Also I has here for the previous stake conference and now they are already planning for the next stake conference in a month (sorry dad if this is a touchy subject ;) )
Last P-day we went laser tagging... Everyone considers me a threat... I got destroyed.. I was embarrassed... jajajajajaja
Funny story,
So a couple times this week I have been asked to pray in an English lesson and that has become the hardest thing for me to do hahaha One time with Su I was like
"uhh... we are tacksamma... errr grateful... for what we have learned us today... uhh learned today...."
And then we were at a members and I was asked to bless the food:
"We välsignad... umm bless.. this here food.. uhh this food..."

Happy P-day fellas!! This week has been full of ups and downs, but in the end we had a good week! On Tuesday we could not get anyone to want to meet with us so our day was full of contacting and tracting. We decided to be as diligent as possible and the day ended up to be super fantastic! We met random less actives on the bus and had a few investigators call us and want to meet! (side note, one investigator sat down with us (Kingsley) and was like "So, how do I get baptized?" #touchdown)
We also had a specialized training this week!! I got to see Aldste Lambson again! I miss that kid!!! Anyway, they taught us how to do effective planning and what to do when we get a baptismal date. It was exactly what I needed to hear! One thing that Äldste Mangum said was "We never want a baptism not going through because of something we didn't do for them" I have had a hard time getting my baptismal commitments to go through so I was very grateful to hear how to do everything we can.
Oh and then we got to watch the movie, Meet the Mormons at the end of the conference!!! It was so good!! But seeing that mom send her son on the mish made me love that Jodi Hemmingsen gal even more #loveyamommy
Then on Saturday we had a full schedule with three members present lessons planned and allllll of them were cancelled or blåsted (didn't show up).. But we were able to have dinner with Su, Jing (Su's girlfriend), Björn (best return missionary ever), and of course Brinky and me ;) Then after the dinner, I did the dishes with Su and had a very good talk with him about what his concerns are with life. Brinky-pie and Björn showed Jing around the church and she said she would get baptized if she knew it was true!! (#touchdown)
Yesterday at church, Brother Isaksen comes up to me and says, and I quote, "I watched your dad's favorite movie this week!" #LifeisBeautiful. This ward has been able to almost replace the void in my heart where my family is (I say almost because there ain't no place like 912)
Well guys that's all!! I hope you have a fantastic week and always remember there is a warm body on the more east-northern side of the world that loves you!!!!
PS I get to go to Stockholm this week because Brinkers has a medical check-up thing (it's chill) and then our ward is having a temple trip to Copenhagen (#touchdown)
ÄLDSTE HEMMINGSEN
