Okay, let's just start off with last Monday night. We went over to May-Elin's for family home evening with all the girls and it was so fun. I don't know if I've said, but she makes cakes. And cupcakes. Galore. For birthday, weddings, you name it. She's a pro. Anyway, she made me a going away cake and it was ADORABLE. It was teeny and had a bear on top with all these flowers and I was just dying that someone made me a little personalized cake. Plus it tasted like heaven so that was a definite bonus.
On Tuesday we went and had lunch with Rosa and taught her. I LOVE ROSA. She is my little mamita here. When we were saying goodbye she teared up and looked away and my heart just shattered. I already miss my Malmö people so much. Then Tuesday night we went and taught the sweetest old lady. Remember our "fourth floor last door" lady. This was her. The lesson was so good and spirit led and she talked about how much guilt she feels from things she did when she was younger and how no matter what she's done she can't get rid of it. So we talked a lot about Jesus Christ and how the fullness of the gospel is back on the earth. And that baptism and the sacrament finns and it was just so good. Then at the end she said she didn't want to own the Book of Mormon so that was a major disappointment. But we still felt so good about the lesson. After the lesson we had dinner at Bellevue Pizzeria. Bellevues is the best pizza joint in sweden. hands down. Little pizzerias are Swedens thing. They are EVERYWHERE. They're all owned and run by immigrants and there's at least one on every street in Sweden.
Wednesday morning per request Syster McClatchie and I went on a run through Kungsparken. Kungsparken was my life there in Malmö those first few months and I have so many good memories there. Turns out I had already packed my running shoes so while Syster McClatchie ran I just took a walk down memory lane. And cried. And remembered all the funny and weird things that happened there. Obsessed.
I am a miracle worker and packed all my stuff into my three suitcases. And they were even liftable. Still feeling very proud about this. My train left at about one in the afternoon so I headed up to Stockholm. Sister Wilson and Sister Shin were there to meet Syster Davis and I at the station. Our trains got in at like the exact same time at the same platform so it was just ideal. Then we started traveling to Täby. On the first tunnelbana our phone died. Then the tunnelbana hit some strange bump and everyone got jostled and some lady kind of fell on Syster Davis and then when we stood back up a bunch of stuff was out of sister Davis's purse and the phone was gone. So. We got off to a good start. Luckily we had been in Täby a few times before so we knew how to get to Täby centrum. Then we were stranded. Haha. We asked this guy to borrow his phone and called the elders in Täby (they are the office elders and the assistants to president so they have cars hollah) and they came and picked us up and brought us to our apartment. But hey, that guy who we borrowed the phone from, his name is Muse and he came to church yesterday and we're meeting with him tonight. So like, God works in mysterious ways ya?
Anyways, we got to the apartment building and really thought our apartment was on the 3rd floor. Tried to unlock it. Definitely the 4th floor. Sorry if we scared you, neighbors.
So we went phoneless for a couple days. Found out täby is the size of a shoebox and had district meeting. Then we got a phone and things really got started. We met with a couple of the old sisters investigators and they are awesome! One is named Mustafa and we're going to meet with him again tonight. He's great.
We had church on Sunday and it was just strong. The ward here is strong. You can feel it when you come in. It was great. There is the sweetest new member, Marimba. Basically everyone on the mission has heard of her and I get to serve in her ward now! She taught her first ever relief society lesson yesterday and it was PERFECT. Oh my. She is so sweet and small. I already love her. I wish everyone could have been there. The way the whole relief society was just there for her even though she was so nervous. It was beautiful.

So yeah. I love Täby. I love Syster Davis. We're having so much fun being reunited.
My nights are spent cleaning the Täby apartment and I LOVE it. I get to just organize everything and chuck so much stuff out. It's so much better already. I feel like I should have a tv show or something.
Also it is currently snowing. It's beautiful.
Life is so good.
Syster May
