We have also been meeting up with our good friend Jasmine :) She spends a ton of time at a library in one of the suburbs of Stockholm. Elder Archibald and I went to her library this week and she was soo happy to be able to show us where she learns. Jasmine is so good! We are sad that she has to move back to China in April. She'll be missed. She has contact with the church leaders in China so all should be well.
On Friday we brought in all the new trainers and trained them on training. #iliketrains We have 6 new sister missionaries coming this week and 1 elder from the Missionary training center. One of the sisters will be trained here in Täby by sister Lund! We're pumped!!
Friday night we made the all important over hyped transfer call. There is going to be a ton of movement this transfer because the group of 26 missionaries is being done trained. It'll be a little crazy this week when all of that happens but it'll work out... hopefully ;)
On Saturday we went out into the sticks of Sweden to help the funniest old lady clean some sticks off of a lake by her house. She is so funny! We walked into her house and she was "blasting" 70s rock music!! (in Sweden blasting music is like 37% volume.) Anne cracks me up! We helped move some sticks and then ate lunch at her place.
Later that day we went to a baptism here in Täby!! Sister Bateman and Cambell helped our good friend Pontus! (you may remember a selfie I sent home a few weeks of him? yeah? ok) He has been investigating for about 1.5 years and was sooooo ready to be baptized!! And the coolest part was that Paige Beckstrom and Hannah Powell skyped with Sister Beckstrand to watch the service!! They both served in Täby on their missions and now are home!! And they both taught Pontus! I miss you studs so much!!!!!!! #cali2k16baby #S/O
Sunday was super good. It was Elder Olsen (my future roommate) and the sisters last Sunday in Täby. Transfers can be so sad but exciting at the same time!! You'll be missed!!!
Well I hope you all have a great week. Our Priesthood lesson this week was on this amazing talk.

Elder Eyring shares the story of his father and how he would listen to the Holy Ghost in his life. I think that the talk is beautiful. Check it out!
