There has been a lot going on but I have little time and a headache and allergies from an adventure we went on last night. You all might know that yesterday was the LONGEST DAY in Sweden. Which means that the sun set for 30 seconds? So the office elders decided to put a tarp out on the front yard of the office and camp outside! It was a blast! Elder Overstreet took pictures throughout the night so I will get those to ya'll!
This week has been amazing! Adam is up two ______ in the book of mormon! (Oh no, I didn't mispell two... He has read through the Book of Mormon TWICE!) What a kid! He has been reading through Gospel Principles now and getting the real doctrine (not the kind from the internet) in his mind! So that is a blessing! We took Emma and Adam to the temple after the Stake Conference broadcast and it was AMAZING! As we taught about the Plan of Salvation she thought the doctrine of the family was very "attractive" to her. So showing her the temple was great! We had the privilege to see that Elder Olsson was there! So Margaretha, Emma, and Adam took a short lesson from him! It was amazing!
We were also able to teach Pansy (also from China) and as we walked in we just said hello. As we began teaching we expained that we were going to teach about how she could have the Holy Ghost more in her life. We opened up to Moroni 10:5 and she just started crying! And she just told us, sometimes the truth is too hard to accept! She wasn't talking about the truthfulness of the Gospel, but she commented about things that were happening in her life. And then we were able to testify that no matter what would happen to her Jesus Christ and his Gospel, would help her. Because of these humbling circumstances she has been a lot more open to our message. At the end of the lesson she told us that she has a friend who wants to learn about Jesus Christ as well! Miracles are happening! We are trying our best with the members, and the Lord has blessed us as we do go out and continue to find someone to baptize! We ran into this man who is from Kazakstan (added that one to my list) named Slava and he is awesome. We contacted him on the street, and I think it was the first contact of my mission where we contacted, he said yes and walked us to his house to teach him. He wanted his life changed and corrected. What better than the Atonement and all that accompanies IT?! He is great and prepared! the stake conference broadcast was amazing where we were able to hear from Syster Beck, Per G Malm, Elder Bednar and President Eyring! What a spiritual feast, in summary they had about 3 main ideas, Protect the Family, Follow the prophet, and don't let your wealth prevent your spiritual growth. they were AMAZING message. Elder Bednar said Now is the Time about 7 times in his talk (referring to follow the prophet) and that has been a motto in the mission as a testimony of the second harvest, that thousands of swedes will come into the church! What more of a witness need we? I look forward to see the changed President and Syster Newell will bring to the mission and see this mission explode because of the many "hook-ups" he has here in Sweden. We gave our message and showed our video at the adult session before the broadcast and people were in tears! Today we learned how to make some juice out of flowers... it's called "flädder saft" So I might be bringing some seeds home so we can grow a tree to make this juice! I love this work! And I love you all!
Love,
Elder Webster

ONE MORE THING! Remember how I went to teach the brazilian guy (Kleber)? We taught him with a brazilian member (it was a blast) and he decided to be baptized! On July 2nd! That day happens to be the day we will be in town with the new mission president and he asked if I could baptize him! A brazilian convert!!!! What a blessing!
