Tere tere!!

MTC nädal seitse oli algustada! I've now got less than 5 MTC weeks left, which is scary! Mina olen hirmul! :S anyways let's not focus on that! ..TOMORROW my beautiful sister Lovisa is graduating from GYMNASIET (Swedish High School kind of!)  I am so stinking proud of her and I wish I could be there and celebrate with her, but we all know that's not possible but I will celebrate her from here and I will cheer for her all day long! (at least in my heart.. I don't want people to remember me as the crazy freaky Swede that walks around cheering at the MTC.) I'm proud to be her big sister and so very proud of the person she is:

Loving

Obedient

Valiant

Intelligent

Smart

Adorable

-Those are just a few words that describe her! There are plenty more!

I can't stress how much I love my family and how grateful I am to having been blessed with the parents and sisters I have! Leaving home and "life" for a year and a half can be scary, it is scary! but I know I have support from home (both family and  friends) and that makes it soooooo much easier! ..Speaking of which! I met my cousin Samuel at the temple today! I was so surprised to see him there, I was way happy! I'd been feeling a little lonely and seeing him just made my day! =)

So today is the Swedish National Day! ...I think I've only celebrated it once at home (last year at skansen with some of my good friends! good times!) I've never been much of a patriot, but today I feel like celebrating being a Swede! :) I don't know if that's a sign of me being americanized or if it's just me having a moment of homesickness! ;) It's really not that bad though.. yesterday we had a great devotional with Elder Marlin K Jensen! He a very motivating devotional and I'm super excited to get to work! :)

oops out of mailing time! got to go! have a great week!

Ma armastan teid!!
