Well this week has been different! Not always my favorite
but we push through! I said goodbye to 2 of my friends this week so that wasn't
the best, but they sure went out with a bang! From the day that we found out
they were leaving (Elder Hills and Elder Stoeltzing) on Saturday we have been
running around like chicken with our heads cut off! It has been crazy! But I
really enjoyed it seeing how much the members care about us here. They really
were great missionaries (Sounds like they are dead..) They STILL are great
missionaries they are just in other places! Then Wednesday came.. That was not
the happiest day. I don't like goodbyes. We put Elder Hills on his train at
8:00 and Stoeltzing on his at 8:30! Then Elder Kiikko waited to start the new
chapter of Linköping! I have a few pictures of the 'last moments.'
Then we received Elder Millar, from Minnesota, and Elder
Hewitt from England. Milliar is Elder Kiikko's new companion and Hewitt is
mine. It was really good. It was a beautiful day and we just started strong by
dropping of the bags and getting straight to a lesson with a investigator which
was great!
Change is not my favorite thing but I have found the one key
thing to getting through anything: Attitude. It is everything, and sometimes is
it all we can control. If you have been reading my letters every week you
probably know by now that Me and Change are not best friends, but this time was
different because I really tried to accept everything and everyone that I
could. I really have had a great attitude and honestly it's addicting, finding
the happy side is so much better than dwelling in the negative. It's okay to know
that it is there, but it's more important not to dwell in it! Something that I
have had a pretty cool example of lately.
The week just continued like it always does. Sweden is
playing with my emotions, it loves to be really warm and lovely one day, and
the next cloudy and cold. But that just makes me love the warms days even more!
#positive That was a little cheesy but hey. On Saturday night, we were with a
really awesome person Ottilia, she is Swedish and just plain awesome. That is
who I took the selfie that I sent! She is awesome. I am going to come back to
Sweden with Elder Hills and Elder Steen and we are going to take a road trip around
Sweden. So that will be sweet!
I love you all. So many people are praying for me, I can
feel it and I am so thankful for you. I don't know how I got so lucky, you are
all awesome. I have the best support system! I love you and thank you so much!
OH yeah! I can't believe how soon Zac is gonna be
home. That just blows my mind. So awesome for him, he is like the coolest
example for me. I can wait to talk to you in like 6 days! LOVE YOU, have a
great week! Pray for the Missionaries. Love life.
