Crazy week. And nervous to bits. (Swe/Eng)

Kära älskade ni den här veckan har varit så otroligt händelserik! Så mycket har hänt. 

De största sakerna som hänt:

~ Jag blev igår kallad som Sister Training Leader. Jag vet inte helt och hållet vad det innebär än, det är ett ganska nytt kall eftersom vi nyligen har fått så många systermissionärer här. Det här är the second transfer som det "kallet" har funnits. Vi är fyra systrar i missionen som har den "titeln" och som åker runt till de olika systrarna och går på exchanges ett par gånger i veckan för att stötta, hjälpa och se hur de kan arbeta bättre i området och hjälpa dem utvecklas. Eller något sånt. Jag vet ärligt talat inte varför jag kallades till det då jag inte har varit ute lika länge som de andra systrarna som har kallats som det meeeeen det kommer bli väldigt spännande!

~Vi träffade ännu en golden investigator denna veckan. Glynis. 61 är gammal. Har förlorat sin enda son och sin man under de senaste 6 åren men hon är så otroligt fantastisk! Så stark tro. 

~ Jag och Sister Pacis stannar kvar i området!! Mer info next week.

Älskar er och jag älskar att vara här!!

Dear loved ones,  this week has been so incredibly busy! So much has happened.

The biggest things that happened:

~ Yesterday I was called as Sister Training Leader. I do not know entirely what it means yet, it is a fairly new calling, because we have recently received so many sister missionaries here. This is the second transfer as the "calling" has been existing. We are four sisters in the mission that has the "title"  that will be going around to the different sisters and go on exchanges a couple of times a week to support, assist and see how they can work better in the area and help them to develop. Or something like that. I honestly do not know why I was called to it when I have not been out in the field as long as the other sisters who have been called, buuuut it will be very exciting.

~ We've met another golden investigator this week. Glynis. 61 is old. Has lost her only son and her husband for the last 6 years, but she is so incredibly awesome! Strong faith.

~ I and Sister Pacis remain in the area! More info next week.

Love you and I love being here!

My letter to Pres. Pilkington:
Mitt brev till Pres. Pilkington:


Dear President Pilkington,

this has been an amazing week full of emotions, hard work and miracles. Just like it should be. 

Glynis was a huge miracle and she just seems to be so prepared. We had a lesson with her last night and she said that she feels light this is true that it is right and that after church she felt like she was "one with herself". She has a few concerns about getting to church every Sunday but nothing to keep her from progressing. She is willing to be baptized on the 10th of August! She is amazing. So much faith, so nice and so humble.

We also me with a man named Guy and he accepted a baptismal date. We have passed him over to the elders but he definitely has a lot of potential! We brought Christabel with us to teach him and she was perfect. They have very similar background and she was able to bear her own testimony and afterwards she was talking about how she would love to be a missionary!

Sister Pacis is doing so well. I've realized she is a very emotional person and it has taken me quite some time to learn how to handle it, to help her with it and to encourage her. She has so much love and Spirit within her and she is a hard worker. This past week I can see how instead of me just pushing and lifting her, she has started to push and lift me as well. I am so happy that I can stay with her because I know that I have a lot to learn from her still. Her english is improving daily and she has such a big desire to grow and to become better! 

I am excited about the assignment that is ahead. Sister training leader or whatever the name of it is. I am excited and nervous. Not feeling like I really have any experience to share with anyone or anything to teach anyone else but I know that if this is what I am called to do then I can and I will do it. I will do my best to magnify my calling. And I know that I will learn more from it than anyone else!
