This week
has been wonderful!! So rather than delaying, we'll just get in with the
details!!
Monday,
transfer day! I traveled with Ældste Jensen to drop him off in Fredericia and
sent him off towards Horsens as I received Ældste Tyler Bailey (from Bountiful,
UT and came to Denmark at the same time as me)! We got home after some fun
organizing public transportation. Then we, Elders, and Søster Livingston and
Søster Routh, ate over with Steffan! He made us flæskesteg and it was pretty
good!
Tuesday, we
went out contacting which made us late to our appointment with David. But then
he had already started up with work again, so we couldn't meet! I was pretty
sad about that. Luckily, we set up an appointment for the next day. We then met
with Snorri, who cautiously said that he knew Mormons Bog was true so we're
planning to talk about baptism next time! We also had Coordination Meeting,
which is always fun!
Wednesday
was great! We met with David, who was super involved with the lesson! He
explained a bit about his (nonexistent) religious background, but he really
wants to be a better person and then took notes as we talked about prayer and
how it can help him! It was awesome! We also stopped by a family where we
talked to them for about a half hour and then explained Mormons Bog! It was
definitely the most attentive an entire family has ever listened to me!
Thursday was
District Council, which was fun! Then we went out knocking in Hjerting again.
We found an American guy and then a man named Mike who was interested in
reading in Mormons Bog! It was super cool!
Friday was
where my dreams came true! I've been joking for literally years about it, and I
finally have gone CURLING!! We have a friend named Nicklas who is on the
Jylland team for curling, so he offered to teach us! Steffan was also there,
and it was incredibly fun!! (I love curling!!) It was basically the best! After
that, we did a lot of finding and then met up with Jonathon. We talked about
Mormons Bog and then he fed us some Jewish New Year's food! It was really cool!
He's consistently reading and is still interested, so we're meeting
occasionally.
Saturday was
basically just contacting, knocking, and doing Weekly Planning. We've been
having a lot of fun contacts where we just get to know people, where they then
take time to hear what we have to say. It's super fun!!
Sunday was
crazy! We had Ward Conference, which meant that the Stake Leaders came, which
included Thomas Bornemann (from Fredericia)!! So that was fun to see him. Then
we went to Erik's to give him the sacrament. Then we went out contacting, which
was also cool!!
I sadly
don't have extra time to add a good spiritual thought. Just imagine that I made
a cool curling analogy or read President Nelson's talk about the name of The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Sometimes we just don't comprehend
everything the first time, so we need reminders. Luckily, we believe in
repentance!!
Have a
wonderful week! Thanks for reading my short email!
