Crazy week

This week was indeed crazy (hence the title) but it was super good!! 

(Can u tell I'm running out of ideas for titles?)

I don’t have the time and dont really wanna write a good email this week so here is a rough run-down lol

- said goodbye to sundsvall (my greenie area in sweden!!) So many hard goodbyes and good people that I will miss!

-went to Stockholm for transfers and ended up going on splits for the day with my fav person ever Äldste Christiansen! From mtc comps to terrorizing the streets of Stockholm together... really quite incredible. Someone should make a movie about it. For real though it was cool to see how in just 8 months we were able to get a good enough grasp on this language to feel comfortable and confident with just the two of us! I pray we are companions again fr.

- woke up at 4am to catch a train to my new area. It was quite the experience. The last thing i want to do right after i wake up is go outside in the cold to go catch a train. Nej tack.

- I got down to my new area Kalmar! Its actually so beautiful! There is legit two castles in my area. Which a little crazy for a kid from Oklahoma. The downside is the missionary work here is supposed to be really tough. We have only 3 members and have to drive an hour to church in a different branch called Karlskrona. 

-I've only had three full days in this new area but im excited! Its going to be a challenge and we will spend lots of time street contacting but i trust Gods plan even when I'm too tired to go outside and talk to people.

I love each of you! 
Yes you.
Pls send me an email! I know that God loves you too. He helps us in our weaknesses. NOTHING YOU DO CAN DISTANCE YOU FROM GOD.

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...
