Week 64 - Hej!

Hey everyone! 

Super good week this week! Feeling super good. Mentally, Physically Spiritually and all of the other -ally's. :) haha we had a ton of things that happened and I don't have a ton of time, so we will try to make this quick and not miss anything. SO, highlights, we had zone conference on Tuesday. Went super well! We talked a lot about the new phones that we will be getting next transfer! So that was cool. Wednesday we had institute, and I have a crazy story from that. So stay tuned! Thursday, we Elder Steele and I went back to high school! Details to come on that as well. Friday, nothing too crazy happened, Saturday, we had a day full of members! Lunch AND dinner so that was nice. :) Then Sunday we had ward conference and a member meal! So good, really good week I would say! 

Since I am lazy and Elder Steele already typed it up you get to hear this story from his point of view. :)

"On Wednesday nights we have dinner at the YSA center and then usually stay for institute right afterwards if an investigator or a less active we are working with comes. Well, as we started eating dinner, I was eating pretty fast. I was hungry and the food was way good so I wasn't just going to take little bites. We'll, I'm pretty sure you all know where this is going...I started choking and I start panicking. I pick up my glass of water and start chugging down water but all of it is getting stuck in my throat because there's food in it. I quickly stand up, pushing my chair back and dropping my fork on my plate. I look at Elder Baggett and he's just like "umm...what?" And then I point to my throat and he still isn't understanding and then I remember back to elementary school where we learned the international sign of choking and so I put both hands around my neck and then Elder Baggett springs into action. My life has already flashed before my eyes and this point. But, just as I thought I was done for, my comp comes behind me, doing the Heimlich Maneuver, saving my life in front of about 20 other people. Thank goodness for Elder Baggett!"

Crazy stuff! S/O to Kathy and Tawnee for teaching me how to save lives.

Then on Thursday, Elder Steele and I got invited to go and teach and one of the private high schools here! Here in Sweden they have religion class all through high school. And right now, they are studying Christianity and specifically Mormonism. So we made up a little presentation and not going to lie, I was pretty freaking nervous. This is a class of 25 or so 18 year olds that speak a lot better Swedish than I do. But we got in there and just got to work! We were able to talk about everything we wanted to and they asked a lot of really good questions that we were able to answer. So that was really fun. Glad we got the opportunity to do that. :)

The other day I was studying spiritual gifts and that was really cool something that was really cool that stuck out to me more that usual, was that there are sooo many gifts that we receive from our Heavenly father and not two gifts are the same, but there isn't one that is better than all the rest. He loves us all so much and that is why he gives us these things so we can be blessed as well as those around us. One cool thing that I did, was I read my Patriarchal blessing and I found those things that Heavenly Father has blessed me this week, wrote them all down and I picked two to work on this week! He has blessed us with so much and we need to be prepared to use those traits and talents when the time comes. :)

Hope you all have a wonderful week! Love you all tonssss! Don't forget to keep the faith. :)

Cheers,

Elder Baggett

Us and our High School class :)
