and having gratitude for the little things everyday can bring happiness to the soul. 'With joy, wend your way.' Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgving! :) Till next week!<br />
<br />
Med Kärlek,<br />

This week was just wonderful. :) Me and Syster Christoffersen had a great P-Day shopping together. We got some new winter gear for the winter which is coming upon us. We hit up the nearest thrift store and got some really good buys. We then had a fun family home evening hos familjen Svensson! It was so fun and we played this Swedish word game with some of the Örebro ysa and ate some popcorn.<br />
<br />
Every Tuesday the missionaries here do service with this sweet member named Vedel. :) We got to the church and rake all these leaves and vacum the whole church. We had a little fika afterwards with Vedel and Gregor. Gregor liked this winter hat I was wearing so he put on his Adventure Time Jake hat and said 'if you get to wear a cool hat so do I.' ;) Vad sött.<br />
<br />
We had a relief society activty this week as well. It was by this lady who had depression and she shared with all of us her story and advice for anyone who was struggling with depression. We texted a few less actives to see if any wanted to come with us and this one called us and said she wanted to but was scared to go alone. We told her we would come with her and she was so happy. :) The whole night she kept calling us her daughters and how much she was grateful for us for inviting her to the activity.<br />
<br />
We did a lot of kontakting this week as well. We have been trying to find some people to teach. It has been a little hard because rejection after rejection can be a little draining. Maybe 1 out of 20 people are nice to us. And even with that they usually aren't interested. There were a few days I just felt like a sucky missionary because we have not too many to teach and everyone was just putting their hands in our face or getting mad at us. This one personal study during this blue day, I read in the New Testament about Paul and it just lifted my spirits again. Paul was a missionary for so much of his life and it wasn't easy for him either. I loved reading and relating myself to Paul the whole time. I didn't feel like I was alone anymore. Thank goodness for the scriptures! They seriously are a life-saver. Being a follower of Christ is the most rewarding thing ever.<br />
<br />
We had zone training this week as well in Södertälje! It was fun to see so many old missionary friends again. :) I got to see my baby (trainee) Syster Matwaychuk too! That was wonderful. I love her with all my heart. Our STLs Syster Anderson and Syster Campbell did a great section on how we can come closer to Christ in our life. These trainings are always just what I need. Our zone leaders Elder Carrigan and Pärkää shared with us the new Christmas initative #lighttheworld so that was fun! Love getting to do Christmas kontankting. It makes people a little more open. :) We then went to a pizza resturant and got to catch up med varandra.<br />
<br />
The next day was stake conference!! And because us Örebro missionaries were in the stake choir, we got to go down to Stockholm to sing in it. :) Man it was sooo fun. It was the Stockholm stake so I saw so many members from Jakobsberg! So many great reunions and hugs. We stayed with the stockholm sisters and the Uppsala STLs were there too. I got to catch up with Syster Hall so that was great. :) Singing in the choir was so fun too. I've grown to love singing here on my mission! There is something so spiritually uplifting singing in Swedish. Love it.<br />
<br />
After church, Pablo, this member from Gubbängen invited all the missionaries at stake conference over for dinner! It was such a fun gathering and we helped Pablo made 40 meat patties for everyone. It was such a great week and full of light and christmas cheer. :) So excited for the holidays coming up! Love you all and have a great Thanksgiving.<br />
Med Kärlek,<br />

Well this week has been crazy. We had a fun last P-Day tillsammans with our Malmö zone. We took a little pitstop to this cute little Swedish town called Hjärup! I saw pictures of it before my mission on the internet and requested we go visit it! It has all these colorful swedish houses and a little village to walk through. It was adorable. :) We then hit up TGI Fridays with our Helsingborg crew for one last hurra and then went to the chapel to say goodbye to all our Malmö zone friends.<br />
<br />
Transfer day for us was on Tuesday since we'd be travelling far! Äldste Murtonen coming from Gubbängen came early so we all got a little kebab together and then packed all our big suitcases and hoped on the train to our new areas. It was sad saying goodbye to our DL Elder Adcox. We've been in the same district for 6 months and finally were parting ways. It's been so fun! Gonna miss all the fun times.<br />
<br />
Saying goodbye to Sys Campbell and Eldridge was the hardest of all. You seriously meet some of the bestest friends on your mission. Getting of the train and waving hejdå to them was so emotional. Can't wait to see them again and luckily Cambie is my STL now! <br />
<br />
I arrived to Örebro safe and sound and Syster De Souza and Syster Christoffersen came to greet me! They were so sweet and took my bags for me and helped me to my new home. There was snow EVERYWHERE. Well that happened fast lol. There was no snow in the south and now I just entered a winter wonderland. Excited to be in this snowy place for the winter. :) We arrived to the apartment kinda late due to the long travel so I unpacked a little and then headed to bed.<br />
<br />
We had a great first few days in Örebro. Christoffersen showed me all around the town while we talked to people. We got to know eachother a lot so that was fun. :) She is from Salt Lake City and has been on her mission for 6 months. She served in Helsingborg too so she knew how great it was! So many people we talked to asked us about Donald Trump as soon as they found out we were American haha. Typiskt. We ran into the Örebro elders a few times too! Elder Richardson and his greenie Elder Peterson. They're super nice.<br />
<br />
We had lunch with our mission leader Philip Lohman and his wife Deborah too. :) They were so cute and made us this delicious shepards pie thingy. We talked about the restoration together. The Lohmans are great friends with my stake president's family at home so it was fun to have that little connection. :) The world is so small!<br />
<br />
Distict meeting was this week too. It was fun to see some old friends again. We are the only two sisters in this district so we learn a lot of patience with so many elders...lol jk they're great. We made some goals for this transfer and then went to a Chinese buffet for lunch. The Örebro chapel is so magical! It is in the middle of this cute little forrest and the snow everywhere makes it so pretty.<br />
<br />
We met the with this nice old man named Folke this week too! He was such a sweetheart and the elders shared a little scripture with him. His friend Eva who was there also said she knew the Davis' as well! Fun that so many people know them here. :)<br />
<br />
The first Sunday was great too. It was the primary program, such a treat! There were so many primary kids and it's so cute to hear them and their little testimonies in Swedish. :) Elder Svensson who was my zone leader in Stockholm just came home from his mission too! He is from Örebro so it was fun to get to see him come home. Fun chatting with him after and saying it was weird to see him without a nametag haha. We had a nice sunday school taught by Robert Lohman about repentance. I always love Sundays and the spirit felt during them.<br />
<br />
All and all hope you all had a great week. Excited for the holiday season and keeping strong through the cold and walking on sunshine! Till next week.<br />
<br />
Med Kärlek,<br />

We had a fun Halloween with our district at the church on P-Day and all dressed up to the best of our abilities. ;) Our little tripan came as minions lol. Pumpkins are too expensive here too so we just carved some bell peppers. We played some uno and found a really creepy graveyard to walk through. It was a great Halloween! Later in the evening we had a lesson with this guy and we kept laughing because he kept thinking we were saying Kebab during the lesson when we weren't lol.<br />
<br />
The next day we went to swingby this lady who invited us over for dinner but she never answered so we just went trackting. We knocked on this door and this cute little asian lady opened. We started talking to her telling her who we were and then she just said, 'Vänta!(Wait)...' and came back with all this candy. We were like wait what no we aren't trick or treaters we are misisonaries with our church. :) Don't think she understood swedish or english that well but just said, 'Jag vet inte' and closed the door. ;)<br />
<br />
The primary this week set up this big dinner for us and the adults so that was fun! Little Mya came around and filled up our drinks and served us food. Such a cutie.<br />
<br />
We met with our favorite Gabriel this week as well! We taught him the last half of the plan of Salvation and he loved it. He said it just made sense (the three kingdoms) and that he had a desire the reach the highest. It was me and Campbell's last time seeing him so we took so goodbye pictures together and he kept saying 'Oh my gosh we are so cute. I love us.' Such a sweetheart. ;)<br />
<br />
We met with Alan this week as well who was planning to get baptized on Sunday but ate a bad case of chicken kebab and got the stomach flu so we had to postpone sadly. Stinkin' Kebab lol. <br />
<br />
Sadly we got transfer calls this week and our tripan will be coming to an end. :( I will be heading to Örebro with Syster Christoffrsen and Campbell will be heading to Södertälje with Syster Andersson and Eldridge will train in Helsingborg. We are so sad to leave eachother but it was a beautiful transfer together. So excited to see what Örebro has in store! :) Especially with the christmas season coming up!<br />
<br />
The last sunday here was so tearful. Only being here for one transfer breaks my heart and I've gotten so close to the people here in such a short time. They feel like family and I am going to miss them dearly. Helsingborg has my heart. Seriously missions are the hardest. You have to say so many goodbyes constantly to the best people ever. <br />
<br />
Love the time I had here and I know I will meet more amazing people in Örebro. :) Thanks for the love and hejdå for now!<br />
<br />

House trackting. Game face. On.<br />

Wow this week was such a good one. :) We had such an adventure of a P-Day last week with some of the skåne missionaries. We went to a place called Nimis where this man built these huge drift wood castles for people to climb up. We met up with the Malmö missionaries and explored all around together. It was beautiful! After we had a nice swedish dinner with familjen Svensson! My friend Sissa's family! :) So cute to see her house and be with her parents. We played a little scripture game and ate apple dessert.<br />
<br />
The next day we had lunch with the sweet Helmstads. The lived in the cutest little cottage with a nice oceanview. Brother Helmstad was the old bishop in Helsingborg! Him and Cecilia are so adorable. Cecilia likes to paint so it was fun seeing all her artwork around the house and to talk to her about painting. The house they live in was Cecilia's grandma's so it's so adorable and vintage. We were dying it was beautiful.<br />
<br />
We called a lot of old investigators and tänkbara undersökare (potential investigators) this week who's numbers were still on the phone. One of them agreed to meet with us! His name was Jurgan and was from Albania and Italy. We met with him and said he was a strong believer in God and Christ and wanted to find truth. He came to the right place. ;) We taught about Mormons Bok and prophets and he was fascinated. It was a spiritual lesson.<br />
<br />
This week at district meeting we talked about how we can best find people to teach. We agreed the best way is through the members referring their friends to us. It is so true! Members are the best missionaries. We then did a little grab-bag (game) and since it was me, Syster Campbell, and Äldste Banks year-mark-afton, for lunch we did a little burning ceremony of our old skirts/shirts to symbolize a year finshed. :) So crazy, doesn't feel real.<br />
<br />
We found out this past week Syster Eldridge will be training!! Woohoo! We are so excited for her. :) But sadly, that means our tripan is coming to a close and me and Syster Campbell will probably be getting the boot out of Helsingborg. I love them so much and it has been a dream with them here. Sad to be leaving Helsingborg so soon but wherever I go next will be wonderful.<br />
<br />
Syster Eldridge headed up to Stockholm for a trainers meeting for the day so it was just me and Campbell. Felt weird being back to two! We visited one of our bestie members Bonnie. :) She invited us over to come teach her husband Rex who has sparked an interest in the gospel! So stoked. We taught him the restoration and we asked him how he felt after and he said, 'Like warm in my heart, like crying.' We told him that was the spirit. It was just perfect having Bonnie there too to add her testimony to everything we taught. They thanked us so much after the lesson and said they wanted to adopt us. ;) <br />
<br />
We had our usual dinner with the Malmstens this weekend too. We waited in the living room while Christer was finishing up the dinner and then all of a sudden he comes out with 5 pairs of glasses and an accordion and starts singing a show for us lol. It was wonderful and we cracked up and gave him an encore. <br />
<br />
Sunday was underbar som alltid! Vi sjöng i kyrkan och det kände så stark med anden. We sang 'I Know that my Redeemer Lives' på svenska and it was so cute seeing the choir director tear-up. Me and Syster Campbell bore our testimonies as well. We sat next to Alicia Ocasio too and she drew this amazing picture of me and her. ;) I promised her we would go on a roadtrip someday after my mission and go to some fun concerts together since we love the same music.<br />
<br />
After church we had dinner at the Wikströms. They were telling us about their fun trip to America this summer with the Bengstens. :) I said maybe I'll see them while they stop in California! We then all drove over to the Bengstens for this little dessert party for the Svensson's for their new calling in the temple presidency in Denmark Köpenhamn! So excited for them. :) We played Uno with the Helmstads and Robin and the Elders.<br />
<br />
I alla fall, den här veckan har varit underbar! I can not believe it has been a year since I first stepped into the doors of the MTC not knowing how much would happen to my life in this short year of time. Dedicating this time in my life to the Lord has been one the greatest things I have ever done. He has been here everyday with me. I can't even describe how blessed I feel. Jag älskar evangeliet och allt der gör för andra. Det stor i Mosiah 2:17, 'And Behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom, that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.' It seriously is true happiness serving others. I love you all and have a fantastic Halloween.<br />
<br />
Med Kärlek,<br />
