March 11, 2019 Another great week:)

The first church building in Stockholm

We had a great week here! Today for P-day we went to the best (and pretty much only) Mexican restaurant in Stockholm with a member! On the way there, we just happened to walk by the the very first church building our church had in Sweden. It's no longer owned by the church, but it still has a beehive above the door and says The church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! After lunch we went to the biggest cemetery in Sweden, called Skågskyrkogården, which is apparently on the list of "world heritages". It was pretty neat!

We had a lesson with Leo on Tuesday along with the Office Elders, so they will now be teaching him because he actually lives in their area. They taught him 2 more times this week, and he went to institute along with a few other young single adults, and he absolutely loves all of it! On Tuesday we invited him to pray to know if Joseph

At the cemetery.

Smith is a prophet of God, and later that night he texted us telling he had done so and that he had gotten an incredible feeling and knows that Joseph Smith was truly a prophet of God. Everything is going well for his baptism on March 23 :)

Yesterday I had the chance to speak in church! It was interesting to think back to the first time I gave a talk in Swedish and compare it to yesterday's talk. Man, the Lord has truly blessed me with an ability to speak the language.

We also had a neat experience this week standing at a bus stop. We asked a girl there for some help with Swedish, and ended up having a really great conversation with her. As it turns out, she knows a couple members of the church who had served missions in England! She didn't know too much about the church herself, so we now have contact to tell her some more!

Another experience we had was also at a bus stop talking to a young man. He straight up told us that he likes learning about other religions so we told him it was his lucky day because we like to teach people about just that! We hope to be able to meet him this week, so we're praying that his schedule aligns!

As said, it's been a great week! We see miracles every day and can't help but enjoy every day!
