Ler and Waseem

This week went by really fast and I cannot believe that it is Monday. So we had a great week and we met some great people named Miriam and Ler. Mirium is from Peru and had a baby about 8 months ago. She is very interested and said she is going to bring her husband next time. Ler is from Russia and we met her through her boyfriend. We contacted her boyfriend, Waseem, the first week I got here and taught him. One night we got a text from Ler (the girlfriend) saying some interesting words to us.  So we decided we should probably stop teaching Waseem. Then six weeks later we ran into Waseem again and he said that he would like to learn more and that he would bring his girlfriend. She is very sweet and was interested in the church once we explained what we do as missionaries.

So this week when I thought my Swedish was getting better I realized that I was contacting people with a Norwegian Book of Mormon. I didnt realize it until I went to share a scripture with someone and it looked different. Whoops! 

Syster larson and I are really good at inviting ourselves over to peoples houses for parties. It really is a good idea though because we talk to their friends who are the party about the gospel. So we went to a gathering this week for a member who just got home from her mission in Estonia. We talked with a few of her friends who were really interested in what we do as missionaries and want to come to church. So that was exciting for us. 

Well I hope you all have a great week and a Happy Thanksgiving day! I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo greatful for all of you. I hope Dougie has a great birthday! There are some great girls here in sweden that come home soon.

Anyways love you all so much and hope you have a fantastic week! 

Love Emi Jane

Half Way Through Training

Well I have made it half way through my twelve week training! Basically I am a pro now. Syster Larson and I are staying here in Västerhaninge as well as our roomates Syster Sjöblom and Syster Smith. We are glad because we all get along very well and we get to spend Thanksgiving together. They dont celebrate Thanksgiving here obviously but the temple missionaries are going to have us over for a Thanksgiving dinner so we are excited about that. 

So this week has been rather interesting... so David was suppose to get baptized on Saturday. Two days before the baptism we call him and he said he decided to go out of town for 18 days. It was the wierdest thing but he said he took the Book of Mormon with him and that he wants to baptized when he gets back. So keep praying for him is the greatest human!!!! He is so ready to be baptized he often teaches Syster Larson and I during the lessons.  I think he went to Spain to go marry his girlfriend becasue he felt guilty that he had not married her yet. Who knows! 

Lets see what else. Today is probably one of the coldest days here. I am still trying to get use to the the sun going down at 4:00 and it is going to start going down even earlier. I keep thinking we are suppose to go to bed after we eat lunch. It kinda makes the day go longer but it is a great adventure!

They are starting to put all the Christmas decoration in Stockholm and is sooooooooo pretty. I am so excited for christmas. It is a big celebration here and it also means we get to talk in 6 weeks!!! 

So that is about it this week. Everything here in Sweden is great. I have a great trainer and we get along really well. My swedish is getting so much better! Never thought in my life i would be speaking swedish. I love and miss you all so much and remeber to love and server everyone.

Also tell decker that I ate moose this week and I thought of him because his family talked to us about hunting.
