The Streets of Stockholm

Things are finally getting into more of a routine, which is a beautiful thing! And the jet lag is gone, which is also very appreciated. The week has been really good for us in Stockholm. Our investigators are progressing, the weather hasn't been too cold or anything, and all the beautiful leaves on the trees have started to fall. It looks amazing right now!

Our investigator Brandon is doing well and is still on track for his baptismal date on Nov 4. Hopefully things keeps going well! He has been coming to institute and FHE, and he also came to church this week. And the church was awesome! It was the Primary Program in the ward here, and it was the most adorable thing I've seen. It was just a bunch of little kids singing Primary songs in Swedish and it was so cute! I think our investigator thought it was good also.

We have also been having some success with a less active we are working with, and this week was the first week he came to church in a while! And we have finally started to help an old investigator who hadn't really progressed much want to come to church and learn more, so that's good too!

Sweden is a really similar place to the US in some ways, but also really different in others. For instance, it feels like all the cars here are super nice and expensive! We see super expensive cars all the time, and we also see some other kinda strange sights. For instance, we have seen several taxis that are Teslas! It is just so strange to see a Tesla used as a taxi, but it isn't uncommon. And also it seems like all the garbage trucks and a ton of construction trucks are Mercedes, and it is just strange to see!

Things are going well, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to invite the people here to come unto Christ and to help them do that. I can see the hand of God in the work here as we have worked with people and with the members.

Until next week,
Elder Nelson
