Week of March 15th

Happy Birthday Brent!
On our P-day we went with the Söderquists to the Nordiska Musset in Stockholm. We spent five hours in this museum and it was so interesting.
It has displays of Swedish trends and traditions, of homes, clothes, fashions, manners and customs. As you enter the museum there is a huge statue of King Gustof Vase. Sweden has awesome museums.
Our ward had their RS Birthday Social. It involved both wards here in Västerhaninge plus the sisters here from Norway. It was a fun evening of talents to show how unique each sister is. The talents were displayed, performed, eaten or talked about. My talent was listening!
St Patrick’s Day is not celebrated here in Sweden, but I wore green anyway! I made potato and meatball soup with homemade bread and as we sat down to eat I realized I had forgotten to add the meatballs! But, I did remember to add them to the left over’s!
We have had awesome weather most of this week. Blue sky and we saw the sun all day! The weather was uplifting and the temperature was in the 40’s. I have joined the people in worshiping (loving) the sun!!!
Saturday we had the Stockholm Stake Relief Society come for a day at the temple. There were 60-70 sisters and they were so excited to be together in the temple. We had double sessions plus all areas of the temple were busy. They had a luncheon here in the guesthouse and Sister Oscarson talked to them. I met their Stake President, President Nyman, but he did not seem too anxious to see if we had the same genealogy! Maybe next time when he does not have so much on his mind!
Each Sunday in priesthood meeting they just call on someone to give the lesson so it is to each man’s advantage to come prepared. Chuck got his turn last Sunday and they said he did a good job. He is really getting his opportunities to speak Swedish.
This week the traveling group is from Norway. What wonderful, dedicated saints to come for a week and do four sessions a day. It takes them about 12 hours to get to Stockholm.
This Sunday (28th) all of Europe goes on Day Light Savings Time.
As you can tell we are busy and happy. We love having a p-day and seeing some of the neat things around us. But we do love serving in the temple and the peace that is enjoyed there. Hope all is well with each of you and thanks again for your prayers, love and support. We are blessed with such an awesome family and awesome friends. God bless you.
