A White Christmas!

God Jul!
This week has been pretty crazy! It started out with Zone Conference! It was pretty miraculous actually. All of Monday and Tuesday morning Elder Winegar and I both had some stomach aches. His went up and mine went down. And Monday night we drove from Malmö to Göteborg which is a 2 1/2 hour drive. That morning as we woke up we had some breakfast, said a prayer, asked the Lord to enable us to deliver our message with smiles on our faces and we really were blessed. It's pretty crazy when you have to prepare a zone conference over phone and then arrive the morning of to set it up. But our theme was "The Extra Mile" talked about a consecrated life and used Elder Christofferson's talk as base to our message. That heavenly Father has given us 2 gifts. Time, and choice, the ability to choose what we do with our time. So we thought it was really relevant for missionary work. We have just begun the 3 month transfer where it just so happens to be the coldest and the darkest part of the year. So we decided to talk about Choosing to be happy, choosing to plan out the lords time, and as we improve upon these 2 gifts, that we would see the fruit of our labors! We both have had a testimony about that during our missions so it turned out very well. We talked about Giving, Gifts, and things of that nature. Because that's how the Lord's Work and Glory are brought to pass... he Gave his Son, who gave his life, so that if we give ours for Him, we will receive the Greatest Gift!
Michael Okafor (Nigeria) was baptized on Saturday by a recent convert named John. John Orji has now baptized 4 recent converts so we like to call him John the Baptist! I thought it was funny... On sunday he was confirmed by Elder Winegar and it was a great experience!
Well... I will be talking to you guys on saturday. Most likely 12:30 your time! Just be home at 11 - 2 and I will call in between those times!

I love you guys! Merry christmas! God Jul!

Love,
