I'm moving to Sundsvall and I'm going to miss Borlänge!

The time for transfers has now come again. I will be moving from Borlänge to Sundsvall! Sundsvall is a city a couple hours North of Borlänge and then over along the coast. It is actually part of the Norrland Zone, the zone that goes furthest north in the mission. It is crazy to be moving! I am going to really miss Borlänge and all of the people here! Life would certainly be easier if goodbyes weren't so hard! But I am not gone yet, so let me hop into the week.

We've been keeping busy with a lot of finding time and a lot of teaching. Things have been going really well! Things have been going well with teaching. I'll talk about two notable investigators. We have been teaching someone who is a youngish Swedish guy (about 25-30) and we've been teaching him for a while now. He is sincere and willing to learn. He reads in the Book of Mormon often and prays as well. Haha, and then on the opposite end of the spectrum we have been teaching a Swedish woman who is actaully 86! We have two other members in our ward, both in their 80s, that have been following along on lessons. Haha, so it is us two missionaries teaching an 86 year old woman with the help of two people in their 80s! It is awesome!

We went of splits in Uppsala this week and it went really well! We did a lot, including teaching an English class, me helping with a correlation meeting (I was not helpful at all because I didn't know the area or anyone), and some really good tracting! It was a fun final time going on splits there!

The last big thing of note is probably how our Sunday was yesterday. We got up, ready, and then were at church in time for when it started (10 am). After church we went and gave the sacrament to an older man in the ward, and then quickly biked to another member where we were fed lunch and gave a blessing. Directly after that we biked through the rain to the train station and travelled to a nearby city called Falun to teach a lesson, then came back. We had enough time to quickly plan for and then teach a lesson to the 86 year old woman. After that, a member told us they had made us dinner to come pick up, so we stopped by them, chatted for a few minutes, then biked home. By then it was 8:30pm and the day was done. It was an exciting day full of biking here and there, teaching lessons, and getting fed. It turned out to be a great day!

Well, I think that's about it! The Swedish holiday of Midsommar is this weekend, so I am looking forward to that! I hope you all have a wonderful week!
