Elder Jackson Kent Calder

  Hey everybody.  This week was interesting. We've had lots of cool experiences. We went to our friends house to have a lesson with him and he didn't answer the door and he said he was in England. We were a little bummed but while we were walking back to the car we met someone who really wanted to meet with us again. God works in mysterious ways and its important we trust his plans. One hard thing from this week is it felt like a lot of the people who actually stopped to talk to us only wanted to argue. I feel this spirit vanish the second i start kind of arguing back. My new favorite thing is just telling people God loves them when they say something mean to me. It normally throws them off and they get confused haha. Other things that happened this week - One of our friends told us she doesnt want to go to heaven because she doesnt want to be "greedy and think about that" . So thats been fun to talk about - we have to push one of our friends baptismal date back a few...

Hej hej allihopa! This week was good. I thought i would be punctual this week and send my email out in the morning so i can hopefully be better at responding to these💀. Here is some stuff that happened this week. -I got a haircut. It was definitely, an experience lol. My barber was an Elder in my district who happens to also be from Australia like my companion. He cut hair before his mission and assured me he would do a good job. Well its not the worst haircut ever but definitely not great haha. Don’t get me wrong at all, im always grateful for a free haircut but trust me my hat has been on all week. Also hence the title, my hair is borderline buzzed and i once again look like Curious George🐵🍌 - Äldste Sannemann had a lot of splits this week (where he goes into other missionaries areas and goes with them for a day) so it was mostly me and Äldste Curtis. It actually went surprisingly well. My swedish is by no means good and i definitely have a strong accent (as Äldste Curtis is q...

This week was super cool! Hes a brief recap since P day is almost over. We worked really hard this week. Its been fun. We were able to have lots of lessons and do some service for people. We helped some americans move and it was awesome to be around some of my people haha. They were from texas and married swedish guys and moved here! It was really cool. We helped another dude move stuff and he kept calling us "brother" like literally every second. It was super funny actually.  After the dealthy cold of last week this week was weirdly warm. It got to like 40 degrees Fahrenheit but now its back down to like 5 degrees so its all over the place. My body is broken and 40 felt super warm to me. Kinda crazy and i might die when I come home from the heat haha. There were so many people that hated on me this week for being from America, it was crazy! They said that God isnt real because of the crazy stuff happened in the USA, so my spiritual thought today is briefly about how God has ...

Hej på er! This week was actually so great! I know last weeks email sounded pretty depressing haha and im sorry about that, i just try to keep it real and genuine. Im happy to say that we had a successful bounce back week😎 let me tell you about it! ---COLD COLD COLD. It has been so incredibly cold outside. It got down to like -33 Celsius which is like -27 Fahrenheit. Hence the title, i am definitely not built for this weather. Today it was around 0 and it felt actually really nice. I think I broke my body. This is God getting revenge on me for wearing shorts in the wintertime my whole life. (Ive learned my lesson pls dont judge) ---Äldste Sannemann left me again to go to Stockholm for a couple days for leadership stuff, so it was just me and Äldste Curtis. It was actually really good! Its definitely scary to train and try to be a good example, and have absolutely nobody to fall back on for Swedish, BUT God helped me for real.  --- we had a fika with one of our friends named G...
