We love our new bikes!!
Well, wow. That is super rad that you all got to meet Syster Jacobs sister and her family. I have heard so much about them and you all looked so cute together! Eternal families with eternal friends. I love life. I am looking forward to meeting them. My mind is starting to freak out about coming home. I can´t believe that I will be home in 2 1/2 months! Insane. And yeah, don´t worry about sending me any more packages, just send letters and I am happy. Syster Jacobs got her birthday card and was extremly happy about it. She could not stop talking about the artwork from Brian. Haha.
We just had one of the most amazing weeks that I have had while on my mission. We had TEN teaches with a member present! That means we taught our investigators with members present, which makes the work so much easier. I love using the members to help teach and they love it too! In fact, we now have three investigators with a baptismal date and the entire branch is very aware of them and they want to help us in any way possible. We have a little girl who is 11 years old who wants to be baptized and yesterday we brought her with us to the Jacobssons for dinner after church and their little daughter was so cute and helped us teach her on the trampoline outside, along with another member who actually referred us to this little girl to teach. The Spirit was so strong when this cute little ten year old was bearing her testimony about how the church was restored. We read the Joseph Smith account from the children´s Book of Mormon and then gave her her own copy of the book. That teach will be a teach that I will remember for the rest of my life. Sitting in the sun on the trampoline with our new Swedish friends speaking Swedish together and understanding and uplifting each other. The church is true! I really have never been so happy in my whole life.
Syster Jacobs birthday was a miracle day and we had so much success that day. We were blessed to have lunch with Bonnie, our American Grandma, and then head out to Hässelholm to teach a new convert, and right after that we taught a new chinese investigator that we have. After that we headed to the church to teach a19 year old girl who was a referral from a young woman in our Branch. We gave her a church tour and that was powerful and we asked her if she wanted to be baptized and she said yes! All because of her friends really good example. This Branch is truly amazing and we are getting so many referrals! Some times we don´t even know what to do with all the work that we have here. Haha. It´s a blessing. I love it here!! Then after that amazing teach we headed to a birthday dinner and they had another friend there for us to teach.. the cute little girl who wants to get baptized! We taught her with them and then we headed out with a member on another teach. What a full day. It was one of the best days ever!
We get to travel to Göteborg this weekend for zone conference!!! I am so excited to go back to Göteborg. It´s almost been a year since I was there. Hopefully we will be able to do some kind of work overs or spilts with the sisters there.
We had a really good week full of cute older ladies in our Branch. I don´t know what we have done but we sure have won over the hearts of the older ladies in this Branch. They love us and want us to come over every single week for lunch or dinner! Haha. The best part is that we can´t even understand some of them. But, who needs language to communicate? I am looking forward to Heaven where I will be able to talk to them and understand everything that they are saying to me. But, we are really having a grand old time with all of them. We have acquired about 5 to 6 Swedish, Danish, and American grandmas here. We are watched over. It is wonderful.
Well, I love you all! Don´t have much time today because a cute older couple in the Branch is taking us down south by the beach to enjoy this beautiful weather and summer time in Sweden!
Love, Talisa!
