We had a celebration for something called Santa Lucia this last week. Basicall6 it's this giant concert with people singing holding candles with one person having a ton of candles in their hair. It was awesome, definitely one of my favourite Swedish Christmas traditions!
We had our Christmas Zone Conference this week and it was awesome! It was combined with the Malmö zone, which meant we had about 40 or 50 missionaries all together. And it meant that we had a total of 12 elders staying at our apartment the night before it! Which was fun! Then the actual zone conference turned out really good and was all focused on Christ. And we got to watch a movie, "It's a Wonderful Life". Who could've asked for a better Christmas Conference!
Today we went to a place called Haga in Gothenberg, and found a little cafe that has GIANT cinnamon rolls! It was pretty awesome! And tonight we will be going to a Christmas market as well!
Christmas is coming up this next week. We as a mission will be (trying) to read all the citations to Jesus Christ found in the topical guide during the time between Christmas and New Years. As we come closer to Christ, we will find more joy, peace, and strength then we can find anywhere else. Our goal is to come closer to Christ during this time, and that is what I would invite you all to do as well. Find a way to come closer to His during this time that celebrates His birth.
Merry Christmas!
Elder Nelson
