| Us and the Sisters with Elder Carlsson in Stocholm |
On Monday we flew down to Stockholm for MLC, and it just so happened that one of the young men in the ward, who had just been set apart as Elder Carlsson, was heading to the MTC (he'll be serving in Russia) at the same time. We got to escort him down to the mission home in Stockholm where he spent the night and then went on to Salt Lake. Half the branch showed up at the airport in Umeå to say goodbye, and I have to say, it was really cool to be a missionary and yet see a missionary off like that and help him on the first leg of his journey.

On Saturday we had our branch Christmas party! We had placed a heavy emphasis on inviting everybody we could, and we ended up with a great turn out. We had a few people we're teaching show up, and one of them, Ann, brought a friend along. They both asked a lot of questions during dinner, and her friend, Annette, was impressed by our commitment to come to Sweden for two years to share the gospel. We shared with her how the gospel has blessed us in our lives, which ended up in us teaching her the restoration right then and there and giving her a Book of Mormon. She said she would like to meet us again to learn more, but will be busy until the New Year. We'll be keeping her in our prayers, and can't wait to teach her more :)
Well, we're heading down to Stockholm again tonight. We will be on exchanges tomorrow, and then we have zone conference combined with the Stockholm Zone one Wednesday. On Thursday I will
