We had new missionaries come this week (15 of them) that we fed after their temple session on Wednesday. Our work at the temple continues to be a strength and blessing in our lives. Friday we had a great lunch at the mission office with two elders going home and their families. We invited Elder Jensen and his parents to dinner Friday evening as they were staying at the temple guest home. He was the elder who picked us up at the Stockholm Airport when we arrived to begin our mission here in Sweden. We have a special place in our heart for him.

Saturday we took Bro. and Sis. Ensign to the Hotorget to shop and look around, then we went to Gamla Stan (old town), saw the changing of the guard at the Royal Palace and walked through an old, huge cemetery that is beautifully kept.

After church today we had dinner at Bro. and Sis. Simonson's home. It was a fantastic Swedish meal. They had 4 US couples come share the delicious meal with them. The bread was called stompa bread and she fixed an "out of this world" rhubarb dessert topped with homemade parfait ice cream.
