One afternoon after our shift we stayed and helped two couples from America do family sealings. It was a great experience doing family names and to witness the emotions of those whose names we were doing.
This week I did the ’V’ in Swedish for the first time. Witnessed a tender mercy from the Lord as I even understood what I was saying. Yes, and shed a few tears of gratitude when I realized what had happened.
Went to the Röd Cros, a 2nd hand store to get some decorations for our little 18" tree. I found a big Santa and some darling tiny white candles in holders with Christmas Trees painted on them.
For Thanksgiving we went to Pre and Sys Oscarson’s house. We all brought something for the meal and it was very good. We had a couple and a single sister from Norway and then also Pre Syvänen and his wife who had never had Thanksgiving. They wanted to know why the meat was called turkey when that was a country and what the dressing was made out of.
One day after serving in the temple, Pres. and Syster Oscarson took us to the building where the church met for meetings for many years during the early years of the church in Sweden.
We went to an Advent Concert, at the state church, to officially bring in the Christmas season. Tradition starts 4 weeks before Christmas and they light a candle each week. The concert had several choirs and the acoustics of the building were wonderful for they used no microphones. It was absolutely amazing and their voices were so clear.Äldste och Syster Rose
