Prophecies

sorry.. just giving you a heads up in case you are on right now! I'll be writing... just tell me whats been up this past week. (This email was written by surprise... we didn't know when his p-day would be so we had to scramble to write him while he was still on... he didn't get the news about Oliver till four days later... which is probably a good thing... don't need to worry him.)

wait... testing for what?? what are you SAYING? WHAT AM I NOT TO WORRY ABOUT?!?!?!?

haha... but seriously... whats up?

Sorry, i'm afraid this is how it's going to be while i'm here in the Office. P-days will switch pretty often. These upcoming 2 weeks we have Zone Conferences! Crazy how instead of being the little 13 year old boy sleeping in the back of the chapel to wait for Zone conference to be over... I'm on the other side... at the front of the chapel looking forward to give the Zone Conference messages! Our message is amazing! At the beginning of this transfer Elder Jorgensen and I knew exactly what we wanted to give our message about. That is The Re-dedicatory prayer for the Land of Sweden that the, then, Elder Monson gave for the Swedish people and missionaries!

We will be talking about the things that we need to do as missionaries, to bring to pass the prophecies of President Monson. I attached the prayer so you all can read and look at it yourselves. We will be focusing on 5 things. 1. Meeting with bishop 2. Member teaches 3. Progress records 4. Member referrals 5. Prayers for those in the ward, and ward's prayers for their missionaries by name.

This will happen throughout the whole country! Just imagine, Every family praying for the missionaries in their wards by name, and every missionary praying for their members to have missionary experience! The work is going to go forward in Sweden!

Some inspiring quotes,

"We know that when this attitude of cooperation permeates the missionaries and the members, the leaders of the stake and the leaders of the missions will be in a position to direct the efforts in such a way that the objectives will become realities." Our objectives (standards of excellence) is to baptize weekly! We look forward to the day when this will happen.

"Let this apply uppermost to the land of Sweden this day, let this be the day for Sweden, the time for dedication, and the hour where a great upsurge in the work will take place." Indeed, it will!

"...that this nation may indeed be an example to others, of that which can take place when the membership of the Church, the missionaries assigned, and the watchful care of the Lord all combine to bring about the desired result." It is through the Lord that will allow this to happen!

Anyways... we are really looking forward to the messages that the mission will be giving. This week we were really blessed! We have been praying that we would be able to find a place in the area that great success could occur. The beginning weeks had been quite humbling, the Lord was letting us know that he is the one that provides the miracle. And this week we were blessed! We have found families who are interested, some from Vietnam, Phillipines, Mongolia, SWEDEN, Poland, All over! the super cool thing about this area that we found is that it is a bunch of tall apartment buildings! And in each one of the 6 buildings there is a member that lives in each of them! Easy to get fellowshippers as well! Golden!

I'm not sure when I will be writing next but just to be safe, ya'll should write on Sunday or Monday of next week. Also, Mother's day call... we should probably start to figure out a time and if it is still the 2962114 number I will call!

Love, you all!
