Hej Hej

So this week has been great! A funny thing happened to my foot. So you know how my wrist and fingers and ankles are really flexible. Well somewhere somehow I sprained my ankle like I always do. This time it started hurting and it became swollen so we decided to go to the doctor. So the doctor was feeling the ankle that wasn’t hurt and he said wow you must have sprained your ankle many times. I told him I have never sprained my ankle(not that I know of)then he told me to stick my thumbs out and he was like oh you just have weird joints. Giggles! He told me I should have done gymnastics. Anywho the foot is all better so that is good. I didn’t think I needed to go to the doctor but I do as I am commanded. The weirdest things happen. 

We did a lot of contacting this week. Not very many lessons but contacting is always a hoot. This week Syster Larson and I split of from each other in the trains. Meaning I had to go and talk to people in Swedish all by my self! It was interesting... I can start the conversation and say much more in Swedish but once they start talking I am so lost so I just start talking about the gospel. I am getting better at picking up certain words and then I guess what they are talking about. For our service project this week we planted flowers at the temple. It was a great time and it looks really pretty.

The members are really nice here and they take great care of us. We have had great dinners. I have notice that Swedish dinners consist of potatoes and salad with tons of veggies in them. I ate some salmon, some pasta, Swedish meat balls with lindon berries and some veal. They eat a lot of klad cluka here. It is basically brownie dough with some whip cream on top. It is delicious! I tried some calviar the other day it was so nasty. It comes in a tube like toothpaste. I have no idea why people would eat fish eggs.

So I had to share my testimony in church on Sunday it was kinda scary. The ward here is really big so that is good. We met this girl named Harriet on the bus she is from Uganda(they are always nice and accepting to hear our message) and said she wanted to come to church with us. So we told her to meet us at the train and she really did come to church with us on Sunday. We even gave her a Book of Mormon and she was so happy! After church we realized she lived in the other missionaries area so we had to give her to them. 

Well it sounds like everything at home is going swell. Will you send me some pictures please! I also figured out how to send pictures but I left my camera cord in the apartment so I will have to send them to you next week. I am so sorry I am not the best person when it comes to pictures. I have been taking a lot of pictures though! Lisa would be proud. It is really pretty here all the leaves are falling of the trees and it is getting colder and colder each day. 

I love you all so much and miss you all. Thanks for being the greatest people! The Utah game sounds like it was so great. I really miss it but I am glad the Utes are doing well. Anything else exciting going on at home?? Don’t worry mom I am careful we are getting reflectors so cars can see us and we take the train and bus so we can talk to people.

Love Emi
