Hej, hej, family! It's been a long day, but a great one. After flying through the night, we landed this morning in Stockholm and met the mission President & his wife. We'll spend two nights with them, & then we'll meet our new companions & be sent off to our assigned areas.
The hard part about today has been staying awake. Jet lag has the whole district feeling kind of queasy, & all of us have fallen asleep somewhere today. The fun part was street contacting. They armed each companionship with a Book of Mormon & some pass-along cards & turned us loose in the middle of Stockholm's downtown shopping area. In the end, none of the Book of Mormons were handed out, but we did give away a few pass-along cards. The hardest part of contacting is just getting someone to stand still long enough to hear the first sentence. Everyone's in such a hurry. I've also decided that cell phones are my new least favorite invention - along with headphones. It's impossible to share a message w/someone, or even get their attention when they're plugged in & tuned out. Tomorrow we'll go to Stockholm Temple, & then do more street contacting. It's going to be a great day.
I can't believe I'm actually here! After one day, I'm already in love w/this place. I love my life, & I love you.
Take care. Work hard. Pray hard. & Play hard.
Love, Syster Hillary Kiser
