Jag är fart

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...

My friend Milton came on splits with us this week and the title was his tip for my swedish. I love him and i just thought it was funny. To be honest nothing crazy happened this week. We did a lot of street contacting, a lot of lessons.  I decided i need to share more stories of lessons and stuff on here haha. We had one lesson this week with a guy who believes in the Bible but has a hard time knowing which church is true. We talked about prayer and how we can find truth and it was awesome!! We have a baptism this week which is exciting!  God loves you! Kämpa på. -Äldste  Jackson   Calder

Okay everyone. Heres the deal. I never know how to start these in a non cringy way. I think I failed this week too. Idk ill keep trying. As always, i dont have much time because P days are very busy. I got to play basketball for a few hours today with some other elders so im sorry I prioritized that over you guys... i hope you understand. This week was super cool though! It feels like not that much happened to be honest but here are some things that did happen  I got my hair cut and my barber kept asking me about america and guns, he asked me to not bring my guns to his barbershop. Too late  . Nah but for real it was so funny and weird that he just assumed i had a gun with me. I met this cool guy named moses on the street and we have quickly become best friends. We planned out the baptism of one of our friends and he is so excited! Its cool to see. I had to give my first ever zone conference presentation and it went alright. It was about baptism. I said "we dont baptize people...
