| Every pday we get ice cream! |
 |
| Even in Sweden |
Mån: I got me a nice haircut. We were out on
the main street when 2 drunk guys stopped us and we sat and talked with them for
30 minutes. We got ourselves some ice cream and went to the email in the library
and those 2 guys just showed up hahahaha. We ran into a sign that I know is big
in the USA: May the fourth be with you, haha

| Cinco de Mayo lunch (w/ mustaches) |
Tis: We went over to the M's early in the morning to help them pack up and
move. They found a place to stay for the month of May but are still searching
for a place for the rest of the summer. It was Cinco De Mayo so we couldn't NOT make tacos and guacamole!! Mustaches added a nice effect. We taught some people
on the streets; been really trying to get some new people to teach.
Ons: We had an awesome contact with a woman J. She was super interested
about a message that could strengthen her family. Im super excited to meet with
her again and teach her about Gods plan of happiness:) We also met with T and
talked about the Family proclamation. It was a great discussion but he trys to find a problem to anything we talk about - kind of frustrating. We did
a practice lesson with a less active family. It was very real hearing their
concerns come out through the role play of an investigator. Hopefully, good things will come from that.

| I love split pea soup now! |
Tors: We had our district meeting and had pea soup and swedish pancakes
again:) I love that stuff. We got blåsted by a new investigator. Rats. We did
some inspired knocking and were able to get a little fired up with this one guy.
We invited him to find out for himself and said that he wouldn't
be able to say it wasn't true by not trying. He didn't want to do
it. We claim that our church is either true or not. Thats it. So if you test it, you will receive an answer that it is true or not. Its no more
complicated than that. We did have something cool happen as well. We knocked
this door and this high-schooler was actually in the middle of a school project
about Mormons, ha. We got to
answer a lot of his questions and help him with his project. Hopefully this
helps him and that the project brings people to us!
Fre: We have been doing stellar work with teaching street lessons of late.
We got some new people who we can meet again in a couple of weeks! We then spent
the rest of the day with the H's visiting another one of their friends. It was fun but wasnt really an opportunity to talk about the Gospel because
they also had some atheist visitors haha. Talk about awkward:) After dinner with the S's I got to practice singing in preparation for a sacrament meeting. I'm really excited to do this. I have wanted to improve my
singing but I've wanted someone to ask me rather than invite myself. Luckily
sister S did that.

| Last box of Mac Cheese, empty peanut butter jar in window (hint-hint) |
Lör: Transfer calls came and my comp is leaving:(. I don't know much about my new companion but he is fairly new to the mission. I look forward to working hard with him and having a good ending to the
mission. We taught several lessons on the street and ended with this girl A
and she was ready to listen to us- it was incredible! Im excited to meet with
her again!
Sön: I realized in church (none of
our investigators came, darn): that my comp and I are the younguns in the
branch. We seriously spend our time hanging out with elderly people 24/7. Its
not a bad thing. It was just funny to realize that. I think it will be weird
when I come home and not be surrounded by older people haha. I love these people
here. They are great. Time to skype home! That was a blast! It was super fun to be able to talk with family face to face. I love them lots and I am excited to be with them again in 6 weeks. It feels good to have that last skype done with now so I can just focus these next 6 weeks completely on the
work. I'm excited.
As I mentioned earlier, i want to say it again, thank you mothers
everywhere. You are the greatest inspiration to mankind. Mothers have such a
wonderful role in life in nurturing and raising children to do good and be good.
I read Elder Hollands 1997 conference address called "Because she is a Mother".
It is amazing. It really highlights how I feel about mothers. You mothers are
the best. I love you all!
Jag är super tacksam att jag får vara här i sverige att tjäna min konung.
Jag vet med allt mitt hjärta att detta verk är sant. Jag vet att Gud lever. Tack
vara hans kärlek kan jag vara en bättra person. Jag älskar honom. Hoppas att ni
får ha det så bra! mvh
I'm super
grateful that I can be here in Sweden serving my Lord . I know with all my
heart that this work is true. I know that God lives. Thanks to his love, I can improve
and be a better person. I love him. Hope you have a great time. Sincerely,
Äldste Johnson
