Week 71 - Valborg

Hello everyone! 
Hope you all have had a great week! Now that we are a new and improved technology mission, I am emailing you right now from my phone. Hahaha how weird is that? This week has been one of the most spiritual weeks of my mission so far! And it has been amazing. :) Highlights: we got much needed hair cuts, we did some service for a member, we went on exchanges I was with elder Jarman here in Stockholm. Taught some good lessons then had a lot of time for finding! And that was only till Thursday! Now here comes the big hitter. Thursday night we got our phones so that was pretty cool. We had zone conference Friday which, as always, was super good and uplifting.  Saturday we had 3 member meals in a row.. I felt like complete trash after that. Lol then Sunday we had 1 hour church and then had a fireside with Elder and Sister Renlund! Monday we  had a special missionary meeting with them again. :) and yesterday was a holiday called Valborg. It's where everyone lights huge fires to burn away winter and welcome in spring. That was tons of fun! So yes, fantastic week to say the least! :)

Cool story from this week, so Sunday we had the fireside with Elder and Sister Renlund and it was so amazing! It was so cool to see all of the members that came. We were in a chapel that fits about 600 and about 800 members came! And not to mention we were able to hear an apostle of the Lord. :) he talked a lot about the church and how sometimes it can seem like we're on a little bit of a boat of misfits but no matter who is on the boat or even who is steering we are all making out way back home. Together. We need to support each other and love each other. We're all in this Together! It doesn't do any good to tear each other down. Moral of the story, "37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" Matthew 22

I was thinking back to what I could share with y'all as a spiritual thought for the week. And I thought back to what we talked about at zone conference. We did a lot of technology training, but then we talked a lot about Christ. President Youngberg asked us the question, "who is Christ to you?" And as we shared our thoughts and answers the spirit filled the room! It was an amazing experience. So I would invite you all this week to think about who Christ is to you. And try and think of him continually throughout the week and see how it can affect you for the better. :)

I love you all so so so much! And I hope you have a great week. And you will hear from me soon! Don't forget to keep the faith. :)

Love, 
Elder Baggett

This is Lisbeth Sanström. My Aunt Linnea's Mom's cousin.  (That's a mouth full)  Basically we're related! haha

From The Momma: I teach 2nd grade with Mary and she went on a trip to Finland to study their school system and opted for an extra two days in Sweden. How amazing that the Swedish ward she attended was Elder Baggett's  ward!!
She said he is doing great! He looks so good!
