We
started off with a good eating appointment with a way nice less active
family. I'm not entirely sure why they are less active, but they are.
But it was a lot of fun. Ashley was with us, and it was one of the last
hurrahs for Sister Briscoe because she went home today. So it was a good
day. Drank some more bubble tea.
We had a lot of service with Maria on Tuesday. that
was a lot of fun. I always enjoy doing som service. Then we had quite
the adventure. We were on our way up to an appointment on a bus, and
that's when this American starts talking to me. So we end up talking
about religion and stuff, he is a pretty religious guy. So he asks us
where we are heading, so I tell him that we are stopping by one of our
members. (a less active member) and so he asks if he could come with us
to the appointment. We told him that we could ask. So we walk and we all
go into this lesson. Which turns into him just trying to argue about
how our church was wrong, and was trying to convert us to his religion.
(way annoying, never argue) So eventually we calm it down, have a nice
little discussion more about what we believe and not really who is
right. The we parted ways after trading numbers and stuff. Just as we
get home for the night, I start getting texts from this guy. Still going
on about how we "need to think about it like a baseball game" and that
we "are on the wrong team". Boy was I tempted to argue. But luckily
Elder Christensen came in and took the phone from me because I told him
to. Some people these days... But other than that guy, it was a good
day.
We got to go back to Aalborg! :D so great to be
back. I love that town. I got to see almost everyone that I knew.
Specifically, I got to visit with Familien Jørgensen again, the
greenlandic family. It was so great to see them again. They are still
doing way well in the church, and Judithe just got a calling of being in
charge of the primary music stuff. So that's way exciting. The day
after that was up in Aalborg as well. We got to eat at Lee Thi Lams
again. The Vietnamese lady that just stuffs you with food. Then we got
to meet with the Mathiasens again. I got the package from home. (Thank
you!) and just had a way fun time with them. They are such a great
family, great examples to me.
Friday was some more service for Maria, we spent
pretty much the whole day moving boxes. Good old moving. Takes me back
to the good ol' days.
Then we played soccer on
Saturday, then helped out and went to a wedding reception. That was
fun, way weird though as a missionary. Then we ended up having a lesson
with our good friend Ashley. It was a good lesson, mainly on the
atonement of Christ and why we need it. We also got to meet with a
family, the Trap-Nielsens. Way fun. They had 2 of their friends visiting
and I just hit it off with them. Way funny sense of humor. They also
had a whole ton of kittens there, which is a perk.
Sunday was a busy day full of teaching. We were
pretty much teaching the entire day, up until we had an eating
appointment at Marias. The last appointment for some missionaries
leaving Århus. We got to teach Ana, the new convert. We talked about the
sacrament and we read the prayers with her, and explained them. And
that helped a lot, because she doesn't speak Danish, so she actually
didn't really understand the sacrament. It made me realize that
following/doing things doesn't mean very much to us if we don't
understand them. Which is why we need to always be searching for a
better understanding of all things.
All in all it was a good week. Lots of time outside of our area, but a lot of fun.
Love you all, the church is true!
