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.

Here is a brief rundown of my week! - Andreas passed the sacrament for the first time on sunday and it was so cool. I'm so proud of him! We're going to the temple with his for the first time on Saturday so im really excited for that. - we went to a youth stake event and spent the day hiking, playing capture the flag in the middle of the forest, and talking about Jesus around a campfire. It was a pretty cool experience. - had some splits with a cool Elder from Australia. Everyone I've ever met from Australia has been really funny and cool... I might need to visit. It was also his first week in Sweden so it was cool to hear all about his first week and experiences! - went to a members house who had alcohol free beer and alcohol free whisky. Both were disgusting. He also had "da bomb" the hot sauce from the show "hot ones" and i had to tr...
