Spring? ☀️

 Hey guys! This week was cool. 

-i was super sad this week because it snowed but then literally the next day the sun was out and i was in short sleeves? Sweden is pranking me i think. I think it's spring now but i need a few more weeks of proof before I trust it.

-i went on lots of splits including going back to Kalmar!! I actually missed the place surprisingly. It was really neat to visit. I realized while we were sitting around talking that i had been comps with each of the 3 other missionaries there before. They all know the pain of being comps with Äldste Calder😂

-our mission focused a lot on finding people to teach this week. It was really cool to see the miracles happen!! Our zone hit an all time high!! Pretty good stuff😊

-i got to go on splits with the one and only Äldste Stallings which was so much fun. If you guys dont remember i used to go on splits with him almost every week when we were in Sundsvall and Östersund. It was fun to be together again and i cant wait until we're comps.

-i went to an american store and bought some mac and cheese. It was delightful.

- general conference was so awesome. I was very surprised to see that i could sit through the whole thing with very minimal napping. Tender mercy fr

- I got to give a preisthood blessing this week to a sister who wasnt feeling good. Its always a cool experience.

-Today we went up to this place called Helsingborg and it was so hype. It is so beautiful and we went on these crazy hikes. I just layed in the sun for awhile haha. The other one had a huge treehouse? Kinda crazy stuff. W P-day

I know God exists and loves us. I know that you can know that too. 

-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...
