GOD FORTSÄTTNING

Letter sent January 1, 2017:

Good week. good times. We taught a lady named Nina a few times this week. She is the absolute sweetest. We also taught a few other investigators. We went and made tacos with Rosa and the whole time she kept telling us how when we get home we can invite a boy over and teach him how to make tacos and that it would just be so romantic. I love her.

We spent new years eve with the Clarks. They have 4 kids, one on a mission in Singapore/Malaysia. We played the funnest game called "Jag är..jag gör.." (I am...I do..) It's like a charades game where you get two cards and one of them has a noun and the other has a verb. So you get like, "A violinist who is juggling" and have to act it out. Sometimes it was a bit sketchy in Swedish because we were just guessing what words mean. We had to be home at 22.00 because it was Sunday the next day but we were woken up by the fireworks at midnight anyways so we got to see a few of them. It was so loud! We heard today that all the power in the entire city went out for 40 minutes around 1.00. Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2016 has been so SO good. I was laying in bed as the fireworks were going off and I remembered that at that time last year we were having a snowball fight in front of the chapel in Täby. I remember thinking that 2016 would never end. That I was going to die. But hey, no it's here and ended! It's been the happiest year of my life. I've learned and grown so much. I've come to really know that God lives and that He loves me. I know that this is His church on the earth. I know that living the gospel is what brings true happiness into ones life. 

Whoa. like 10 minutes ago a girl in her 20's just walked into the church and wants to learn more. Look at that, miracles all the time. So excited for 2017 to be a year full of miracles! Sister McClatchie and I and all the sisters that we're over are recognizing God's miracles and tender mercies each day in the month of January. You all should do the same. God blesses us in so many ways. It's so amazing to look back on each day and see all the tender mercies and small things that have happened and recognize that it was God. I know He loves us. I know He's there. 

GOTT NYTT ÅR!!!!
