Hey Ma and Pa!
Here's first and foremost the week:
I am so happy to be here in Sønderborg! I feel so
blessed to have been sent to this branch, and couldn't be happier with my
companion.
Elder Higby and I got around to a lot this week, and
probably one of the best things was that we were able to get around to so many
of the members, and do a kind of inventory and see how everyone is getting
along.
A great deal of this week has been put towards building the
relationships between the members and the missionaries, and I think this is the
best I've done as far as getting in contact with the members goes.
This last week in church was also great because we had a
specific focus on missionary work in our branch. People were sharing
personal experiences, and everything focused back to inviting everyone to be
with us. I feel like it was an answer to a prayer because we have a
fireside coming up this week that we still aren't 100 percent prepared for, but
there has been more and more support from the branch, and I think that it's
going to go quite well.
‘MA’ is still being taught, and things are moving slower
than before, but still moving. We also had a great opportunity to go up
to ‘S's baptism, and that was an awesome ordinance to witness. He seems
to really fit in.
Now getting on to the fun stuff... Yesterday we had our
media training. The district had so much fun. We all were laughing
and having a good time, and with some of the pointers we learned I feel much
more confident going into this interview. I'm excited to see where we are
able to take this. It's been great being able to just get our name out
there a little bit more.
Other than that... I'm glad that things are going so well
back at home. I want you all to know that I love getting to hear how things
are going back home, and that I always feel like my prayers for family are
being answered. You'll have to be sure to take lots of pictures, and say
hi to all of my grandparents.
I love them all so much :)
The weeks keep flying by here, but I'm so happy for the time
that I do have, and I'd like to say that I'm making the most of it.
I love you both so much! Have an awesome week!
