Things are going pretty good here in Eskilstuna! This week we've had a few kind of interesting things going on, mostly a number of conferences that we've had in Västerhaninge and Stockholm.
Earlier in the week (on Tuesday), we went over to Västerhaninge for our Zone Conference. All in all, the conference was pretty good; it focused a lot on family history work, which is kind of interesting for a bunch of missionaries, but they gave a few points on how to use it in finding or teaching people, and they told us that we can now spend an hour per week doing family history work on FamilySearch, which I guess is pretty exciting. Should change things up a bit.
Then, on Saturday and Sunday we had Stake Conference, with one session in Västerhaninge and another in a town pretty close to Stockholm. They were pretty good meetings, I enjoyed what was shared at them. It was kind of interesting because they both seemed to focus on missionary work a lot, the Saturday session more so than the Sunday session, but they both talked quite a bit about it. I enjoyed the meetings, and there were some good insights and there was a good spirit there. It was good.
Aside from those, things have largely been missionary work as usual (trying to visit old investigators and inactive members, tracting, etc.). On Wednesday, we actually did tract into someone who was not only willing to meet but kind of interested in our message (which doesn't happen too often here). She was an elderly lady named L (I think) from Finland. From what I understood (she was speaking kind of fast with a Finnish accent, which doesn't help), she used to be a member of the PingsKyrka (Pentecostal, I think?), though she didn't think it felt right, so she left. However, when she was listening to our explanation about the Restoration, she said that it felt good, warm. So she seemed pretty interested in learning more, and we're looking forward to teaching her later this week.
Either way, things are all in all going well here! I would attach some pictures, but I accidently left my card reader back home... But next week!
