On Monday, our P-day, we went with Söderquists and Evensens to Nynäshamn. The train track is being repaired so we took the bus. Nynäshamn is a cute harbor town where a lot of private boats come in and out, plus Ferry boats taking passengers to other islands.
We walked around the church on the hill and then went inside. We walked up and down the main street looking in the cute shops. Bought an ice cream cone and sat in the sun at the harbor and watched the boats come and go, then ate an early dinner at Nynäs Röker. I had been told how wonderful the shrimp was so I ordered a bowl of shrimp.
Well, I have peeled shrimp before BUT not with the heads still on. I hated their little beady eyes looking at me!! It was good but a lot of work for the small amount of shrimp I got. Definitely not the Roof!! Dad had cold smoked salmon and it was good.
For our Swedish class this week we watched a video of cooking on the Götta Canal. It was fun to see the background of the video because we had been there but the cooking was nothing I would cook!! Dr. Oscarson (Pres. Oscarson’s son) and his family have returned to Provo. You will remember that he was here for several weeks with a group of students from BYU on a study abroad program.
Shannon’s father-in-law, Harmon Tobler, passed away this week. Papa T was a very generous man and he has helped many people in his life. Our hearts are sad but it has been a blessing to know him and we love Dan and his family so very much.
Our indexing is coming along but some of the records are so light you cannot get any information. We are both around 400 names now.
Friday night was our last night at the Young Adult Center in Stockholm. They have a missionary couple coming in two weeks for that assignment so they no longer need us to assist. We have really enjoyed going there and being with the wonderful young adults.
A young man from Latvia went with us this week. His name is Maxim Kornev and he is 23 and a returned missionary. He is the only member in his family and he went to Russia on his mission. His parents are Russian and that is the language spoken in their home. It was movie night at the center and we watched ‘Sister Act 2’. I think Chuck and I laughed the most as they had a hard time understanding the subtle humor! We did not get home until 10:30 (22:30).
This week at the temple the visiting saints have been from the Norway Mission-South end. They had enough people to do their own sessions and they were very busy. The regular sessions for the rest of us were very slow until Friday afternoon when the Norwegian saints joined with us and then we had big sessions. It was our wards turn to work the Tues 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM sessions so after we had completed our day shift we stayed for the 5:00 session. It is nice to be in the temple with ward members.
Saturday, Handen 1st ward had the temple assignment for the day. They had plenty of workers so we came home early. I cleaned the apartment, both of us did indexing, read The Work and the Glory (I am finished with vol. 4 and dad is finished with vol. 5); and then we went to the mall in Farsta with the Evensens and also had an early dinner.
Sunday was my week in Primary. When the three year olds get so excited to answer questions and blurt out talking Swedish I think how can they talk Swedish at 3 years of age and I can’t? Sunday was a beautiful, peaceful day. We Skyped the Packers and that was fun. We attended a birthday get together for Brother Sheen (missionary from Canada). There were 17 people in their little apartment. But we had a good time.
Well another week has come and gone! Time is going so fast. We pray for each one of you and enjoy your letters and emails. Thanks again for your support and prayers in our behalf. We love you!!
