General Conference has of course been rather good the past couple of days. I still haven't been able to see the Sunday afternoon session, but I hope to sometime this week =) Of course it's a little more difficult to watch it live when it is aired at 10pm at night haha... but it was nice to being able to watch at least the morning sessions live.
I'll admit that it was a bit of a surreal experience to hear Elder Ballard talk about missionaries he met in Europe, knowing that I was one of them. Of course we talk about the importance of missionaries and members working together quite regularly while on a mission. I really liked all of the first presidency's messages and Elder Holland's talk. Okay... I liked a lot of conference.
I got to watch it in English at the church (they had it playing in Swedish in the chapel and in english in the primary room). The Västerås elders came down on Sunday to watch it with us (since their branch in Västerås wasn't broadcasting conference) and we had candy, cookies, and we may have even made a cake (it was one of the Västerås elders' birthday.) which we shared of course with the Örebro elders and various other men who attended priesthood yesterday morning (they had rebroadcasted it at 11 am our time).
In other news, Syster Spjut, my companion in Västerhaninge, is now officially engaged! I'm super excited for her =)
Moses decided he wants to be baptized! He said that he's been praying about it and he feels like that he has received the answer that this church is true and that he needs to be baptized because that is what God wants him to do. He's definitely ready now. We're trying to get everything ready so he can be baptized this Saturday. I'll keep you updated on it next week.
We've been keeping contact with our other investigators and recent converts, but as a whole, just about everyone has been super busy. so we haven't been able to meet. We hope this week will be better.
Love you all!
