All Saints Day and Halloween

Ok, I don't have a ton of time so I'm going to just get into it!

This week was an awesome one with two holidays that we celebrated! It was Halloween and Alla Helgons Dag (all saints day) and both were really good! For Halloween we had a big ward party and it was awesome! We made some pizzas that looked like pumpkins and dressed up as missionaries. We made it exciting by turning all of out cloths backwards though! It was really fun and there were a ton of people there and tons of games, food, and activities. It turned out great! The other holiday was all saints day which was on Saturday. Pretty much everyone goes to graveyards and lights candles and puts them on the gravestones. We visited a cemetary that nightt and it was beautiful and really there was a really powerful feeling there. It was beautiful to see such respect shown and the reverence of the people there. It was a great experience!

This week I also went on exchanges with the Elders in Kungsbacka and we tracted. It was the night of Halloween and we were knocking on some doors. And some people were actually giving us candy! It was really funny and we had some great conversations with people! It was awesome trick or treat without having to dress up this time haha!

Last week I told a story about a woman whose door we knocked on and we were able to find out that she had been on a foreign exchange in Colorado with a family who is friends with my companion's family. Pretty crazy! We went back this week and were able to talk to her for a while and she told us that she would love to have us over for dinner! So things are going well there and it is just so cool!

It has been a great week overall! I hope that the coming week will be good for you all as well! have an awesome one!

  1. Precious brother in Christ,if you,really,love God and Truth,it is important you too come to know a well known documented and verified truth(although,cheaters try to deny it by telling silly lies);that is the book of Mormon is totally worthless(Never a Tribe of Israel went to the Americas to give birth to the Natives-the DNA test denies it-and far less the Lord JESUS. truly,the so called original manuscript with the "pearl of great price" were mere lists of obituaries written in the old language of Egypt,which Smith had purchased in a library and not discovered in a library,and the "apostles" in Salt Lake know it well;by the way,'cause Hyrum and Joseph were Freemasons many rituals followed in the temples come from masonry). We have,already,a perfect testament,which you can find it in the GOSPEL(Galatians 1,6-9,Jude 3-4,2 Corinthians 11,13-15). May the Grace and the Love of our Heavenly Father find a warm welcome in your soul,so that his holy Spirit can protect you from deception,sin and hell(Luke 12,1-12);until the day-if,you turn earnestly and with humility to our lord JESUS to get his personal revelation with his forgiveness and holy freedom;and,so,to taste his fellowship with his peace and mercy-you too 'll enter the joy of Paradise. In god's love and Truth
