December 17, 2018 Christmas is Coming!

Us and the Sisters with Elder Carlsson in Stocholm

On Monday we flew down to Stockholm for MLC, and it just so happened that one of the young men in the ward, who had just been set apart as Elder Carlsson, was heading to the MTC (he'll be serving in Russia) at the same time. We got to escort him down to the mission home in Stockholm where he spent the night and then went on to Salt Lake. Half the branch showed up at the airport in Umeå to say goodbye, and I have to say, it was really cool to be a missionary and yet see a missionary off like that and help him on the first leg of his journey.

On Thursday we got to visit a Santa Lucia, a Swedish Holiday, performance in another church. It's

Santa Lucia

essentially a choir that sings traditional songs to Lucia, as well as Christmas songs, with lots and lots of candles.

On Saturday we had our branch Christmas party! We had placed a heavy emphasis on inviting everybody we could, and we ended up with a great turn out. We had a few people we're teaching show up, and one of them, Ann, brought a friend along. They both asked a lot of questions during dinner, and her friend, Annette, was impressed by our commitment to come to Sweden for two years to share the gospel. We shared with her how the gospel has blessed us in our lives, which ended up in us teaching her the restoration right then and there and giving her a Book of Mormon. She said she would like to meet us again to learn more, but will be busy until the New Year. We'll be keeping her in our prayers, and can't wait to teach her more :)

Well, we're heading down to Stockholm again tonight. We will be on exchanges tomorrow, and then we have zone conference combined with the Stockholm Zone one Wednesday. On Thursday I will

then be heading up to Skellefteå, an hour and a half north of Umeå, so it will be quite the week travelling all over Sweden! I won't be emailing next week, as Christmas here is actually celebrated on Christmas Eve, so I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!!

December 10, 2018 You never know how much good you do

Elder Ellis in the middle of town.

Before all the snow came.

This week we had transfers, and Elder Simmons transferred to Gotland. He will be serving as the first counselor in the branch presidency there, and to make it all better, he's going to be with my son, Elder Bills! I'm so excited for the two of them to be together, and I'm excited to now be with Elder Ellis! Elder Ellis is from Seattle, Washington, and so far we've had an absolute blast together. I can't wait to see what happens this transfer.

We got a bunch of snow this week, and fun fact about Sweden, they don't really plow the roads. It's made driving pretty fun and interesting! There are roundabouts everywhere, so if I wasn't a

missionary I would probably sharpen up my drifting skills. Thankfully our car handles the snow surprisingly well, so we haven't had any problems. Unfortunately it was raining today, so most of it has now melted...

Yesterday I had one of the greatest experiences of my mission.

A couple months ago, I let a missionary back in the Stockholm area borrow my pair of white pants for a baptism, and I just realized a few weeks ago I had never gotten them back. President Youngberg came to our branch yesterday to visit, so I asked if I could call the area and coordinate the return of my pants. I had thought about doing so many times before, but for some reason it wasn't until yesterday that I actually called. When the elder in that area answered the phone, he informed me that he had just interviewed Henrik, who I had found in taught in Stockholm, for baptism. He asked if I would like to talk to him, and before I could say anything, the phone was put on speaker and I heard Henrik say, "Hey, Sirrine!"

I had absolutely no idea his baptismal interview was yesterday, in fact, I had sent him an email last Monday encouraging him to keep pressing forward, but had received no response, so I wondering how it was all going. I got to talk with Henrik for a few minutes, and Henrik reported that his baptismal interview had gone well, and I was able to congratulate him (and request that pictures from the baptismal service be sent my way). I was grateful that the Lord worked out the timing so I could share that special moment with him. Henrik is one of my closest friends here in Sweden, and knowing that he's doing so well filled me with indescribable joy. We truly have no idea just how much good we do, but every once and a while the Lord will give us a glimpse.

December 3, 2018 Fencing with Gardar

Fencing

On Thursday we got to try fencing! Now I've done a lot of fencing before, that is, building and repairing fences, but this was the kind with swords and masks. The sisters are teaching a man named Gardar, who's a fencing instructor, so he offered to host an activity for the young adults in the branch. Gardar is absolutely amazing, he comes to church every week and is even in the branch choir. To be honest, I thought he was a member for my first two weeks here in Umeå... Fencing was one of the coolest things I've ever done, but while I did okay against the other missionaries, I stood no chance when it came to fencing with Gardar. I had no idea a 50 year old man could move that fast...

Speaking of cool guys, we have a senior couple who just returned from the temple in Stockholm, and they're spiritual powerhouses! They came with us on a lesson this week, and the testimony they shared was incredible. On top of that, his name is Torbjörn (prounounced Tor-byearn), which is quite possibly the coolest name ever. Tor=Thor and Björn=Bear.

On Saturday we got to kick off Light the World by participating in the world-wide day of service! A member has a cousin who was moving across town, so we were able to help them together with several members and a few investigators! We were glad to have something to do, because it's pretty difficult to find service projects in Sweden. People here are really helpful, so they don't like to accept help, and the state takes care of pretty much everything else, so it's tough to find ways to serve in the community. They're also suspicious of church groups, so if you do find service, it is just as a "good group of friends". It was awesome to have a service project on Saturday, and it definitely helped usher in the Christmas spirit!

As we've been sharing Light the World with the people here in Umeå, I've had some time to reflect on the life of service the Savior lived. Even in the most difficult of circumstances, he reached out to serve and lift others. As Matthew described, "he cast out the [evil] spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses." (Matthew 8:16-17) Each sickness and infirmity He healed then, and continues to heal today, were borne personally by Him. I am humbled to know that a God, the very creator of the world, would allow himself to be born in the most humble of circumstances and subject himself to the wickedness of the world. Yet despite all this, He did it for "the joy that was set before him" (Hebrews 12:2). He finds great joy, perfect joy, in helping us and promises the same if we will head his call to follow him. I encourage all to do so this Christmas season by participating in Light the World (lighttheworld.org) and giving has he gave. I add my witness that we will be filled with the joy of Christ and come closer to Him as we do so.

November 26, 2018 Thanksgiving Miracles

The house our branch president is renovating

Stacking firewood

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We sure did :) We were able do some service with our branch president by stacking cut down trees into a pile for firewood. They bought a 150 year old house out in the woods to renovate, so it's only source of heat is a wood-burning stove. We also had dinner with a member family that evening, and the dad is American! They're vegetarian though, so that is probably the only time in my life I'll have a vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner... It also wasn't really Thanksgiving themed, so we had soup instead! However, root bear doesn't exist here (all the Swedes that have tried it think it tastes like toothpaste for some reason...), but they got their hands on some and we made root bear floats to celebrate!

On Friday we got to fly down to Stockholm to go on exchanges. I was with Elder Steele, one of the assistants to the mission president, and we saw some amazing miracles together. We decided to go

Getting on the plane 

to Stockholm

out and visit someone the missionaries had previously taught, and the bus ride was approximately 30 minutes each way. When we went to get on the bus, we realized that we had forgotten to get a bus card for me from the mission office, so we tried to pay on the bus. The bus driver informed us that we couldn't pay on the bus, but he said I could stay on anyways. We were a bit surprised, but we decided to go for it. We were able to visit the person we had decided to go by, tract a building in the area, and talk to a few people on the street before we needed to head back to the apartment. The only problem was, I still didn't have a bus card.

While we waited at the bus stop, we said a prayer together and asked for a way home. When the bus came, we explained our situation to the bus driver, and he said we could pay via their app. We attempted to do so, but the transaction wouldn't work, so the bus driver told us not to worry about it and to enjoy the ride! Now, it may sound like the bus drivers in Stockholm are all just nice guys who don't really care too much, but it's quite the opposite. I've been on my fair share of buses there, and I can't tell you how many time I've seen people try to pay on the bus and the driver simply left them on the curb... It was truly an answer to our prayer and a miracle in every sense. The Lord needed us in that area, and while on those two bus rides, we were able to invite a total of seven people to learn more about the gospel, two of which accepted and scheduled appointments to do so. I know that the Lord truly answers our prayers.

On Saturday Elder Steele and I were able to do some tracting, and before going out to do so, I had a clear picture of a woman of a woman holding a child in her arms come to mind. We knew the Lord wanted us to find her, so we went out knowing we would. After tracting for a while, we knocked on a door and a lady opened the door holding her dog. It wasn't exactly a child, but we both knew it was the lady we were supposed to find. As we began talking to her, we found out she's American, and comes from a town just five minutes from where Elder Steele lived in Texas. She also told us it was a shame that her daughter wasn't home, because her school class is studying religion, and she had chosen to study about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They had seen the Book of Mormon Musical, and she was curious what we actually believe. We asked her if we could come back and teach them just that, and she was excited to accept our offer. They were also celebrating Thanksgiving that day, and she had made miniature pumpkin pies, so she gave us each one to try! It's an incredible privilege to be a part of the Lord's work and witness the might miracles He still performs today.

November 19, 2018 Find the one

The ocean inlet right by our apartment

We had zone conference this last week which was pretty incredible, and as President Youngberg was speaking, I was filled with a deep love for him. President Youngberg got to Sweden just one transfer before I did, so I've had the privilege of seeing how much the mission has changed over the last year and a half. When I got to Sweden, the mission was incredibly hardworking, but somewhat mechanical or robotic in it's approach. Well, that's not how President Youngberg works. I still recall in my very first zone conference President was up talking and then suddenly stopped. He said that there were two different directions he could take his message, and he was trying to listen to the spirit to know which one he should take. It's a moment I've never forgotten, and now I have countless others that illustrate this overarching quality in President Youngbergs character that has now become one shared by the mission. This zone conference we received more training and focused on how we can more powerfully testify to people we meet and invite them to learn about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

On Tuesday I had the chance to go on exchanges with Elder Thompson. He's in the same group as Elder Bills (there's only three in the whole group) so it was awesome to get to know him and get an idea of how Elder Bills is doing out there. We had a great day planned with three lessons and a member meal, but that morning all three lessons canceled. We figured that if three lessons had canceled, there was somebody out there the Lord really wanted us to find. We did a lot of finding work that day, and then we went to the member meal an hour early so we could tract beforehand. While we were tracting, we ended up finding a man named Tobias who said we could come back on Tuesday at 5:00 to talk about eternal families, and we also found a young couple with their son who said we could come back on Tuesday as well. We then went to the members house for dinner, and she had to reschedule as well... Literally everything we had planned that day fell through, but we have never been happier because we found the ones the Lord wanted us to find. Plus, we ended up going to back to the apartment at the end of the night and making quinoa salad together to top it all off :)

November 12, 2018 The Lord Will Provide. Sometimes With Smoothies...

It's been really foggy the past week, and the sun goes down at 

2:30 pm right now, so we haven't seen the sun in about 8-9 days. 

It has it's advantages though! We got to drive halfway to 

Skellefteå ut an hour and a half north of Umeå) for exchanges 

this week, and the drive was absolutely incredible.

On Saturday we got to teach a couple, Therese and Thommy, who have three kids. Elder Simmons tracted into them about 2 months ago, which was a complete miracle. Due to some strange circumstances, that was the only door they knocked on that evening in the whole neighborhood, yet it happened to be Therese who was interested in learning more about the church because her husband's parents are members in the branch. As we taught them about the restoration of the church, their youngest daughter, who's five years old, had quite a bit of energy which made it difficult for them to give full attention to the message. However, right as we were about to teach about the first vision, their daughter found something to do, which allowed the parents to focus fully on what we were teaching, and the spirit was highlighted by the peace and calm that had entered the room. They could clearly feel the spirit as we spoke, and they eagerly accepted the invitation to pray for a knowledge of the truth for themselves.

Yesterday morning I made a smoothie for breakfast, but unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) it turned out to be a lot more than I had expected, so it couldn't all fit in one glass and I had to grab a second. As I later washed my two smoothie glasses, the scripture Malachi 3:10 came into my mind, "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." While this scripture specifically talks about tithing, the principle is extended to each commandment the Lord gives us. As I thought on this, I was immediately filled with gratitude as I realized the great blessings the Lord is eager to bestow upon us, yet our inability to receive them all, just as my glass was unable to hold the smoothie I had prepared.

Just a few minutes after this experience, I got a text from a counselor in the branch presidency asking me to give a talk in sacrament meeting that day, and telling me that I could choose the topic. As I prayed about what I would speak on, the spirit brought the smoothie to my mind, and I became aware that the Lord had already prepared me for what I would speak on.

I spoke of the blessings God has in store for us and the gratitude that should fill our souls, but I also thought to share the key God gives us to expanding our spiritual glasses. He tells us in D&C 130:20-21, "There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated—And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated." When we keep the commandments of God, the blessings no longer stream past us, but we are able to obtain each one He would give us.

November 5, 2018 Sirrine. The Mystery Continues...

Umeå from the tower

The past week or two has brought to my attention a rather interesting cultural difference I'm not sure I've ever mentioned. With moving to a new branch comes the opportunity to introduce myself to new people, and every time I meet someone new I have the same experience. As I shake their hand they say, "Welcome to Umeå, Elder.... Uh, how do you pronounce your name?" The funny part is that they know Sirrine isn't Swedish, so they don't even try to pronounce it with Swedish pronunciation, but then they don't know how else to try, so they just ask instead. I usually end up repeating my name two or three times until they get it down, and a member explained to me that he remembers how to pronounce it because it rhymes with "divine", so I've been using that explanation ever since. The best part is that after they figure out how to pronounce it, the follow up question is always, without fail, "Where does that name come from?" I have to explain that despite much family history work, we have no idea, and I'm usually told that I should do some more.

In America, people may think it's an unusual name, but it's a rare occasion that someone asks where it's from because everybody has such a mix of ancestry that it's hard to say where someone is "from" when referring to roots that far back. However, here in Sweden, you get names like Svensson or Eriksson that are 100% Swedish, or other names that come purely from France, Germany, Norway, the middle east, etc. People here are used to having names tied directly with a land, so almost every person I meet, member or not, asks the question, and my companions get to hear the same explanation every time...

Today we went to a tower that stands atop a hill near our apartment. The view from the tower is absolutely incredible, and amazingly, you can even see Finland on a clear day. I took some pictures, but unfortunately it was a little too cloudy see it on the pictures...

We also got to go to a cemetery on Saturday for Alla helgons dag (All Saints Day). It's the first

weekend in November, and is pretty much the Swedish equivalent of Memorial day except instead of

Kyrkogården (the cemetery)

flags and flowers, everybody visits the graves of their relatives and lights candles. The pictures just can't do it justice, but the sight of literally thousands of candles flickering is absolutely incredible.

On Wednesday we got to teach Mikael, and as we entered the house we noticed his wife in the other room watching TV. We had just come from another appointment, so I had to use the bathroom, so I asked if I could do so and he directed me down the hallway. While in the bathroom, I thought of a line from Preach My Gospel so clearly and perfectly it was as if I was looking at the book in front of me. The line which came to my mind was "Before you begin, ask all who are present to join with you in the lesson." (pg 176) The thought almost came and went without any consideration, but then I realized that such a thought was directly from the spirit. I knew it was a prompting from the spirit, but the wife has never been interested in our message, so I have to admit that my next thought was "Oh no, if it's from the spirit, that means I have to do it..." The wife had already gone into the other room, and I thought it would be awkward to walk in there and invite her to join, but I knew I had to do so. I came into the kitchen and told Mikael that she was welcome to join us, but he replied, "Ah, I think she just wants to watch TV." I felt a little bad that I hadn't just gone directly and asked her myself, but then she came into the kitchen to grab their dog, so I seized the moment to invite her to join. A little to my surprise, she immediately sat down, forgetting the TV in the other room, and participated fully in the lesson as we taught the Plan of Salvation. Finding new people to teach isn't the easiest task in the world, but this was a manifestation that there are people being prepared to receive the gospel and the Lord will lead us to them.

Well, on Wednesday I left the the bright yellows and oranges of fall in Stockholm and came to the white wonderland of Umeå. The view out the window of the airplane is absolutely incredible, and if you look out one window you see Sweden, while if you look out the other side you see Finland in the

Map of my area!

distance. So I can now say I've seen Finland! It's been about 10 degrees here, so we've already gotten some good snow which makes everything beautiful, and the lake by our house is starting to freeze! I also really enjoy the fact that my area is now bigger than most missions. The Sweden Stockholm mission has big area boundaries in general, but now that I'm in the north I have about 1/8th of the country. Just to give you a little perspective, We have a member that lives six hours away by car and still lives well within our boundaries. Unfortunately we don't really have much reason to go that far away from the city, so I'll probably never get to go that far, but hey, at least I don't have to worry about going out of my boundaries ;)

Interestingly enough, I didn't get much time to enjoy Umeå before I found myself heading back to Stockholm... We had MLC (Missionary Leadership Council) on Monday (the reason

Elder Simmons and I

I'm emailing on Tuesday this week), so we flew down on Sunday night, had our meeting on Monday, and then flew back Monday evening. Flying in over Stockholm was incredible, and it was strange to get a bird's eye view of my last area! I couldn't pick out my apartment itself, but I saw the building just down the street :)

We have some great investigators right now, and it's been awesome to get to know the members here. A couple nights ago we decided to swing by a few people that Elder Simmons had tracted into, and one of the people we went, Michael, let us in and we had a great lesson with him. I didn't think too much about it at the time, because it was my first time meeting him, but Elder Simmons told me later that that's only the second time the missionaries have ever been let into his house (usually he just talks to them for a minute or two by the door) and now we have a return appointment set up to teach him the Plan of Salvation because he had several questions regarding it. The timing of our visit was truly a miracle, because the reason he let us in was because his wife suggested it, and it was also the first time she's ever been home. One of the best parts of missionary work is the little miracles like these, and they are also the things that bring us great joy in the gospel if we're willing to look for them.

October 22, 2018 From Fall to Winter in the Course of 60 min.

Strandvägen 

Well we've been enjoying an incredibly nice fall here in Stockholm, but it looks like it's time to break out the winter coat and brace for the winter. Yep, we had transfer calls last night, and after 6 wonderful months here in Stockholm, I'll be transferring to Umeå to serve as a zone leader. I'll be leaving on Wednesday and will be taking a plane, yes a plane, an hour north of Stockholm to Umeå (Umeå is in the northern part of Sweden called Norrland) where I will be with Elder Simmons. What does this mean? Well, I'm going to be seeing a lot less sun and a whole lot more snow, like a lot. While it's certainly much colder, I've heard a lot about Umeå from two of my past companions who served there, and I can't wait to get there because it sounds incredible. We had a chance to talk with the Elders who are there right now, and they saw the Northern Lights about two weeks ago, so I should get a few opportunities to witness them myself :)

I also look forward to being with Elder Simmons, who I don't know much about, but we happen to share the same birthday so I'm sure he's a great guy ;)

Elder Radford will be staying here in Stockholm, and we found out that he'll be training a new missionary! I'm excited for him to have the opportunity to do so, because that was probably the best experience of my mission so far, and there's no better place to train than Stockholm ;)

This last week we got to teach a lady, Helene, with our ward mission leader at the family history/institute center in Stockholm. The lesson went incredibly well, and afterward our ward mission leader (who also happens to be the ward family history specialist) asked her if she wanted to try some family history work. She was really excited to do so, so they started doing that together while we left to go to another lesson. We found out the next day that she apparently REALLY liked it and ended up spending 3.5 hours there... We had also invited her to pray to know if Joseph Smith truly saw God the Father and Jesus Christ, and she later said that it went really well. We'll be teaching her again tomorrow, and I can't wait to hear more about her experience!

We were also able to teach Henrik about the plan of salvation this week, and he accepted the invitation to be baptized on December 8! The spirit that was present while we taught him was incredible, and Elder Radford's drawing of the Plan of Salvation was right up to par. Henrik has become one of my best friends here in Stockholm, and it will be tough to leave him, but I'm excited to hear about his progression as Elder Radford and his companion continue to help him work towards baptism.

One of the many things I've learned on my mission is the truth of the Lord's words when he said, "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways." (Isaiah 55:8) Each time I've left an area has been incredibly difficult, but I've been amazed to see that every area, every transfer, has gotten better. It has only gotten better up to this point, and I have full confidence that it will continue to do so as I follow the plan of the Lord. I'm not entirely sure what lies ahead of me, but I can't wait to see what He has in store!

October 15, 2018 Kubb, Korv, and Good Company

The Lake we hiked around

Today for P-day we decided to go for a hike with the office elders and assistants. The fall colors here in Sweden are absolutely amazing, and we've been having incredibly good weather this year. I distinctly remember last October being pretty cold and rainy, which is normal, but this last week has

Roasting Korv

been in the 60's and absolutely perfect. We wanted to take advantage of the beautiful weather by going for a hike in the forest, but being here in Stockholm makes it a little difficult to find large expanses of untouched nature. We had to settle for a really big park with lots of nice trails, but eventually we found a place we could make a fire, roast some korv (hot dogs), and enjoy a nice game of Kubb together :)

In updated Timmy news, our neighbor reached out to us this week and asked if we could take Timmy for a walk Saturday evening because they were having a big birthday party. We were more than happy to do so, and when we picked him up we were able to meet the entire family, along with the cousins and grandma! Timmy was excited to see us, and apparently that spread to everyone else, because everyone really liked us. Timmy continues to surprise us with missionaries opportunities, and before you know it we might just take him out contacting with us ;)

A couple weeks ago we met Gabriels friend, Maylene, at a baptismal service in Gubbängen, and on Wednesday we were able to teach her! We had a recent convert, Molly, come with us to help teach, and the lesson was absolutely incredible. As we talked about the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we shared with her the experience of Alma, who suffered great anguish as he realized his many sins against God. In the midst of his anguish, he remembered the words of his father who taught him of

Elder Radford and I with office elders and assistants

Jesus Christ, and in desperation reached out to Him. The description he gives next is perhaps a few of the most beautiful verses in the Book of Mormon, for after calling on Christ he said, "And oh, what joy, and what marvelous light I did behold; yea, my soul was filled with joy as exceeding as was my pain! Yea, I say unto you, my son, that there could be nothing so exquisite and so bitter as were my pains. Yea, and again I say unto you, my son, that on the other hand, there can be nothing so exquisite and sweet as was my joy." (Alma 36:19-20) The message of Christ is the greatest message of hope to be found. Through Him, we can not only be forgiven, but we can receive the most exquisite joy we have will experience. I have experienced that joy, and it's the reason I'm here in Sweden today. Like Alma, "From that time even until now, I have labored without ceasing, that I might bring souls unto repentance; that I might bring them to taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste; that they might also be born of God, and be filled with the Holy Ghost." (Alma 36:24)
