What's your favorite idea?

Outside World,
Lots of good stuff happened this week, along with some sad stuff, so it evened out to be an OK week. One of the Systers was in a car crash a while ago and kept feeling lost, confused, and irritable. She talked to the Doctor about it and got diagnosed with something like Post Concussive Syndrome, basically she got a concussion and it didn't heal and won't heal for at least six months, so she went home. That was sad. 
On Tisdag we had a devotional from Elder Christofferson. He talked a lot about our new focus as missionaries, "Preach repentance and Baptize converts". It was super good, lots of good scriptures, and he passed around a microphone to get interaction from the audience, it was all super cool. Someone in my room is having a super hard time now because they can feel Satan trying to mess them up, so we gave them blessings and stuff and they pray for help a ton, then in the devotional Syster Christofferson shared two quick stories about missionaries who were having a hard time then prayed then something happened and they had a great time. It made things quite ironic actually, here's this missionary whose praying about a hard time and his answer is a devotional saying you should pray when you're having a hard time. 
So as for my email subject today, my favorite idea is to set a goal for everything: personal study, devotional, sacrament meeting, class, sleep, exercise time, language study, email, you name it and I set a goal for it. Doing this is a goal of mine, so you should try it. Jag vet det, i ni komma till familij sckriftellen studier med en mal, Gud vill hjelpa ni ta emot en svall genom Mormons Bok, Bibelen, eller Läran och Förbuden. Han har hjelpa mig i personlilghet studier, Han vill hjelpa er.
Other cool things I did this week include my first anointing of the sick and afflicted, giving my first blessing of comfort, eating some cookies a Syster got mailed that were the absolute best, meeting Jacob Nelsen, watching Joseph Smith, the Prophet of the Restoration (great movie, find and watch it) three times (once after a devotional in a normal movie-watching setting, twice while running on an elipticle), eating temple food for breakfast and thus solidifying my testimony that the church is true, and committing our first "investigator" to baptism. Good stuff.

Kärlek,
