Stockholm, Halmstad, and Copenhagen🫢

 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. We started talking to her friend about Jesus and the recent convert kept taking selfies and it was just so funny. 

- we taught this guy about baptism in front of the baptismal fount and after pouring my heart out in the lesson and my testimony he asked me "you guys dont drink beer right?" Bruh

Halmstad was the next city we did splits in. It is also a beautiful city (I'm starting to sense a trend of all swedish cities being beautiful?) It was super fun. They have a mini pool table in their apartment (check out google photos if u wanna see🙏) it took me back to all those nights in college playing pool. 

On Saturday we went to Copenhagen to go to the temple with Andreas! He got baptized 3 weeks ago and he got to go to the temple for the first time on Saturday! It was super cool. After our session we had 2 hours before our train left so we did a little sightseeing on our walk back to the station. Copenhagen is a really cool place. 


Okay I feel like this email was kinda weird but im so grateful for all of you (especially you mom) who support me and pray for me. You make a difference :)

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...
