Well, this last week was Christmas and Christmas Eve! In Sweden Christmas is celebrated on the 24th so we were with a member family most of the day then and it was way fun! Some Swedish tradition highlights were Kalle Anka (pretty much everyone in the country watched a 1 hour old 60s Donald duck show at 3 pm. Pretty good!), the Julbord (traditional Swedish food, like ham, fish, meatballs, potatoes, cabbage, eggs, and so on), and Santa coming (he comes on the 24th here in Sweden). It was awesome and way fun! We were with other members a lot of the following 2 days as well, and it was all a blast. We were also able to watch The Incredible 2, and that was way fun!
As for the rest of the week, we spent time with member, some time going by other people, and a lot of time in the scriptures. We were given 2 extra hours of study time each day and were challenged to read all the scriptures cited under the topic "Jesus Christ" in the topical guide. If anyone was wondering, it's around 15 pages of citations to other scriptures in the topical guide! But it has been a wonderful experience and I've learned so much in these last few days! That is something I'd encourage you all to do. As you are preparing for the New Years and New Years resolutions, get to know the Savior better and include him in the coming year. Joy and success come as we do so!
Have a wonderful (and safe) New Years Eve! And I'll write again in 2019!
