Hello everyone! It's that special time of week Again
where I get to write a Little somethin' somethin' to you all! I hope
you all have had a good week, and a good new years! Welcome to the big
number of 2014... I turn 20 this year... that's how old I'm getting...
But anyways, on to the fun part of the email. We bought
a jacket for Elder Christensen last P-day, then tested it out, trying
to walk somewhere and visit a less active, WHO wasn't home. So that
was... meh.
NEW YEARS EVE! Elder Christensen started the day off
well by eating some ice cream for breakfast! (Young kids... -.-) we did
lots of stop bys in the morning, with no luck. Stopping by a refferral
WHO wasn't interested. But then we went to Familien Arces for New years.
We watched the Queens speech, which was cool. Then we ate lot's of
food, and ice cream, then we played Uno, and had a way good time. But
Denmark on new years, is one of the coolest Things ever. Everyone just
get's plastered and buys TONS of fireworks. So it literrally ends up
being a war zone. There are just fireworks blowing up everywhere in the
sky, and there isn't a second that goes by where you can't hear an
explosion. It was a dream come true :D I took lot's of Pictures. I also
started a new thing that I will continue forever, called "Hipster new
year" because nothing says a new year like being a hipster. But after
that, we had the toast to the new year, and went home and I slept like a
rock.
New years day, kinda boring in comparrison. We spent
the Whole day cleaning our Apartment. I think I inhaled enough Chemicals
to change my dna, but other than that. Our house was all clean which is
a huge Blessing. :D After cleaning all day, we tried stopping by 2
"dropped" investigators. One of them was fairly positive. The other one
moved. :P All in all it was a good day.
Thursday,
we worked a lot. We had district meeting in the morning. Where we
talked about the similarities between apostles and missionaries. That
was neat. Then we went and stopped by dropped investigators. (We got
lot's of old teaching records from the zone leaders, and they all live
in our area) so that was our focus for the day. And we stopped by some
more of them later that day. 2 of them invited us back, which is
awesome! One of them was a member and I felt way dumb for stopping by,
because she opened the door and it was like... "oh no... she is a member
not a referral" but I covered it up pretty well by saying that we just
wanted to see how she was doing. I crashed way hard this day as well...
lot's of Work makes Ældste Swan tired.
Friday
we had a training meeting. All those people WHO are district leader, or
zone leader got summoned to be taught how we should do Things. I
learned a lot about training, and how fast the Work is progressing. We
have a big job here in Europe, but we are doing it! Then I got to go to
the temple, in Danish. It was way way way cool. :D Definitely an
experience. So that was an awesome day for me.
Saturday,
we did a lot of Work Again. Stopping by drops.We met a guy that spoke
to us prophetically pretty much. He was like "I can't join a church"
Then he was like "You can't enter the Lord's temple with evil
thoughts!"Then he was like "Your church has the Lord's tithes, don't
Waste them" It was way weird. But he spoke truths. Those are some of
the exciting Things that happen to me on a mission. Sadly he wasn't
interested in joining the church, even though he pretty much said it was
true. -.-
Sunday
was a good day. Church with David, WHO is getting really close to his
baptism. Then we tried stopping by someone, an old lady. But she didn't
answer the door. :( Then we went home and ate food.
That was that. I just want to point out that this
Winter, Denmark has been way warmer than Utah. So... you are allowed to
be a Little jealous. :D
Love you all, and keep being awesome!
Ældste Swan
