The Race Has Begun!

Hejsan hejsan!!

Alright.. I honestly have felt this week is like the beginning of a new race. I have tons of energy and I know my goal and I am sprinting to the end. I love the first presidency message given in the Liahona this month about always being in the middle. I like to think that my life is like a relay race like a Ragnar, and I have certain legs that I have to run. Some are harder and longer and others are shorter and easier but I'm not alone and really once your done with one leg your not actually finished. There are more legs to be run because a ragnar is really long! The best part though is your not in the race alone and when you sit to rest you're still busy helping your team mate run their leg and helping to cheer them on. That talk gave me peace in that I am not needing to run so fast that I can't keep up and kill myself because time just goes faster.. there will be more legs to be run my whole life! I can just learn to enjoy all of them I have and love them for their differences too. 

Wow what an amazing time I have had so far with S.J here in Västerhaninge. She has a huge drive to just keep going. I really really love her and have been learning a lot from her. She is super cute and willing to guide or be guided. We have a super good time working together. Things just clicked. We have so much potential here in Västerhaninge! I feel like there is a lot that we can bring to the table here and spice things up a little bit. She loves new ideas and is willing to try new things. I'm very thankful for her. We have a super progressive investigator. Princella.. She is wonderful and came to our ward yesterday with her sambo. We really need them to get married is pretty much the set back. Right now they really aren't sure they want to get married even thought they have a 5 year old son and are planning to have a 2nd child right now. That was funny to me. Her sambo is name Frans and the cool thing is he is just as positive! He prayed for us the first time Saturday night when we had a member dinner and they came along. Man I love the members here already. Everyone is just on fire when it comes to inviting friends and helping out with missionary work.


I don't have tons of time to write today but just so you know everything is going so so well. Have a wonderful week!! Thank you so much everyone!! I love being a missionary and I love love love the gospel!!
