Well first of all... I AM LEAVING SLAGELSE! Its a
bittersweet feeling but whatever. Right when the members start loving
me i have to leave! Well... after being District Leader for the last 8
months, its time for me to step it up a notch and go Zone Leader... I am
headed to Copenhagen with Æ. Petersen! We are going to have a blast! He
is from Idaho Falls. He goes home in December so he isnt green at
all! haha We will actually be living in Ordrup which is like the richest
area in Denmark. So yeah that will happen on Wednesday... =)
Fantastic week! We had a great appointment
with Natascha and her friend Stine! They were so excited to meet with
us! We kinda broke the ice at first and got to know each other and then i
asked them what they expected from us. Natascha said that she wanted to
be able to understand the Book of Mormon better. (both of them already
know quite a bit about the church) So from that we decided to focus our
lesson on the scriptures. We read with them Alma 32 and it was amazing!
We a great member present who was able to bare testimony on the Book of
Mormon and share how we can apply the scriptures to our daily lives.
Both of them really enjoyed the chapter and before we could ask them
when we could meet again, they asked when we could come back! I told
them i most likely will be leaving on Wednesday so they were super sad
and said that we could meet again on Tuesday and that they would feed us
dinner. We have our elders quorum president coming to the appointment
tomorrow so it will be amazing! I am super bummed though because these
girls didnt want me to leave! They are 22 and 23. I wanted to teach them
soo bad! I text Natascha and told her i was leaving the other day and
she said that she prayed to god that i would stay! haha Well i hope i
meet some cool girls to teach in Copenhagen. Copenhagen is a tough area,
that is where the real culture is. I could actually be there until i go
home, we will see. Anyways...
Nothing else new. We had a lot of great appointments
with some members this last week where we were able to feel the spirit.
I am really going to miss slagelse. There is something truly special
about this area and ward. I cant imagine serving in a more loving and
missionary minded ward the rest of my mission. Everyone is so loving to
each other no matter what language you speak or where you come from.
There isn't any groups in the ward, everyone is equal. Yesterday we
stopped by some member families to say goodbye. We stopped and ate with
the Graabecks, they were the older couple that we lived with when we
first came to slagelse. They are my Danish grandparents. Æ. Jensen and I
thanked them many times for letting us live with them. We then stopped
by Finn Lykkegaard and his wife who i have grown to love so much! The
both of them have such a strong testimony and every time i talk with
Finn i just think, man i want to be just like Finn when i get older! He
gave me the best advice that i will always remember... "Don’t Lose Faith
in What You Know, Because of What You Don’t Know."
OH! We beat the Slagelse Gladiators in
Football! hahaha so much fun! We creamed them! There coach played too
and we beat them 6 to 1! hahah so much fun! Nothing really came out of
it but now they dont think missionaries are weird i guess. I am way excited to go
zone leader! I really feel like i can motivate the missionaries here. I
have a good rep and i think everyone likes me. Well here are some pics!
The first one is me and Finn. I made him put on this egyptian robe for the pic. hahaha
second one is me and Graabecks.
