Elder Clawson, born and raised in the San Francisco area.
He is a musician, a bass player. He has wanted to go into music since
he was 13 years old. He loves jazz music. Playing, listening, and so
forth. He likes pizza, having fun, and long walks on the beach. Blonde
hair, blue eyes... awesome guy. :3 oh, he wants to own his own recording
studio when he is older. That's sweet.
But as for our week, we had a way stinking good
week. On Monday, my companion and someone else in our district needed
haircuts, so they asked Maybrits sister. (Sister Frost) So we went up
there and ended up spending like our whole p day there, then eating
dinner with them. What an awesome family. They have a 7 year old
daughter that got to sit with me when we ate dinner, and we had quite
the chat, so now we are the best of friends. Then they have a son named
Emil, who was playing video games in his room, and I just mozied on over
there and got talking to him. That's when he started playing Scott
Pilgrim, the video game (holy cow, it's amazing) so now we are the best
of buds as well. So after having a way nice day with an amazing family,
we headed over to an investigator named Ninja (yes, ninja) and we talk a
pretty straight forward lesson about the plan of salvation. They went
well, nothing too special to comment on. But that was our p day.
Tuesday rolls around, we stopped by our good friend
Abdi, who is doing way better. He was smoking so much, and he was much
more sane this time around. We shared a little message with him, then we
went up to Brønderslev, where we knocked a little, and the 2nd door
that we knocked on, this Brazilian girl let us in. She said that her
cousin is a mormon, and that she was way Christian. Sadly, she wasn't
super interested in hearing the gospel, BUT they invited us to this
bible study group that they have, so that will be exciting to go to.
Then we met with Samar, our New Zealand gangster. I love him so much,
such a funny kid. We had a good lesson, and got his birthday so that we
could find out if he is a member. Then we just left the magical town and
went home.
Wednesday was an alright day. It was pretty much
full of stopping by less actives, with no luck. Then we knocked some
college dorms, and this way nice girl answered and was interested, so we
set up an appointment with her for this wednesday. Then we ended the
day by playing basketball with some members and investigators at the
church, which was way fun.
Thursday comes around, we start off with a district
meeting, just talking about how we as missionaries can help members. But
other than that, the main cool thing that day was our lesson with
Familien Jørgensen. This Greenlandic family is so prepared. We taught
about the plan of salvation, and at the end of it the husbad was just
like "I was thinking about that the past couple of days, and you
answered all of my questions." Which was sweet, then we asked if he had
any other questions, then he pointed to the Book of Mormon and said
"that book has all the answers" haha. He knows his stuff, they both do.
But after that, we set a baptismal date with them, and they are way
excited for it. Such an awesome family!
Friday was a chill day. We started off by just
picking up some flyers to give out for general conference, then buying a
pastry for our weekly planning. After that we took a bus forever to
stop by this less active, who talked to us about Hawaii a whole ton.
Still a good day though.
Saturday was good. We went back up to Brønderslev
and ate a giant icecream cone. Nothing too special happened up there
this time. We met with our Mission leader, and talked with him for
awhile. We also stopped by Abdi, and just read a little out of the book
of Mormon. That went well. Nothing too crazy happened that day. :3
Sunday was awesome, we had church, then a meeting,
then the older missionary couple fed us lunch. After that we had an
eating appoinment with the Jørgensens. That went so well. We taught them
about faith, repentance, baptism, holy ghost, and enduring to the end.
It was cool, because after we taught about repentance, Judithe asked us
if drinking and smoking was a sin, and that they had been discussing
this in the past couple of days. So we taught that as well. We gave
Maelek a blessing so that he could stop smoking, and the spirit was just
super duper strong. Such an amazing family. I made some pastries that
night, they turned out pretty well. (kanelsnegle) Lot's of butter, I
might die, but I will die happy! :D
I hope that you all have had an amazing week. May God's blessing be with you all! LOVES!
