This week was pretty much the same, just missionary work. The same things, but different.
We
went on a whole ton of splits this week, so I wasn't really with Elder
Gines for that much time. We started on monday, and I went out with a
guy named Elder Hafen. We went up to stop by an investigator who was
home, which was way surprising. We were lucky, and blessed that we
decided to stop by him when we did. We had a good lesson with him and
mainly talked about the struggles that come from being Christian in
todays society, and the complications and temptations that come because
of others' influence. It was a nice lesson for all of us.
We
also went out to eat at a place called Jensens Bøf Hus, got the endless
potatoes again. I tell you this because Elder Christensen and Walch
came with us, and Elder Christensen ended up throwing up from how many
potatoes we all ate. (That's the kid I trained! Got them both to do
that.) But I digress...
We also had a good
lesson with Kaj and Inger, the couple where one of them is religious and
the man isn't. We just talked about how we all have questions in life,
and that we can find answers, whether it's through science, or prayer,
or both. Truth is truth.
We got to meet with
Søren, our friend who is a priest. We had a good chat with him on
prophets and why we believe that we have one in our day. It was good.
Then later that day we had a lesson with Asger, a less active member. We
read a talk that talks about how we need to stand up for what is right
no matter the consequence. It also talked about how opposition is what
makes things strong.
Thursday I was on splits
again with Elder Walch, a good friend from the MTC. We got to visit Kaj
and Inger again, and did some service for them. Then just followed up on
the lesson that we had earlier in the week. But, we went to gospel
choir that night. Goodness... that is so much fun! I can't remember if I
described this in my last email, but I'll do it again anyways. We have
this very picture perfect black man who is the main singer, then we just
have a whole ton of white, mostly older people as back up singers. It
is one of the most enjoyable events of my life. haha, but it's great
because one of the members here who is struggling really needs something
to do, and he just so happened to enjoy gospel choir. So that's the
main reason of why we went, so we could support him and get him out of
his house doing something.
Friday was a good
lesson with Ashley. He is still doing well, still coming to church and I
think that he is enjoying it. We also got to know some of the members a
little better, and heard some of the stories from their missions. It
was a good evening.
Saturday we played some
soccer, and halfway through, this group of Danes comes up and asks if
they can play with us. Of course we let them. We ended up playing
against them which was way fun, the more the merrier, especially if they
are good. Then we met with a new investigator named Tobias, he knows a
guy who is dating a mormon, so we had a good chat with him and his
friend, and answered a lot of their questions. This weekend was also
Stake Conference for us. So everyone was together again, and on saturday
we had a way good meeting and I learned a lot from 2 of the area 70's.
The spirit was strong in that meeting.
Sunday
was the actually meeting. We got a new stake precidency, then we went
and had a lesson with Simon and Lise Lotte, and had a fun lesson with
the 10 commandments. It was really good, and what they needed. Then we
had an eating appointment with Maria, which was the usual... we show up
late, I feel way bad, then we eat and leave.
So
all in all a good week full of uplifting experiences. Nothing too
crazy, and I'm still alive. Love you all and wish the best for you.
