Hej!
Well transfers have now snuck up on me. My time in Täby as assistant to President Youngberg has now come to a close. I will now be headed to the wonderful city of Uppsala for the last 3 months of my mission. My new companion is going to be Äldste Norin, one of the only Swedes in the mission! I'm about to go to straight Swedish and I couldn't be more excited. I hope to learn a lot from him, and not just when it comes to the language.
General conference was a success, and I say success because I got answers to my questions. The questions that I wanted an answer to had a lot to do with prayer and also about missionary work and many of the talks covered just those topics and I am thankful for the great leaders of the church that continue to inspire us to be better. President Nelsons words were so powerful! "The Lord needs selfless men who put the welfare of others ahead of their own."
One of my favorite experiences was this past week with the guy that we saw in Vaxholm last week. Gustaf decided to follow us around as we knocked on doors and visited a few others. There was a certain member and another man that wasn't a member that I have been trying to visit the past 5 months and after many attempts I gave up for a time. But then with Gustaf, he seemed to be the magic trick as both this member and other man we were trying to teach were home! We had a super nice visit with both of them and we got some lessons set up right from it. As I said goodbye to Gustaf yesterday I told him that I knew it was no coincidence we have known each other for 1.5 years. I knew him back in Gävle and worked closely with him in Täby. He then thanked me for all I did for him as he started his whole mission process after meeting me and my companions in Gävle. It was heartwarming and I look forward to the day he gets his mission call.
