Vores siste uge (Translation: “Our last Week”)

Title Translation: "Our last week"
 

It's super weird knowing that I won't be in the US in just a couple days. It's basically the only thing getting me through these last long days here in the MTC, but also the most terrifying thing ever. It'll be a very different world with a whole new kind of people. It'll basically be the best and scariest thing I've ever done. :)

This week has been good though! I don't feel like a ton has happened, but it's been fairly eventful. Ældste Wright and I teach our last "investigator" lesson this Saturday with Jesper (Bror Bateman) and we're pretty confident that he'll actually commit to a solid baptism date. Our last lesson with him was really good! We both testified of the importance of baptism by immersion and he said he would specifically pray about it and priesthood authority. I'm excited to hear what he finds! We also 'texted' Elise (Sister Reed) because we don't teach her again, but we had a scripture that helps on the exact thing she's struggling with. We just drew a phone on a paper and wrote our message and then the next day we had another note with a little Nokia flip phone saying she would read it. It was hilarious! I enjoyed it!

We've also decided that all the Apostles wanted to make it up to us our last two weeks because we've had three come within a week of each other. This past Sunday, Elder Ballard came and spoke about locking your heart. Then on Tuesday Elder Anderson spoke to us about finding investigators, and especially young adults. Then he had his grandkids run up and down every section and shake hands. So I shook Elder Anderson's granddaughter's hand. I feel pretty special.

We also got our flight plans this past Friday!! We get to leave the MTC at 3:50 in the morning! It's going to be super fun! But we fly to New York, wait for 5 hours, and then fly straight to Copenhagen. We'll land in Denmark at about 11 in the morning on Tuesday after leaving Utah at 8:45 Monday morning. It's gonna be a party!

Sadly I'm still fairly sick. It was super annoying last week during a specific lesson demonstration. Ældste Wright and I were being taught by Sister Reed and Bror Curtis. I was so amazed that I could understand everything being said. But I was coughing a lot and practically died when I swallowed my cough drop. But I'm safe! So I guess that's good. Basically I feel totally fine until I have random coughing fits for a half hour. 

That's basically all from the Dane Den here in Provo. We have a super exciting life filled with soccer, four square, strange grammar rules, and random things that we do to try and entertain ourselves. And they're usually things the branch presidency would approve... But what can you expect from literally ten teenage boys cooped up on a campus for a month and a half. Luckily they decided to move us out of the classroom now. I just hope our pilot is ok with that. ;) It's all good though! The weirdest thing is the next time I'll send an email out, it will be from Denmark. I'm super excited!

Vi ses til jeg er i Danmark! (See you until I’m in Denmark!)
