Happy Birthday to Äldste Johnson (February 9)

The tradition in the Sweden Stockholm Mission is to honor our birthday-ees with a Maribou chocolate bar and traditional birthday song:

Ja, må han leva

Ja, må han leva

Ja, må han leva uti hundrade år;

Javisst skall han leva

Javisst skall han leva

Javisst skall han leva uti hundrade år.

Och när han har levat

Och när han har levat

Och när han har levat uti hundrade år

Ja, då skall han skutas

Ja, då skall han skjutas

Ja, då skall han skjutas på skottkärra fram

(spoken by leader) Ettfyrfaldigt leve för födelsedagsbarnet.

(Everyone shouts) Hurra! Hurra! Hurra! Hurra!

A special photo moment

We so love the couples we have serving in our Mission. We welcome in and say good-bye all too soon. The Pearsons and Jepsons are going home at the end of this month and the Nelsons have just arrived. We are all trying our best! Some of the fun times are when we are together enjoying the Mission Spirit and each other's company.

Our neighbor is ready for Church

Each Sunday we check with Else Mari to see if she is planning to attend Church with us at the Täby Ward. The Office elders have been helping her with yard and home projects over the past six months. She lives in Enebyberg near the Mission Office. She is not a member, but is very friendly to the Church. She would like to tutor Syster Johnson in learning Swedish. Someday.....

New Year's Eve at the Mission Home

We are happy to be on our Mission in 2009!

We had a surprise visit from our former Mission President & his wife (Karlssons) on New Year's eve. The Pearsons, Lewis's, Hansons, Johnsons, Wrights and Rosevears, along with President and Sister Anderson made a nice evening to welcome in the New Year.
