The
best thing that happened this past week was that I was able to
experience the baptism of one of my best friends here, Anders Steen.
That man did so much for me way back when I first got here to Denmark.
It was the neatest experience to see him make the decision, and to see
the joy that came from it. It was also awesome because it was me and
Elder Holbrook who went down together (we were there in Sønderborg in
the beginning) and we were able to stop by Andrea, the girl that we
found and baptized when we were there. All in all, it was awesome. I
love the town there, it's super pretty and the people down there are the
best. They pretty much are still my family.
But
besides that, things have been going pretty normal, just working hard,
seeing things happen. We have been working a lot with a guy named
Leonard. Sadly the last time we met with him we had a way bold lesson
with him on baptism and more specific how we have to do something with
our faith and that our actions is what defines as us Christians. But he
shot down baptism way quick... kinda just told us that he was happy
where he was, why should he change. So that was way sad. But we also got
to meet with Kaj and Inger, the nice older couple. We had a good little
chat with Inger, who is the member, we talked a lot about how God is
loving, and talked about comparing the scriptures to our lives when we
study them.
We taught a lesson to Simon and
Lise Lotte, that went well. It was another spiritual thought on the
blessings that come through obedience, and we tried to focus on why we
have the church and why we try to live it. It was good. The church just
brings blessings, whether it is long term or short term, we don't know.
We
also got to finally meet the girl that seemed insane and was texting us
a whole ton. She definitely was kinda crazy... just a hoarder, of
beauty products and things. And she pretty much just vented her life
story and told us about why she doesn't like people anymore and why she
doesn't trust them. So that was fun. We didn't really get to say much at
that appointment.
I went on splits with Elder
Christensens (Lil' bear) the other kid that I trained. That was a lot of
fun to see him again. Pretty much all we did was some service for
Maria.
We got to meet this awesome english guy
named Roy yesterday. He went on about how dreams can be prophetic and
how we should be aware of what we dream. It was way neat actually,
because he had like 20 folders full of papers with dreams written down.
He has been writing down his dreams for the past 20 years. He was way
nice, and seemed way interested in the book of mormon, although once
again, we didn't have a whole ton of time to say things.
But
all in all, it's been a very good week. My pen exploded in one of my
pockets, I wore my tight pant suit again, I ate the delicious kebab.
Life can't get too much better than that.
Love you all! Have a great week!
