Some pictures of Stockholm:
Last Monday, I officially ate a part of one of the biggest pizzas I've ever seen (I'll email a picture later). Adam wanted to take me and Sister Hauglid out to dinner and let me say that this pizza was delicious.
We have a new elder since Elder Muirbrook was transferred to be the zone leader of another zone. Our new elder is an Elder Schroeder.
A couple of updates on the people we teach:
Collins - we decided on a new baptismal date for January. We hope by then Collins will be able to save enough money to make it down to church once in December and once in January (when he can also be baptized).
Fredrik (recent convert) - is making a lot of progress! We went through the baptismal interview questions again and that helped him quite a bit.
Moses (recent convert) - has been having an extremely difficult time since we was denied permission to stay in Sweden. He has an appeal hearing in three weeks, so he still has a chance. Otherwise he'll stay at least until he turns 18. It helps that he has a strong testimony of God and Christ =) It is helping him make it through a lot better than it would have been otherwise.
Preach My Gospel - I've been making my way through the commandments lesson and something that stuck out to me was that the 10 commandments are all really about relationships: how we respect and treat God and others. It really has just been the two great commandments "Love God" and "Love thy neighbor as thyself" from the beginning =)
Romans 4:18 - It's just a phrase, but "who against hope believed in hope" stuck out to me. I just really like it.
Love,
Allie
