Ett dop

 Anotha bomb week in Kearns 😍. This week had its ups and downs for sure. 

An up is that our friend Oscar got baptized! Oscar is the first person that I found that got baptized and it was a special process to see. His baptism was super spiritual. And especially when he went under the water I just couldn't stop smiling. I asked him after how he felt and he said "I feel like all of my sins are gone" and it was so cool for me to see how he's changed.

A down (and an up too) is that BYU Football had a great game this week and I couldn't watch it. So yeah everybody feel bad for me. At least we won though. Go Cougars!

This week we had a baptism in sandy, so I got to leave the Mission boundaries for a little bit. We were pretty early to the baptism so we drove over to my grandparents house since they lived like five minutes from there. My grandparents were actually at the BYU football game in Arkansas but my uncle Robb was there! It was super cool to see him and to visit their house. We were only there for like 10 minutes but it was awesome.

At the baptism an old man walked up to me and started speaking some random language that I literally understood zero percent of. You guessed it, it was swedish. Yikes. He told me he served his mission there and now it feels so real that I'm going there in a couple weeks. 

A lot of other stuff happened but I don't feel like writing it. God is real. Read your scripture. Also my MTC companion Äldste Sannemann is training next transfer in Sweden... so everyone pls pray he can train me.

Every transfer (6 week period) we do this thing called an engelska fast or english fast for those of you who didn't guess haha. This means that we try our best to go a full week without any english which is really cool and pretty difficult. But why do it? There are a few reasons, the main few - i want to prove i can do it - i want (need) to improve my swedish lol - we are rewarded with a movie at the end of the week that we watch in swedish. So the first time I tried decently hard at this english fast, i got blessed. WE GOT TO WATCH CARS. It was so hype and much needed. The title of the email is what Lightning McQueen says, it means "I am speed" (speed = fart in swedish🤣🤣) i laughed a little too hard and a little too long at that haha This week was very good! First and foremost, our friend Andreas got baptized. It was a super spiritual experience for him and for everyone there. I realized i havent said anything about this dude yet so let me tell you guys his really cool...

Dang two decades. Hey everyone! I wanted to start this off this week by just expressing my gratitude. So many of you sent me super nice stuff for my birthday, thank you for all the birthday wishes. Its hard to be away from home on a birthday but you guys made my day so good for real! I read all the messages and ill try my best to respond tonight❤️. Let me briefly tell you about my week. - last monday we played basketball (suprise) and it was delightful. We also played this chair soccer game and its ruthless but a blast. - zone conference was on Tuesday! I always love zone conference for a few reasons, i get to see my friends and it is always a spiritual experience. One thing we talked about was putting ourselves in the shoes of the Nephites when Jesus Christ came to visit them in 3 Nephi 11. He talked to each person one by one. What would i say to him? How would I feel? I've been pondering a lot about that recently. - we had splits in Malmö, the third largest city in Sweden and I w...

  Hey everyone! Happy Monday😁. Life is good here in Sweden! It was a good and weird week so here is some stuff we did. Sooooo as the title suggests i traveled around a lot this week actually. On Tuesday i took the 4 and 1/2 hour train ride to Stockholm to do splits there.  -Stockholm was beautiful as always :) i hope i get the opportunity to serve in the Stockholm zone at some point. I was with Elder Belnap for the day and golly is he a good missionary. It was a cool learning experience.  - we went to some random barbecue with a recent member in Täby and it was the funniest experience of my life. We showed up and they had brought a little grill to a fire pit because they couldnt get the fire going and it was just us, the Täby sister missionaries, the recent convert and her british friend. I dont really know why it was so funny to me but the new member kept trying to give us food and had a take a bunch of pictures (literally throughout the whole barbecue) with the sisters...
