Hejsan!!! Hej på dig!!!!!
This past week, the Danes (Missionaries going to Denmark) left and it was pretty sad for us because of how close we got to them. We would have story nights and just have the best time of our lives. I have truly made some lifelong friends here in the MTC. One of them, Elder Bailey, has grandparents serving in Sweden starting in December so I am super excited to meet them!!
So this past week has been an absolute blast! Last friday we received our flight plans for Sweden and it has just made us more and more excited for our mission in Sverige! So we leave the MTC monday morning at the crack of dawn (3:30 am), catch a flight to JFK in New York, and then on from New York to Sverige! We will arrive to Sweden at 7am Tuesday morning. Nej sova till Sverige (No sleep till Sweden) is what we have been saying/singing this past week, so it's a great time.

We finished our last language lesson on Saturday so we have been reviewing in class ever since. It's crazy how much we have learned in the 5 weeks we've been here. Lessons are coming by easier and easier, and I'm beginning to just automatically think of a Swedish word rather than an English word. It's absolutely crazy what miracles happen here in the MTC!
We've had really unique opportunities to serve here in the MTC this past week. We were able to be hosts for the MTC Open House and we also hosted new missionaries. We were able to meet so many awesome people and really practice "talking to everyone". The very last person on the MTC tour Saturday night was a missionary who came home from Sweden literally two days before. So by the end of the tour this guy had a whole posse of Swedish missionaries following him around and just asking him questions. It was such a cool experience.
I love you all and I hope you all find success in your lives the next 2 years while I'm in Sweden. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers as I serve others!
One final thought I had to share with all of you is: Have courage. It's Worth It. A lot of times in life we will have to make tough decisions and in the end we have to have the courage to choose the right. If it was easy, everyone would do it. So, be courageous, stand out from the crowd, make the right decisions. I am cheering you all on!
