My title comes from a wonderful
movie that I was fortunate to see before the mission. I randomly had it pop
into my mind as I was writing in my journal a few nights ago and it actually
describes this week really well! The weather is incredible!! It's been pretty
windy, but it's sunny and warm and wonderful!! Not much else has been different
honestly. (I also have about 15 minutes to write this email, so I apologize
that it will be short.)
Last Monday, we did some really fun
things!! We watched the rest of General Conference as a district and then we
were picked up to go to Katja and Poul's house!! They had organized an Easter
Egg hunt for us!! It was pretty fun. It was basically just fun because it was
different and weird. We got quite a bit of candy and had a great time! We were
talking for a long time though, and we needed to leave... So I started doing
the dishes. We got out but had to make a stop at the church because of some
Zone things. Which also turned into a couple of us playing basketball and soccer
(in white shirts and ties, of course). Ældste Gottfredson and I beat Ældste
Hunt and Ældste Cannon in basketball, so we're pretty good. ;)
Tuesday was pretty basic, so
awesome. The Zone Leaders were hosting Ældste Myers and Ældste Newton for
splits, so it was fun to hang out with them in the evening. We went through
some dramatic finding where we starting knocking some opganges that were
miraculously unlocked, but then some people told us to leave and would escort
us out of the building. That was quite annoying. later, we knocked into a young
girl named Lina who is incredibly believing!! She wasn't able to give us her
phone number, but her parents said we could stop by again! We also talked to a
super nice old couple, Anders and Inga. They had some close beliefs to us, but
didn't want to change or learn more. That was about it.
Wednesday rolled around and was a
nother weird finding day. There was a guy we contacted on the gågade that said
to meet him back there the next day, so that was interesting. We had some sad
knocking in the morning which included a guy getting upset that I was talking
to him while he was laying bricks. But then a family said we needed to come
back for cake some day. Then Ældste Preece headed to Copenhagen for his My Plan
meeting, so we got the Kolding Trio again!! We did some knocking and found a
guy who was really close friends with a member in Esbjerg!! His name is
Kenneth, who said we should come back the next day. That evening we just talked
and then smashed our giant chocolate Easter Egg. It was pretty fun!
Thursday was incredible! We had our
trio for most of the day, so we made the most of it! We started with meeting
Sanjo again (the guy on the gågade). He was actually pretty interested, but
didn't have much time. We weren't able to get his contact information, sadly.
But we stopped by a potential named Molly and she was home! We had to schedule
a different time that day. So we went back to Kenneth! He's really cool, but he isn't super interested in
learning and acting. We'll see what happens with him. Then we went back to
Molly and she was decently positive! She took a Book of Mormon and enjoyed the
lesson. She also made a return appointment!! Then we went and stopped by Rosa.
We just talked and watched a general conference talk with her. We invited her
to a baptism service this Saturday, but she said she was taking a week break of
spiritual things, so she's kind of on hold. Right after that ended, we biked
back to Ældste Preece at the train station! That evening went by really fast
too.
Friday
was definitely a day. We had some awkward knocking times in the morning, which
wasn't too exciting. We had a combined District Meeting that afternoon and then
came home for studies. District Meeting was with the Zone leaders and STL's and
was on "Operation: Sharpen Up!" It was basically making sure that
everything in the apartment is in ship shape.
Saturday
was normal. We taught Finn the Plan of Salvation. We were able to have Jens
along with. It was a really cool lesson actually!! He accepted it and had some
awesome questions!!
Due
to lack of time, I will continue the week next week... I lived through the
whole week!! Thanks everyone!!
