How is life in the Promised Land? Things are good hear on the other side of the world! The weather is cooling down, I haven't seen a blue sky, or any sky for that matter, in like 2 weeks. And boy oh boy... the rain. It has rained for about a week straight now. I hated it at first, but then I thought about it, why do I hate this? I'm not going to ruin my clothes or my backpack or my shoes. Well my hair does take a beating... But why hate it? It makes everything that much more of an adventure. :)
Some highlights from this week! We had stake conference on Saturday and Sunday. We had it in this giant conference center type place called Svenska Mässan in Gothenburg. So that was a blast. We had a Guy from the Area 70 come. That was pretty cool. :) We met some new people, gave out some Books of Mormon, and got shut down a few times. haha
Funny story from this week, ( Background knowledge, Older Swedes usually don't have good English, but they try to speak to you anyway. Especially with us because they know we speak English.) So we stopped this lady on the street and we told her who we were and she looked at us and kept walking. As she walked away, in English said,"I am not interesting" Elder Scott and I couldn't help but just laugh. haha it was classic.
Spiritual Thought from this week. In the Saturday session of General Conference, the Stake Patriarch spoke. He said something that I really loved. "Try to make everyone happy, but start with yourself" and I love that! It is great to look outward and see how we can help others. That is what the Lord taught us to do! In PMG there is a quote I think it is in the Book of Mormon chapter. But is says, "You can't convert anyone past your own conversion" So I invite you all this week to look at yourself, see how you can become happier and more converted to the Gospel. Then turn outwards. I promise the closer you are to Christ the more desire you will have to share His Gospel. :)
I love you all so much! Thank you for the love and support and your prayers. :) Hope you all have a wonderful week! as always, Keep the Faith!
Love,
Elder Baggett
