That's "Merry Christmas" in Swedish.    We had AP Exchanges this week hosted in our area and we got all the missionaries and some members to go caroling in the high street then split off every direction to talk to people.    We taught an institute lesson and had a secret Santa. I got a can of beans and a can of sardines. (We were running low so I'm incredibly grateful or else we would have had to resolve to our meager rations of oats— I'm totally kidding)    We went to Bishop Olssen's place for Christmas Eve. Thought I had escaped the days where I had to sit on Santa's lap but I couldn't get out of that one there.   We had 3 Roast dinners over Christmas Eve and Christmas and I hit my limit.   It has been a fun week. We've been able to teach our friend Carrie and she is doing amazing. Keep praying for her please!   Hope everyone else is having a great holiday season! Merry Christmas.      Luke 2       ...

I'm back.    (What I meant to send the past 2 weeks):   First snow of the season! It's the fluffy kind that perfectly shapes into a ball or builds a snowman. This transfer has been great so far.    Writing for 2 busy weeks is hard so I'll try and sum it up. We got to celebrate early for Christmas by going to the temple. Elder Palm is a record-fast runner and so we've been going for runs in the huge cricket field next to our flat. It was fun this morning because we made a million tracks in the snow.    We have 4 Districts to work with so we've had a couple more District Councils to attend to and having a bigger zone has been so much fun. We started teaching the Cousin of one of our Recent Converts and he wants to be baptized. There's another lady named Carrie that brought her daughter to church that we have been teaching. She could use some prayers though; she's going through some big life struggles at the moment. The gospel is just what she needs! ...
