Hey ma and pa!
Hey, did you both know that I love you? I've seen the
way the parents in this young branch raise their kids so focused around all the
right things, and as you'll read later in the email, it helps me remember
and appreciate all that you two have done for me. They are AWESOME
here. And thank you again. Here's a bit about my week though.
This week has gone by quickly. We had a lot to get around
to, and between travelling to Fredericia for zone training, and Allerød for ‘V's
baptism, it's been a pretty crazy week. I will say this though, it's been one
of the more spiritually uplifting weeks of my mission.
To see how much of an impact the gospel has made on a family
I've come to love in Helsingør, has been enough of a miracle in and of itself.
I've seen a new light come into their eyes in relation to when I first met
them, up to now where ‘V’ has just been confirmed a member of the church. They
have had their struggles, and no doubt they haunt them every day, but they have
a better view of the future now, and their hope strengthens my testimony.
Like I said, I LOVE this Family, and I was so happy I got to
see all of them again. I was happy to see Lars there as well, despite him and
Jessica having gone seperate ways, they get along, and Lars still has the
missionaries over from time to time. We still have a future Adventure
Time man date set up as well for some day in the future.
We have just AWESOME members here in Sønderborg. We have
been out visiting them all recently, and they all have such strong families,
and wonderful children. They are raising a wonderful generation of faith.
On Sunday a former companion Elder (now Cameron) Walch was
here visiting with his family. I got to translate for them, and it was
fun to see how American they looked ;) They brought me a HUGE thing of
American peanut butter for which I'm indebted to them.
It was kind of a trunky moment, I must say, to have Elder
Walch's mom stand up and bear her testimony of how proud she was of her son and
all missionaries WHO serve. It did bring the spirit really strong though,
and I was touched.
It's been a good week, this mission thing just keeps getting
better :)
Still just chuggin' along here. I love my mission :)
