MY COUSIN GOT HIS MISSION CALL!!

 

I couldn't sleep wednesday night, cause we were going to go check email the next morning and see where he got called, but he got it on thrusday so I didnt know until today!  He is going to Porto Alegre South Brazil Mission speaking portuguese.  I'm very excited for him.  He sent me some very interesting stats.  in his area there is: Literacy - 94.3%  and White - 79.6%.  Sounds more white then sweden!  seriously!!!  there are thousands and thousands of immigrants here.  I'm not sure what it is exactly but yeah! 

 

Wow time goes fast!

 

Confrence was great huh!  we got to see all of the sessions except sunday afternoon.  It was super good.  I liked Äldste Christoffersons talk and President Uchtdorfs talk, sunday morning, and Äldste Holland was super good too.  I dont have my notes with me and so thats all i can really talk about that now.

other important things this week.  We caught a pet toad.  it was pretty cool!!  Being the artist that i am i took a ton of pictures of him.  I was trying to get some really artistic pictures.  My camera is a pretty awesome camera for being a pretty basic one.  THANKS MOM AND DAD FOR IT!  i got it for christmas a few years ago.  It has really been awesome.

 

We are going to meet Erica tonight.... we'll see how that goes.  She has had alot of contravercial stuff from her friends and hopefully we can clerify it.  I think the most important scripture for her is actually in the introduction to the Book of Mormon, in the last 3-4 paragraphs.  Basically if the BoM is true then this is Gods only true church on earth, and it is right for EVERYONE-- but then after you get a testimony of it, the question is are you willing to follow it?  so we'll see.  We were weekly planning and that was about the same lesson for almost all of our investigators.  kinda crazy...

 

we are getting some new investigators.  We taught 2 black guys from africa who are super awesome.  hopefully it continues with them.  They came to confrence and it was really dumb actually because they usually get it in english and swedish, in diffrent rooms, and english wasnt working, so my companion had to translate from Swedish back to english.... pretty stupid.  We should have just prayed and asked the tech dude to try again.  I'm sure it would have been way easier.  

 

We have lots to do here in Kristianstad!  It is great!  Keep us busy! 

 

It is warming up here!  which is a double edged swoard if you know what i mean.  I cannot wait to get some mesh on and some short sleve shirts.  I have some pants i found in the appartment that i'm going to wear every day all day and just destroy them instead of my suits.  and they are pretty good.  

 

Miss ya'll lots!

 

Follow the prophets and DO what they told us to in confrence!  they really are chosen from God!
