Walking Through Fog

 Hello friends and family, this week has gone by so fast and I feel like time is speeding up, which I don't want to happen but it's doing it anyway!


This week was full of adventures! To start of, we went to a reptile place with some inactive members and that was so cool, one of them was really smart and knew a lot and had a little fun fact about almost all the reptile there! He also invited us over to see his snake, which I really want to see because I love holding snakes.

We have had a few lessons this week and I have been able to understand a lot more everyday and I am able to add what I want to say without feeling like I am taking away from the lesson. We have done so many role plays and they are paying off with some cool results of me knowing Swedish!

I was able to go on splits this week with Äldste Walker and that was really cool! We had a member meal that was so good. It was some sort of lamb patties that had some sauce on it that was very good. But before that we were walking and knocking on doors, which none of them said they were interested 😢, but we noticed that the fog was really low and that you could feel it on your face! It felt like it was raining a little after we noticed it but it was such a small amount that you didn't know it was there tell you noticed it, I thought that was cool.

I have found a joy for reading the Book of Mormon. It is so cool and you learn something new every time you read it! I recently read about King Noah and Abinadi and it is so cool to just read the words Abinadi spoke and I can only wish to Speak with that much power and I hope that I will be able to get to that point! 

Love you all so much, 
Äldste Paxton

  Hello everyone! (8/22/2019) What an amazing week it has been.  I have had a lot of good experiences!  We have been learning the language constantly for the past week and I don't think it is going to change any time soon.  It is crazy how much you feel the spirit here.  I have felt his love for me every day that I have been here. I love my companions, because I got lucky and have 2, and I love my district!  Our district is a lot bigger then I thought it would be. We have 15 Elders and 1 Sister.  We have an Elder from Finland, New Zealand, and a Sister from Switzerland. I have had a good time and love being here.   Message of the week comes from 2 Nephi 9:45 "O, my beloved brethren, turn away from your sins; shake off the achains of him that would bind you fast; come unto that God who is the brock of your salvation." I read this and realized that as we come toward God, He will bless us and help us throught hard times. Love you and miss y...

  Monday: We decided to make some cookies and give them to some of the people that we were teaching and that was super cool to see their faces light up and be able to show them our love for them! We then had an FHE lesson with a member and we watched one of the talks from the Christmas devotional and it was really good and a great reminder of how we can always be improving and trying our best to be more like the Savior! Tuesday: Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse... lies!! There was a lot of stirring because this is when the swedish people all celebrate Christmas and open presents! We spent the night with the Branch President and his family and that was so fun! We watched Kalle Anka and then had some really good food! We then started singing all of these songs and it was sooooooo cool! We would just start singing a song that then we had all these instruments that would just start playing and you felt like the lead...
