Curious George returns😔

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 quick to tell me lol)  but its been cool to see my progression and be able to lead an area and train another missionary. It is quite literally only through God i am able to do this. God is real!

- We have been seeing tons of miracles in our missionary work! We currently have 2 people on baptismal date and two more people close👀. Its also been cool to see God prepare people. 

- I was sick this week. Ive been feeling off and super sick on Friday. It was weird to be in bed that long. It was the first time in nearly 8 months ive relaxed like that on my mission. Super weird but thankfully i felt good enough the next day to do some missionary work.

- We taught one of our friends and she has been having a hard time with loneliness and sadness and its been cool to teach her about how we can find joy in God. It has made me realize how grateful i am for a loving Heavenly Father who wants to bless me! A lot of times its easy to forget our divine identities as sons and daughters of God. Its something important to remember! When we remember that our perspectives of ourselves and everyone else change!! 

Gud Älskar dig.
Jag Älskar dig.

-Äldste Jackson Calder

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...
