Sweden Bound


Hej hej 

I made it to Sweden!!!! It really is so beautiful here!!! All the leaves are changing colors it is just so great to finally be here. So my first day here i was so exhausted. We arrived at 7:30 in the morning so we had a full day ahead of us. We went on a little tour of Stockholm, Sweden. It was a grand time. I learned that you need to watch out for bikers.... I almost ran into like twenty of them. Then we went out and contacted....haha it was funny. Thankfully president Newell let us go to bed at 7:30.

On Wednesday we met our trainers and our area! I am serving in västerhaninge. This is where the temple is located so I get to walk by the beautiful temple all day everyday. I have a fabulous trainer named Syster Larson from Florida. The best part was seeing Adelide and Caleb Farley! I also thought that Adelide was going to be my trainer that would have been so funny and great! Oh well all is good maybe someday we will be companions and spread the gospel everywhere! It was such a grand surprise to see them! It is so nice to see familiar faces. Tell Becky Farley I say hi and that Caleb is the greatest.

So my first week in Sweden has been so great. I am just trying to figure everything out still. My Swedish is coming along I honestly cant understand people that well so I just nod my head up and down then ask my companion what they be sayin. Usually when we say hej hej to someone they either keep walking or they ask if we know them. The Swedish people are very reserved but we will fix that. Our bike seats got stolen at the train station so we are mostly on foot. This is the best way to contact people. For example, the other day we met this guy named kaffi he is from America. He actually stopped us and said he has read about joseph smith and is interested. That is always a great thing to hear! So we is gonna go teach him so more about the good word. 

We had the opportunity to watch three sessions of conference. Conference is always a grand time. I learned lots from it hope you all did to. Well i hope all is going swell at home. Life here in Sweden is just a grand good time! I am gonna go buy me some winter boots now.
Jag älske dig!
