Hey family! First off I love you all so much! Seeing that I only get to communicate with you guys once a week I feel like I don't stress that enough! You guys are seriously the best family I could every ask for! I miss you so much but it's a good thing not a sad thing! So the title of this email means "and it came to pass" that was mom's title to her email to me last week so I figured I'd give you a little Swedish. ha ha So, och det hände sig, jag såg en jluspelare alldeles över mitt huvud... ha ha That's the start of the first vision.
Anyways. So Mom, thank you so much for my Easter package! Holy cow that thing was heavy! ha ha All the treats have been so good and the bubbles have been a nice stress reliever :) No worries though, I've shared all of it with my district! They have loved it! So my branch presidency is President Waits, Brother Baker and Brother Mangum. Brother Mangum says he's worked with Chad down at work, Dad! He does custom houses I believe? Or maybe heated driveways. I cant remember. I'm pretty sure he deals with the radiant heat though. Yes the Elder from Cedar Hills is in my district, his name is Elder Sagers. He actually went to elementary school with Megan! Even more of a small world! ha ha My new comps are elders Maness and Ouimette. they are both good. Elder Maness is a great missionary and I get along with him great. So Easter sounds like it was fun! I bet the girlies had a blast finding all the eggs! That's too bad that the tradition is ending at Grandma Keetch's but it kinda makes sense. It was probably time. I definitely missed the Easter picnic! But, to be completely honest, it didn't even register to me that I missed it until like Monday. ha ha They don't give us any time here to think about anything else other than the next lesson we are going to teach! The MTC is definitely starting to be a little ground hog's dayish, but in a good way! ha ha If that makes sense? I am progressing so much in both the language and in my knowledge of the gospel. it's great! A really cool experience I had this week was that we were teaching our "investigator" Lars... wait, have I told you guys about our investigators yet?? So on our third day in the MTC we were given an "investigator" who we were expected to teach in entirely Swedish... yeah scary! ha ha Anyways, long story short, our investigators are our teachers portraying real investigators that they had on their missions. So we now have three that we teach multiple times a week, in all Swedish. So Lars, aka Brother Winegar, is a young father who's wife just killed herself via drug overdose and is not very religious in any way. Yeah, not the easiest situation to deal with in English, let alone Swedish! So out of our first three lessons we only had one that had actually connected to him. The rest had been complete disasters. So on Monday we go in to teach him for the fourth time and it went great! We taught him on Mormons Bok and why it can help him. It was so simple but so great and the spirit was very strong there! And the coolest thing! I didn't use a single note! It was a 30 minute lesson in all Swedish. NO NOTES! I was really humbled. That was a huge testament to me of the gift of tongues and of the spirit. Well my time is just about up, have fun in St. George next weekend! That concert should be awesome! Definitely go take Megs to lunch. She loves you all so much and she's a poor college student, she needs a free meal. ha ha Oh and tell Tyson to email me! The mutt has slacked off the past two weeks! ha ha I'm just teasing. Well fam, I'm really sorry I don't think I answer hardly any of your questions but I try! Half an hour is not even close to enough time! Well, until next week, jag älskar ni så mycket! (I love you all so much!) Oh! I almost forgot! The native swedes that are in the mtc right now came and visited us on Saturday! It was awesome! Edler Kääriä, Elder Nilsson and Elder Bertilson. The first two are going to Finland and the last one is going to Michigan. They are so cool and came and taught us slang and all about Sweden it was sweet! ha ha Anyways, just wanted to include that! I love you guys!
