So on Friday we got a call from an old member who lives in Sollefteå (2 hr. from Ö-vik) who wanted a blessing, so thus was planned the transferly visit to Sollefteå! It was super awesome, we listened to 7 talks from President (then Elder) Nelson, saw two mees, and an epic church that was super tall and built 1863.

But anyways, there we were in this old lady's apartment when she says "I know someone from the states who would like to meet you!" Five minutes after calling him we get a knock on the door, and in walks a man, wearing a Lone Peak Football sweatshirt! He's from Alpine Utah, and I knew his sons! I feel like it's safe to say that there are 7 people from Lone Peak in Sweden now, six of which are missionaries, two of which are companions that "just happened" to run into the one non-missionary in the bunch. In Sollefteå at that, no one lives in or visits Sollefteå!

This week we also got to take one of the Polethus with us for the day, and we had a blast! We got some killer glasses-selfies, and got fed some delicious Burmese food when we took him home.

I also ate a pizza with köttfärssås på, it was surprisingly very good. 

To top this great week off, I read a lot of Alma and President Nelson talks! Something I've noticed is that Alma always speaks of the same thing; faith, repentance, and baptism. He reminds me of a Hyrum Smith quote, "Preach the first principles of the Gospel—preach them over again: you will find that day after day new ideas and additional light concerning them will be revealed to you. You can enlarge upon them so as to comprehend them clearly. You will then be able to make them more plainly understood by those [you] teach." Really though, faith and repentance can never be over taught, and if you think that you understand them then you're missing something.

I've had a goal to read every Elder Nelson talk given in General Conference, and boy oh boy do I love him! I've learned a lot about the gospel, faith, families, random public surveys, and facts about the heart! To me he really stands as an example of seeking knowledge and accepting truth wherever it comes, he is a very scientific person and still loves the Savior and has such a strong testimony of His teachings, especially when it comes to the life after this.

Hope you all have a good week!
