It's a bit of a long story that begins a long, long time ago...
Early August, 2016:
I was packing for my mission, and made the decision to get a coat in Sweden. That way I save luggage room and I can get a nice Swedish coat!
Late September 2016:
I arrive in Sweden and get sent to the southernmost area there is. It is not that cold at all, I'm doing just fine with a standard white shirt and tie.
Mid October 2016:
It's a little colder, but not much. My companion has convinced me to get a jacket (Not having a jacket was distracting everyone we contacted), so I bought the cheapest windbreaker I could find at a second-hand store. Didn't do much, but it looked like it did. Also, Elder Shanks arrives from the MTC, also to be trained in Lund by Elder Murri.

November 2016:
It's still getting colder, but yet to be cold. My windbreaker is plenty fine, most of the time it's unzipped.
December 2016:
Still colder, but not cold. I wore gloves and a beanie one day, but took them off as soon as we walked outside and stuffed them into my bag. My new companion, Elder Fawcett, starts to pressure me a little into buying a winter coat.
January 1st, 2017:
Elder Shanks goes home and his companion comes to tri-pan with us! However, Elder Murri also joins the "You should get a coat" team (Founded by my dad, member-ed by three of my companions, the senior couple in Lund, several Swedes on the street, and several families in the ward). Also, winter sales start, so almost everything is super cheap.
January 2nd, 2017:
To capitalize on winter sales we go to the mall in Malmö. I finally cave in a get a nice(?) winter coat from a Swedish brand that was 50% off and very, very, very, unnecessarily warm. I'll attach a picture of the bag it was put in.

The end
Well, getting a coat and the events that happened the 1st are about the biggest things that happened this week. Also, in PMG is a super good personal study idea that I highly recomend, it's the one about D&C 20 in the end of the chapter about the Book of Mormon. Good stuff.
