2/4/24 Pesto Pasta

Holy smokes. This week went wild with travel and miracles but it was fun. Still catching up on sleep but its coming.

Began with zone conference. Slept on a 1 inch pad of nothing. It was ok but lost a bit of sleep.

In zone conference, we discussed goals and now the mission is going towards 200 baptisms. On top of that, our zone is focusing on goals and how to achieve them. 

During the testimony session, I got a prompting to share a part of a talk. "Flecks of Gold" by Elder Patrick Kearon. In summary, he talks about people panning for gold that always throw away the small nuggets in pursuit of larger pieces. One person starting collecting them and soon had enough gold to amount to something great. 

Much like our lives, we will have many moments when we collect small experiences that are incredible. So, invite for the week, write down a moment from each day that was amazing, great, or even just good.

Alright, lets see if I can sum everything up:
- Zone conference went well. The funny photo went a little crazy.
- Had 2 school presentations. Both went super well and the students had great questions. Also got some questions about the FLDS church and Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. My knowledge is not as thorough on those subjects but all went well.
- Baptism prep. We worked from ground zero and made the pamphlet from scratch, translating it all to Swedish.
- BAPTISM IN JAKOBSTAD! Our friend went to baptism and it was epic. the font took about 3 hours to fill but all is good.
- Went door knocking at the edge of our area and it was cold but fun.

Well, time is flying here. Hope you all are doing well!

The work awaits,
Vanhin Hsu
