Hej!
Sorry for not emailing last week, my companion had to go and dislocate his finger as we were out playing basketball in Gubbängen and so we spent the majority of our P-day in a hospital getting everything popped back into place and x-rayed. A cool experience that happened at the hospital though was whenever Elder Derr had to get his x-ray. The nurse told us that I wasn't allowed to go into the room when elder derr got his x ray, but then I was like no can you find a way for me to get in there because we are companions and she was like no you're not allowed, but then I said just give me a protective vest can I please be with him, we have a rule where we need to stay together. And then the lady saw our name badge and then immediately said that I could come in and when she let us in, she asked us a ton of questions about the church and we had a great missionary opportunity right there as äldste Derr got his x ray! Even though it probably would have been okay if Elder Derr got the x ray by himself, I was able to witness that obedience truly does bring blessings.

Transfers just happened and Elder Derr is going to Borlääääääääänge! My new companion is going to be äldste Lewis, who I was companions with a year ago in Gävle. It is so awesome to be with a previous companion and that we can see how much we have learned over the past year.
Elder Derr and I baked a cake this past week for the cake competion ward activity. While there weren't that many people that showed up, we still took the prize for the best tasting cake. It was a chocolate/gingerbread double layer cake with homemade frosting and strawberries and raspberries. I'm learning some great skills out here in Sweden!
At our ward council this past week, we were getting all the ward leaders absolutely fired up because of the millions of miracles that we experience on a daily basis here in Täby. The people that we are teaching are super prepared as well and not too far from baptism, just need a little bit more time to study and pray. But one of the coolest things, was the young men's president started talking about how he really wants to help the young men in their testimony and in their ability to answer questions and so they are going to spend time in their classes studying from the scriptures and out of preach my gospel to answer people's questions about the church. This was so cool for us to hear because about 6 weeks ago, we had set a goal of getting more swedes to church and one of the plans was to work closely with the young men. How? We had no idea, but now we had our answer and so we are on board with the whole ward, especially the young men's president to get the ball rolling even faster! It's so great to be here in Täby and to experience so many miracles.
Well, time to get prepared for the new missionaries that are coming in this week! Talk to you later everyone! Ha det bra!
