Not
a whole ton has happened this past week. Just work. Monday was fun, we
played hide and go seek in this fake jungle place, it was like a giant
green house. That was an absolute blast. Then after that, we went and
met with Ana, a girl from Portugal that got baptized 5 or so months ago.
We just answered a lot of her questions that she had. It was awesome
because we came into the lesson planning on talking about temples and
temple work, and who would've guessed what questions she had. So we just
talked about why we have temples, and what it does for us. She actually
brought up a question that I had had. It was just about why we even
have ordinances, like baptism, and we both just talked about how we
thought that it was purely to help us. God can do anything, but his work
and his glory is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of
man. So with that in mind, the reason why we are required to do things
is because it will help us. It was a way good discussion we had with
her.
We have been meeting with a British guy
named Roy recently. He is super nice, but pretty paronoid. And it was
funny, because we brought Ashley with us to an appointment and Roy was
acting way weird in the appointment, and we found out later on that he
was just super intimidated by Ashley because Ashley is a little taller.
But Roy seems to be sincerely interested in our message, and it was
awesome because he had read a book by Dallin H Oaks before we met him.
We
have also been meeting with this guy named Frank, another person from
England. He is way good at piano, and he is Bhuddist. We have had some
way interesting conversations about the similarities that we share. We
should be playing ping pong with him sometime soon.
I
also was able to go up to Aalborg again, and that means that I got to
see the Mathiasens! So much fun, I love that family. Got to play with
Thomas (the youngest) again. I swear everytime I'm there he just pulls
out all of his toy guns. Then we were able to just talk with them after
all the other missionaries left cause we had like 20 extra minutes
before our train left. It was nice, we just talked about how much they
had done for us as missionaries, and they told us about how big of a
blessing it is to get visits from missionaries.
We
also were able to help Daniel clean up his house. Daniel is someone who
has in most ways hit rock bottom. His house was nasty. I was the
unlucky one who had to grow through 2 closets of clothes that had just
piled up for 4-6 years. There was too much clothing... we had to
organize all of it as well. But I was way happy to help him. It was
something that I wanted to do for a very long time, ever since I saw his
apartment.
We also made with Fred, and he was
teaching us Pigeon English, which is the greatest thing ever. Fred is
so close, he believes it all, he just needs to start coming to church.
But he is the best, I love when we meet with him. It was way funny
because we rode the bus with him, and the lights were out for some
reason on the bus, so it was way dark. So you could barely see Fred,
until he smiled, then you just saw these super white teeth.
We
finished carving pumpkins as a household yesterday. It was loads of
fun. I love the Elders that I love with. They are all super funny.
Well... love you all, keep on being awesome!
