💥BOOM💥

 Hey everyone!! I hope you had a good week! I know i did. Nu kör vi🙌🤠

-this week started off really good! I spent sunday and Monday in Malmö which was actually super fun! It was cool to explore a new city and look around. 

- My companion got his haircut and while we were at the barber, they played 21 Savage the whole time. It had been awhile, so that was kind of cool haha (i can still go bar for bar in Ball w/o You btw)

- We had a mission conference on Tuesday! The Malmö zone and Göteborg Zone met in Göteborg and Elder BOOM was there! Hes the area president for northern Europe or something. It was cool to meet him and he shared some cool thoughts.

-My absolute favorite part of the week was seeing some of my friends at zone conference!! It was super cool to catch up with them. I hadnt seen some of them since the MTC so it was a much overdue meetup truly🙏.

- it was super fun to see two of the biggest cities in sweden in back to back days! Ive now been to the big three, Stockholm, Malmö, and Göteborg. I love Sweden! 

- It was fun to be "on vacation" but i missed Kalmar and my bed. (Sleeping on pads on the ground for 3 nights was not my favorite thing ever) 

-Things are going well in Kalmar!! We are finding more people than i ever have before which is cool to see. As far as our friends and their progression, it feels like most of them are still in very early stages. One thing that grew my testimony this week is we invited one of our friends to pray and he texted us and said he felt so peaceful when he did it. Its cool to see those promises come true.

-we had a game night in Karlskrona and i learned how to play chinese checkers. Its actually kinda fun? 

-The ward is asking me to play the Trombone on easter sunday, i never thought my musical talents would be used this much on my mission haha.

-I've had a weird number of LeBron vs Jordan arguements this week... maybe im the problem.

-GOD LOVES YOU. I LOVE YOU 😃

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...
