 Thursday, July 10, 2014, we had Zone Training for the Stockholm Zone.  The District Leaders in the Zone are instructed on the information provided in the Mission Leadership Council Meeting.  Zone Leaders are expected to provide great training on the concepts.  Here, the training consisted of "The Amazing Harvest"  a take off of the Amazing Race series.  Elders and Sisters were expected to perform certain missionary tasks and find the clues that will take them to the next destination to perform another task.  Here Elders are discussing the task of contacting and teaching in front of the Kings Palace in Stockholm.

 Here, Systers Clause and Hauglid are teaching the first discussion to two young men in the square at the King's Palace in Stockholm. And to the right, we have Elders Corbin and Krebs teaching a dignified non-member, with a missionary name tag?, in the square.  Was he converted?

 Systers Spencer and Sjoblom, teaching a real Swede (Syster Beckstrand) about God and Jesus Christ.  Testimonies were shared and the Blonde reacted favorably.
