Peace out Jakobsberg

With Emiliano

Okay Mom, you better pull out your Swedish pronunciation guide and add a new city to your weather app because I'm transferring to Jönköping! I'm going to be companions with Sister Wilson. All I know about her is that she's from Australia and she's in the group just behind me so she just finished getting trained. I'm so excited! When I told the ward members in Jakobsberg they all said that Jönköping is "Sweden's Jerusalem" whatever that means. I'm very very excited to be with Sister Wilson too. I just think it will be so fun to figure out the language together since we both are pretty new. ALSO Syster Davis is coming to Jakobsberg! So that just is cute.

On Tuesday we finally went on splits with the sister training leaders. I went up to Uppsala to be with Sister Harkness. She was so fun to be with and it was soo warm that day. We had a great time together. She had to introduce me to all the swedish treat traditions of godis because Sister Crawford never did... Sister Harkness said she failed as my mother (trainer). (She's allowed to say these things because she was sister crawfords MTC companion). 

Also this week we taught Emilliano a few times and he had his baptismal interview! We taught him about missionary work and you can just tell that he's so excited to be able to go. I feel like this is the dream. To see somebody that I meet out here be able to prepare to go on a mission also. It took him all of 2 minutes to decide to go on a mission and at the end of the lesson he was praying and asking for help to prepare to go in 3 years. He's amazing. AND we took a picture with him this week so now you get to see him. He came to church on Sunday and he had a white shirt and tie on and it was just so adorable. 

Speaking of church...saddest sunday of my life. I LOVE Jakobsberg. Seriously. I love every human in this ward. But the bishop and his family said that they have a son who lives in Jönköping and his wife is about to have a baby so they'll come for the baby blessing. Yay! I'll get to see them again!

On Saturday Sister Beckstrand invited Syster Adamsson and I over for dinner and to help her paint a little. So we painted some doors at their home. (Mom, you would have been proud of my edging with no tape abilities around the doorknobs) Then we had dinner with President and Sister Beckstrand. Yum and so fun. It was so cool to just talk with them one on one and have them to ourselves for a night. I love them so much. They're so wonderful.

Basically yeah. There it was. My final week in Jacobs Mountain. I'm sad to be leaving but also excited to see what else exists out here in Sweden. I'll be in the Göteborg zone so I'll get to go there for zone conferences and stuff which I'm super pumped about. 

Kram,

Syster May
