Family,

I'd like to start this letter with an awesome experience. Tuesday night the 13th was the third time in a row that we had a member of The Twelve speak to us. It started with Elder Christofferson, then we had Elder Ballard, then Elder Cook. No one really knows why this happened, but it did. Chief Justice of the Lunch Room General Managership and Head of the Committee to Feed MTC Speakers said he cannot remember the last time three members of the twelve spoke in a row. Side note, Chief Justice is actually this guys name, it says so on his name tag. So anyways, that was awesome, I got a lot of great notes and heard a lot of answers. Something that really stood out to me was from Elder Cooks talk. He was something like Head of the Development of Preach My Gospel so he talked a lot about that, and he said that PMG was written so that it cannot be memorized, but that it can be learned, carried in your heart, then shared in your own words. It reminded me of Joel 2:28. Also, they all mentioned that we have the same calling as they do, and they all called us their companions, prophets with a little p, or something along those lines. Good stuff.

In personal study I realized something awesome. In D&C 138:57 we are told that in the spirit world we will serve mission. In Alma 34:34 we are told that when we die, our knowledge stays the same. In D&C 90:11 we are told that everyone shall be taught the gospel in their native tongue. In PMG chapter 7 section "be dedicated and diligent" paragraph 3 we are told The Lord wants us to learn our language for more then our language. Put it all together, and we come to understand that in the spirit world missionary work for dead Swedes is being carried out by the dead that can speak Swedish. Missionary work for dead Brazilians is being carried out by missionaries that can speak Portuguese, and ext. ext. ext. So my call to Sweden is for a lot longer than two years. That is this weeks food for thought.

On Sundays we get to watch a movie (like Joseph Smith, the Prophet of the Restoration or This Good Talk that This Member of the Twelve Gave Seven Years Ago) and this Sunday we watched three new segments from Meet the Mormons 2. It was pretty good, when it comes out y'all should go watch it. One of the Mormons you get to meet is a Cowboy from Southern Utah and his segment is a little weird because you watch him train horses for a while, but it's all good. Another segment is on The Blessed Four, a Japanese band. That was the best part by far because we got to listen to music and see dancing and cool stuff like that.

Syster Gifford och Syster Fairbanks are on the same floor as me for class, so I've run into them a couple of times. That's pretty neat.

One of the Öldungurs broke his elbow playing soccer, and it's a month long fix. But don't worry, he has to learn Icelandic, so even after he gets all healed up, he has another month here.

Still no pictures because I still don't have a camera that works.

I'm pretty much just typing now because my companions are still typing, so I'm gunna be done now.

Älska,
