The last week has gone fairly well. We've been able to meet with a few people, go to a zone conference down in Malmö, and continue to work here in Växjö. Overall, the week's been pretty good, and we've been able to try to contact a lot of people.
Probably the most exciting thing this week has been a two zone conference down in Malmö. We were able to go and listen to some excellent advice from President and Sister Newell, our zone leaders, and the assistants. It was very good, they had some good advice on how to help the missionary work be more effective and successful in the different areas, specifically focusing on how to more effectively work with the branch (or ward) in missionary efforts. I feel like that, specifically trying to work with the members, is going to be the future of missionary work in Sweden, and, hopefully, everywhere. I'm looking forward to being able to, hopefully soon, effectively work more with the ward for finding, teaching, and converting new members to the Church.
Aside from that, the weeks has been fairly ordinary. We had a few lessons, called a whole bunch of old investigators, and tried to visit others. We had a fairly good lesson with one of our investigators named R, where we were able to give her a Book of Mormon in Polish and commit her to read it. Even though her family isn't very enthusiastic about her interest in the church, she said that she'd be happy to read it and pray about it. We're excited to hear how things go with her.
We also had an interesting contact with a person in Centrum (downtown). He pretty much stopped us by shouting "Mormons!" as we were going through on our bikes, and he wanted to talk for a bit about Christianity. He was a bit drunk, but actually seemed to have a few good questions and a good testimony in Christ (as well as some interesting ideas about some of the parts of the Old Testament-like about how the giants in Genesis are half human and half angel.) It was kind of cool and kind of funny, though.
Either way, it's been a pretty good week. I hope that everything is going well for you guys!
Love you,
Eli
