It honestly was the funnest two days of my mission life. ;) They showed me all around Täby, we went berry picking while we waited for an investigator, and we talked to lots of people who were too busy to talk because they were playing Pokemon lol. We had so many laughs together and it even started pouring while we were out. We decided to make the best of it and sing some favorite songs together. We visited this adorable little refugee center and colored and made bracelets with these little girls from Syria. They and their families were so humble and sweet, we never wanted to leave. They gave us huge hugs and thanked us and asked us to come back someday. :) So precious.
My time with the Täby Systers sadly came to a close but it was time to get my new companion! SYSTER MATWAYCHUK! She is from Canada and just got to Sweden 4 weeks ago. She started her training in Uppsala with Syster Mecham. :) Since Syster Mecham is finishing her mission soon, I get the honor to be Maywaychuk's new mother (trainer). Love her already! ❤
We have had so many laughs together already and bond on our love for The Goofy Movie. ;) We taught Na together this week so that was fun. :) Lots of our friends have been on vacation so we have done a lot of finding work together. It has been non-stop happiness and jokes together. We found slushies too and took crazy pictures of our tongues. It's gonna be a great transfer and a half. :)
Distrikt meeting this week was fun too. We all were assigned a book in Mormons Bok and we were asked to go around and summarize the one we got! I got 1 Nephi and talked about Lehi and his family leaving Jerusalem. I talked about how I like to picture being in their situation and asking myself if I would be faithful like Nephi or cranky like Laman and Lemuel haha. It was a fun activity. Afterwards the Clouses treated all of us to Vapianos! Såå snäll. Love them.
To celebrate my half-mark we met up with the elders for dinner and decided eat surströmming! It is this nasty rotten Swedish fish that makes people barf and it is a missionary tradition to do it. ;) Me and Äldste Blackburn were the only one's brave enough. We took some great videos. It was the nastiest thing ever. It was a fun night though and Blackburn played some guitar to make us feel better. ;) It's weird to think I've been here for 9 months. I can't imagine leaving this place ever! It is too great here.
Sunday was great as well. Everyone welcomed Matwaychuk with so many hugs. It was a treat today because one of the quorum of the 70 came to speak to Jakobsberg forsamling! He was from germany and talked a lot about staying strong in the gospel. We then came home and met with our less-active neighbor friend. He made us laugh so hard because was so afraid of bees just like me lol so we both screamed when they flew on us. We talked a lot about general conference as well. For dinner Matwaychuk made me the yummiest grilled cheese sandwich I have ever eaten! ;) Så gott. It was a great week all and all and we are excited for this next week. :)
Can't believe it is August! Hope you all have it so gott!!
Älska er! ❤

Eating surströmming for my half-way mark celebration!
Hello hello allihopa! Wow this week has been such an adventure. It started off with a great last P-day with Syster Holley. For her last day she wanted to walk around Gamla Stan and Stockholm one last time. She got her Dala Häst and other Swedish goodies and even saw some other missionaries there too. :) We had dinner at the Robinson's as well. It was a bitter sweet day. The POs picked us up later at night and took Syster Holley to the mission home and we gave one last hug to eachother. After, they dropped me off at the Täby Systers apartment to tripan it up for a few days! The amazing Syster McClatchie and Syster Young!!
