(Hello, Hello, my friends!)
Awesome week this week! Our District leader gave us a challenge to try and tract at least one door everyday. So we have been doing a lot of knocking doors. Nice thing is though, the doors open out in Sweden (unlike the doors in the U.S. that open in) so it in nearly impossible to slam the door in our face! Not a whole ton of success has come out of it yet, but I know it will come if we keep working hard!
To explain my subject. So I have now been in Sweden of 4 and a half months and this week was the first that I got asked to give a talk in Sacrament meeting! Crazy huh?!? I was really nervous about it, but I went really well! No problem with the language, it just went smooth as butter which was really nice. :)
Oh yeah, another kind of big deal, I hit my 6 months this past week which is super exciting! Kind of crazy how time works on the mission. It just seems so slow! But as soon as you look back at haow for you have come, it feels like no time has gone by. Crazy to think that I am already 1/4 of the way though my mission! I'm just getting into the swing of this. I'm excited to continue to learn and grow and receive more spiritual experiences to cherish.
This past week, as I was studying for my talk, which was on the scriptures, I was thinking a lot about why it is important to have a testimony for yourself. You cannot always rely on your parents or your friends. So I would challenge you all to look at yourself and if you don't have a personal testimony about the Book of Mormon, do what you need to do to find that. If you will do that, I know that it will help your life dramatically!
I love you all and I hope you have a wonderful summer! And Happy Mid-Summer!
Love,
Elder Baggett

"Knocking doors" with Elder Blattman. The door is locked, so we call people through the port code. Pretty entertaining!
