Sorry about last week, it was a crazy day. So I am writing this first today so I don't run out of time. :) BIG NEWS!! Transfer week! I will officially be ending my mission here in Sundsvall and the legendary elder Dumas will be coming here to finish me off. I've met him a few times before. Beast. Haha Elder Nelson will be heading to the promised land of Göteborg!! Lucky man. :) anyways. Let's tell you what happened this week. Last Monday, the reason we ran out of time to write was because the sisters were hanging out with a member and wanted us to come with. This member is a certified capoeira(this Brazilian martial arts thing) teacher so we did some with her! It was pretty sweet!! Good workout too. Haha I will sent pics and videos. That what happened Monday. The rest of the week was pretty normal. Nothing too crazy happened. Actually! We taught a good load of lessons this week!! Like 8 or something. So that was really cool. We taught everything from the restoration to repentance and the gift of the holy ghost. Man I love teaching. Just seeing people understanding and their excitement to change is so cool. :) love it. We were able to extend a baptismal date with a fellow named Mikael. For the 15 Dec!! He is so awesome. He is so excited. :) we had a member meal, we had coordination meeting with our awesome ward mission leader. It was Sister Nilssons birthday. So I guess there was stuff that happened this week. :) we sure do have a good time here. I love Sundsvall!!
Funny story from this week, we were out tracting, and it was like 7 or so in the evening. It was dark and we were kinda tired, but laughing and having a good time. Elder Nelson takes this door and the guy answers and just about as confident and you can be says, "God morgon!" which means good morning! Haha the guys face was priceless. Elder Nelson was good about it and laughed it off and kept talking We talked to him for a solid 10 minutes. Really nice guy! So moral of the story, if you don't have anything to say, say good morning. :)
This week, I guess in the past 2 weeks or so I have started the Book of Mormon from the beginning and am going to finish before I get home. I absolutely love the Book of Mormon. The simple truth it testifies of the spirit that it brings. I LOVE IT. But yesterday, I came across a passage. It's actually my mission scripture! 2 Nephi 25:26 "And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins." and it was a good reminder to me that everything we are doing is for Christ! The church is his and I testify of that. That is why there is such a focus on the name of his church. I love the gospel and I love Christ!! :) if there is one thing I have come to learn on my mission is Christ lives, and he loves each and every one of us. :)
Well, I hope y'all have a great week! Love you tons. Keep the Faith and do what you know to be right and you will be blessed for it! You hear from me soon!
Love,
Elder Baggett
