General Authority Meeting

 Elder David A. Bednar visited the Sweden Stockholm Mission on September 11, 2014, and held a very special missionary meeting for our missionaries.  Those missionaries in the Norrland, Stockholm, Stockholm South, and Södertälje Zones had the privilege of attending this special meeting, and all were fed spiritually for attending.  It is not very often that we are able to have an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ in our midst to teach us and share his special witness of the name of Christ.  Elder Bednar had his companion, Sister Bednar with him along with Elder Patrick Kearon, Europe Area Presidency 1st Counselor, his wife Sister Kearon, and Elder Ingvar Olsson, Area Seventy, and his wife Sister Olsson.  The day was filled with great inspiration as Elder Bednar taught us about being agents, not objects, and letting the spirit teach our hearts as we ask questions from within.  It truly was an incredible day and we all were taught by the spirit.  At the end of the meeting, Elder Bednar left us with an apostolic blessing and testified of the truthfulness of the gospel and that Christ does indeed live and direct the affairs of His church here upon the earth.  Elder Bednar told us that even though the battle and fight is tough, we know the outcome, We Win!  What a great hope that provides to all of us as we continue to spread the gospel in this great land.  WE WIN!!!!!!
