I LOVE GOALS! Goals stretch us and
put us in learning situations that allow us to grow!
Great week! We attended a great district meeting this last week.
A member came and gave a training on how to work with the Danish people.
He talked a lot about goal setting and about how to change our mindsets
so that we can have success as missionaries. I thought it was a great
training, it definitely inspired me to set better goals and really Work
toward them and do the best that i can. If I am doing my best then i
cant feel guilty when nothing happens. Great district meeting.
We also had the opportunity to go on splits with the Roskilde elders. I Worked with Æ. Metcalf in Roskilde.
We had a great appointment with a less active member and then an
appointment with their baptismal date, Charlotte. Charlotte is a very
nice lady who has been through a lot in her life. I am not quite sure
she is all the way there but she seemed to understand most of what we
taught her. We had a great dinner appointment that night which was
AMAZING! It was with a member Family with some wayward kids so Æ. Metcalf and I really had to think hard on how we could share a memorable spiritual thought. We shared a Mormon
message about the important Things in life and then asked each person
individually what was most important to them in their life and of course
everyone said their Family! The spirit was so strong and i know that
everyone in the room was touched by the spirit that was present. Get
this though... They had a daughter was like 17 and during dinner she was
like " yeah i play the drums " So during dinner i told myself that
before we leave i had to hear her play the drums. So after dinner i was
like " Show me what you can do on the drums!" So we ended up jamming for
a Little and then the son WHO is like 16 said he played guitar and i
connected really well him as well. Oh yeah and during dinner the mom
offered me a job if i ever want to come back to Denmark! hahaha I was just like " Yeah, thanks i will consider it... " but really i was thinking in my mind " I dont have a Desire to ever live longer than 2 years in Europe.. " haha
So yeah i really hit it off with the Whole Family and then for Family
home evening we taught them how to play spoons and they loved it! The
mom told me that i needed to call president and get transferred to their
Ward because they thought i was so much fun to be around. haha way fun!
Saturday night we had nothing planned so we thought maybe we could play some bball and hope someone would play with us. We got to the bball Court and there were like 6 teens just chillin in the Court, 4 Guys and 2 girls. So we were just like " uhhhh we are from American, who wants to play some basketball? All the Guys got up but the girls were like " ehhh
we suck... " So i was like " come on we will teach you! " and then the
girls got way shy and were like " okay " with these huge smiles on their
faces. haha So started playing and then i noticed someone
had a skateboard so was like " hey can i borrow that skateboard and
someones shoes?! " hahah some kid said yeah i was able to
impress them on the skateboard. FINALLY someone asks what we were doing
in Denmark and i we told them that we were missionaries here to tell
them the good news! Nothing came out of it but it was still a good use
of our time. I know we touched them in one way or another. Don't worry i
didn't touch the girls, although it was very tempting! hahah
I am so grateful for the talents that i have! I have been able to
use them so much on my mission and every time i use them people can see
how normal we Mormons actually are! Its amazing!
But yeah nothing else new. That's about it. Transfer calls come out
this week. I wont be going anywhere but Æ. Petersen may get
transferred. Well have a good week! Love you all! =)
