How is everyone doing? This week was a good one for sure! We have been seeing some fruits from our labor which is always nice! This week, we get 4 new investigators which is awesome! Even though we love Elder Gentry, and it was hard to send him away, it is nice to do missionary with a normal companionship. Our time together was a BLAST though. :)
Highlights from this week: I got a much need haircut, Elder Domino bought a ping-pong paddle, so it's about to get LIT. We did a lesson in Norwegian met a few new people including the biggest highlight of the week! So we were at the train station dropping off the Katrineholm elders after splits, and we got a self-referral text that said "Name: Hans (super common name here) and address: Drottninggatan 12 (the church's address) wants a missionary visit" Needless to say we were pretty bummed.. haha but then, we got a text saying, hey! is this the missionaries is Linköping Sweden? Yeah of course! Come to find out, it is this kid names Hans and he is from Colorado! He is on foreign exchange here. He met with the missionaries in Colorado and wants to start meeting again! It was honestly such a blessing. We went directly to the church to meet with him. He is seriously a stud! Super excited to keep meeting with him. :)
This week I was listening to the General Conference talk by Elder Holland called "Safety for the Soul" and there was a little bit in there that I loved. "For 179 years this book has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed, targeted and torn apart like perhaps no other book in modern religious history—perhaps like no other book in any religious history. And still it stands. Failed theories about its origins have been born and parroted and have died—from Ethan Smith to Solomon Spaulding to deranged paranoid to cunning genius. None of these frankly pathetic answers for this book has ever withstood examination because there is no other answer than the one Joseph gave as its young unlearned translator. In this I stand with my own great-grandfather, who said simply enough, “No wicked man could write such a book as this; and no good man would write it, unless it were true and he were commanded of God to do so.”
I just love Elder Holland. If this wasn't the work of the Lord, the whole thing would have collapsed a long time ago. This week I would invite you all to listen to this talk. It is one of my all time favorites! I know that if you will show the Lord you are willing to take time out of your day to listen to the words of one of his apostles he will bless you beyond measure. :)
I love you all and hope you have a great week! Don't forget to Keep the Faith! :)
Love,
Elder Baggett
