Bonjour ma famille,
Another good week. Earlier in the week we had our conference with Elder Richards and it was really good. He talked about teaching doctrine simply and working through members. We set some lofty goals as a mission for next month and will all be working hard to accomplish them. It was fun getting to see all of the missionaries at the conference. We had 5 for 8 of my mtc group there so that was cool. Also i got to see all of the swiss missionaries finally.
This is the last week of the transfer and it has gone by super fast just like all of the others. I will find out where i am going this friday. All sorts of patterns will be broken if i stay here with the same comps and stay in the same ville for more than 2 transfers. We'll see.
As far as the ward news goes here we had a home comming of a sister who had been serving in rome. She is still in missionary mode and asked us for a big stack of pass along cards as soon as we met her. Next week if all goes well should be the baptism of the 3 kids we've been working with. It's awesome to see how excited everyone is that they are finally getting baptised.
This past week we had some good FHEs with members. We shared 1 Ne 8:11-12 which talkes about Lehi tasting the fruit and wanting to share it with his family. We asked about their experiences of "tasting the fruit" and invited them to share it with others. I love being able to help members share the gospel with their friends. It was so awesome getting to hear all sorts of gospel miracles and conversion stories. This gospel is so great that when we talk about all of the good things it has brought us we are filled with the spirit and desire to share it with others. Think often about all of the many blessings that this gospel has brought you and i promise you that you will be filled with such a spirit of happiness that you will want to go out and share it with everyone. I love you all.
Elder Swenson
