I need to
buy new white shirts, and slacks here pretty soon. Also could you send me
some more of the good deodorant? Just in a future package if possible,
the Danish stuff isn't great. Don't remember if you know what it looks
like, it's just the orange cap right guard gel antiperspirant. I think it
says 72 hour protection on it as well.
NOTE: We attended our nephew’s mission farewell
this Sunday and President Eyring lives in his Ward and was presiding in the
meeting. Mindy was talking to President
Eyring after and she mentioned that Teagan was serving in Denmark. He asked her to tell Teagan that he loves him
and that Denmark is a wonderful mission.
That is so
cool about Elder Eyring! It's even more awesome because I have seemed to
be reading a lot of his talks lately in Danish ;) I love hearing that I'm
loved.
This week I
took a nap on a box while Elder Ogden was fixing his bike, ate some (assumed)
tainted horse meat :P met with my Ward mission leader and decided that
you and Dad have Danish twins. ‘W’ and ‘A’ really do look like you guys,
it's weird. I'll have to get a picture with them next time.
We got a LOT
of pretty pictures in the wheat/raps fields surrounding Skive, and had a nice
little day trip to Lemvig. What a different little town that was,
only two people were even home in the 1 1/2 hours we were
there.
Sunday we
had an investigator caravan driving to Skive for church. We had 5
investigators this week in church! We got a shout out from the zone
leaders and the assistants, and are so happy to finally see some of the fruit
of our labors really come forth. ‘C’ is happily on his way to get
baptized this week. It's crazy to hear about the progression from the
long haired, alcohol loving ‘C’ that Elder Syversen and Gines met in the
beginning to the clean cut, happy ‘C’ that is ready to make lasting commitments
with the Lord this week.
Sunday was
very emotional. Elder Ogden gave a wonderful talk about coming to Christ,
and made almost all of our investigators cry. In our guest class they all
told us they had felt of the spirit confirming to them that it was true what
Elder Ogden was talking about.
It really
touched one man in particular named ‘R’ who had lost his son just this last
week. He said he felt like his son was with him in the meeting. It
was really beautiful, and great to see that we were actually making a
difference in these people's lives.
We also
invited ‘J’ to live the word of wisdom this week and she said she would!
She's well on her way.
‘C’'s
daughter is also really interested (‘H’) and she has been asking us a lot about
what it means to be a member in the Church, and more about our beliefs.
We challenged her to read and pray and she has also been taking the lessons
from us, so that is going really well. She'll be coming with us to the
baptism on Saturday.
After
leaving that appointment a man poked his head out of his window and told us he
had LDS family members in Hawaii and invited us up. That turned into
another lesson with him (‘S’) about the church, a baptismal invite, and
his information so that we could talk with him more another time about the Book
of Mormon we gave him. He's a free mason, and really excited to hear more
about us as he's studied many religions.
Other big
news, my old companions in Frederiksberg are meeting with ‘K’ Again!!! They say that he wants to give the church
another shot. That was just a great way for me to end off the week.
It's been an awesome one!
I'm missing
you guys like crazy but know that I wouldn't rather be anywhere else.
Love
Ældste
Pitcher
