Monday was
exciting! We were tasked with making Ældste Throckmorton's ankle hurt even
though it hasn't been a problem for a couple weeks. So we walked. And by
walked, I mean about 5 kilometers while contacting as much as possible in our
area, therefore to the tip of Christianshavn to the bridge of Nyhavn. Then
after walking all the way there, we walked in to Strøget to eat lunch and look
at Rundtaarn with the Frederiksberg Elders. That was cool! It was a really
pretty view, and it was just enjoyable with the fun mix of personalities. Both
Ældste Moulton and Ældste McBride are super happy, fun loving, and respectful
elders and just make simple things fun. So we took a lot of random pictures!
Then we walked all the way home. So that was a rough total of 15 kilometers of
walking. Our legs were very tired at that point.
Tuesday
included less walking, but more soreness... We had some awesome members come
out to help us though! We had a lesson planned with a lady in the middle of the
day and we thought to ask a member we'd never met, Thomas. Within almost 5
minutes, he responded that he'd love to come! He's super cool! Sadly the lesson
burned us and none of the stop by's worked out either, but we at least got to
meet him and encourage him to church! Then that evening we went on splits with
Branch President Olsen and Palle! It was super fun! We mostly stopped by less
active members or members who needed some help. But we got to talk about how
missionary work could improve and what we should focus on. Both of those
brothers are very dedicated and awesome to work with! We had thought they only
had an hour, but we ended working 2.5 hours with them! It was super fun!!
Wednesday
was splits again!! This time, Ældste McKinnon and Ældste Gottfredson came from
Bornholm and worked with us! I got to be with Ældste Gottfredson, which was
super fun!! His just an awesome guy all around! We talked with quite a few cool
people! We had a good talk with a man about Jacob wrestling an angel, and
therefore introduced The Book of Mormon through Enos "wresting before the
Lord." We also talked with a lady who dated a member and loved talking
with us. She probably said 4 times that we would have some amazing children.
Then later we had a lady from South America ask what she should do because we
had a message about Christ. That was an awesome question!! So we had some
pretty great contacts that day. So great that we had to eat pancakes for
dinner! (Ældste Gottfredson's choice) But we don't have a table, so we ate on
our bedroom floor! 'Twas hyggeligt!
Thursday was
Zone Conference! That was pretty sweet! We had some awesome roll plays of Skype
calls between Ældste Gottfredson and his companion, President Olsen, to his
parents, Ældste and Søster Gleason. It was pretty awesome! We also discussed
the importance of following the Spirit. We got home later that evening and did
some contacting.
Friday was
pretty normal. We did some good contacting and knocking, of which we met a
super nice Middle Eastern lady. She kept calling for her 19 yr old daughter to
come and meet us, but she never did. I also had another chance to speak Spanish
with the lady from South America, but I couldn't think of the word
daughter.
Saturday was
about the same as Friday, but including weekly planning.
Sunday
included teaching the youth Sunday School, which was pretty fun! Then we ate at
Torben and Vicki Valgren's house with the Gleasons. Then we did some good
knocking again!! It was a fun and busy day!!
Sorry I'm
out of time to give a spiritual thought. I'd encourage you to read Come, Follow
Me and the referenced scriptures because they give some good insight! We
discussed sincere and Rameumptom prayers in our Sunday school class and I
thought it was quite interesting.
Have a great
week!!
