This week was good! On Monday we just played games in the chapel with most of the other missionaries in our zone, so that was fun. We all took this personality test that says if you are a red, white, blue, or yellow personality. I'm white, haha.
On Wednesday we did companion exchanges with our district leader, so Elder Sweat came to my area for the day. I've known him for most of my mission so it was fun being on splits again. It was a pretty normal day otherwise though.
On Saturday we did exchanges with the zone leaders. We switched Friday night, and I went to the zone leaders' area, Handen, with Elder Johnson. We got to their apartment that night, and realized Elder Bradshaw had the phone charger, and the phone was at 3%. So the next morning we walked through the forest (since the train didn't leave for a long time) back to Västerhaninge to get the phone charger. Then we went back to Handen and started studies. The rest of the day was mostly swing-bys. Then in the evening we had a member dinner in the smallest house I've ever seen. It was literally about 10 feet by 25 feet. It was still pretty nice inside though. Then we switched back companions.
This week I was preparing a thought on Christ for district meeting, and I came across Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." The Atonement saves us from two kinds of death: spiritual and physical. Because of Jesus Christ, we will all resurrect and receive immortal bodies. But if we follow Him and keep His commandments, we can also receive forgiveness for our sins, and become clean and pure. I know that the Atonement is real and that Jesus Christ is our Savior.
I hope everyone has a great week!

Pictures!
1) A member told us about this road that has a great view of the ocean, so we went contacting there.
2) Me and the ocean. I really thought I was smiling more when Elder Banks took the picture, but it doesn't look like it.
3) Trees grow right out of the giant rocks
