Sweden!!

Syster Randall has been in Sweden for about 2 weeks now.  She called us from the airport en route to Sweden, and then we got to Skype with her on Mother's Day just a few days after her arrival in her new home.  Her first assignment will be Katrineholm, a smaller town where she says people are more willing to talk to them on the streets than they might be in the big city of Stockholm.

Krystina's companion is Syster Haynes, a fun and optimistic girl from Salt Lake City.  When we saw her for a moment while Skyping with Krystina, Syster Haynes said that Tina is doing great and is a "rockstar".  Krystina writes that they are grateful to be working with each other because many of the other companionship's don't get along as well or don't encourage each other the way that Tina and Syster Haynes do.  What a blessing for her to have a great trainer!  Sister Haynes has been on her mission since January.  :)

Krystina had one of her first experiences eating something a little different on her mission, though it probably could have been much worse than this: "I had my first kebab pizza. Kebab pizza is famous here. Kebab is like...well its suppose to be lamb meat, but its kinda like mystery meat. The have it on a huge reel, and they just cut it off and put it on your pizza haha.  Then they put french fries on top.i only got half with french fries ha It was ok... haha. I'll stick with cheese pizza while I'm here."

No pictures this time as I am unable to get them loaded onto Blogger, but I'll try again soon.
