Hej Hej,
Well another week down here at the MTC and things are going very smoothly now. We are all picking up the language very quickly now and beginning to have more meaningful lessons with the people that we teach.

| 1. Syster Eborn/Gabriella/Michaela |
Currently, we are teaching two "investigators" Michaela and Na. Just like with Gabriella, it is a role-play type situation but we have such a fun time preparing lessons and teaching in Swedish!
This week, Gabriella (who is actually Syster Eborn) became our teacher and it threw all of us off! She is a lot more strict than Syster Adamson because she has a teaching degree and is actually going to be a middle school history teacher starting in the fall. But, she really is awesome. She explains grammar concepts very well and we are having such a fun time doing so. Syster Eborn and Syster Adamson switch off every other day when the teach us because some days they have to play the investigator, and some days they have to teach us, so it's a great time.
We also now have what is called "TRC" (teaching resource center), where we teach members of the church who speak Swedish. We will have one every Wednesday and in 2 weeks we will have a skype lesson with a member in Stockholm!! How cool is that????
We are so pumped to just get over to Sweden and just hit the ground running. Aldste Bird received a letter yesterday that included an excerpt about the missionary work in Sweden. Because of the diligent efforts of missionaries in Sweden, there have been over 90 baptisms already this year with over 100 more planned. The work is really progressing and people are coming unto Christ.

| 2. Mina barn |
If you were wondering about the subject of the email, it means Poppa Steele and his children. Since I turn 20 in 2 months, and I have college experience, I help everyone grow and act as the "fatherly" figure for the group! I absolutely love it! I have the best district ever.
As far as activities go here at the MTC, we play lots of four square and sand volleyball. Elder Wayment and I absolutely kill it on the sand courts and we have such a fun time doing so. We played the Nords a few days ago for a little country rivalry and they just could not hang.
I hope everyone is doing well back at home or wherever else you may be. I pray for you all every day, family and friends.
