First things first, we had our
thanksgiving event here in Århus a lot of missionaries. We gave a way
good training where we shared the starfish story. (look it up, about the
kid throwing them into the ocean) and we just talked about how
everything counts. Then we ate delicious food. We had the talent show
which was amazing. He had been spending some time coreographing a dance
for this thing. It was great. I will try to find a way to send it to you
all. Then we held the turkey bowl, and our district won even though we
were definitely the underdogs. 6 people vs 9. No big deal.It was so much
fun though, I love the missionaries here, and being zone leader is fun
because I get to know them even better.
Another
big thing is that Elder Holbrook and I were able to go to the temple
this past weekend. We got to see Andrea go for the first time. It was
such a spiritual experience, and it was awesome to see someone that I
care so much about, really enjoy and practice her religion. She has
changed so much through the year that I've known her. She is just happy
and more optimistic about everything. It was awesome because the people
in the temple when I was there was a mix between Aalborg members and
Sønderborg, and those 2 are probably my favorite wards here.
Fred
is still doing well. We were able to meet with him a few times
throughout the week and he really wants to come to church events now. He
is trying to find if this is something he once or not, which is
awesome. He is also one of the people we are teaching that I can say he
is my good friend. I just get along with him.
Sad
news with Ashley... way sad. He started drinking again, and he is
scared that we will look down on him because he slipped again. It was
way sad to see him drunk, because he is another one of those people who
really was my friend, and is my friend. So keep him in your prayers! We
will be trying our best to help him out. Addictions are a bad thing...
and way hard to come over.
More sad news is
that Simon, the guy who we were teaching that moved up to Frederikshavn
started drinking again as well. So this week was pretty up and down for
me in my emotions.
Roy is doing well, our good
englishman. We have had some good meeting with him, and he was even in
church on sunday! He really enjoyed it, even though one of our members
tried to screw it up by getting into an argument with him right before
he left. We ended up talking with Roy for an hour after that to try and
calm him down... members need to remember to be nice to all people at
all times! Or else missionaries will be really mad at you, and will
probably call you out on it. (That's what I do anyways) But he is doing
well, he really likes our visits and he says that he learns a lot from
it.
Ummm... I found out that I'm staying in
Århus for Christmas!!! YAY! :D I love this place, and it's gonna be
awesome to be in a big city for it.
Love you all, keep being awesome!
