Hello mor og far!
Here's my week:
I'm in Odense with Elder
Brindley!! I'm so happy to be here, and seeing as how it's kind of the
last little piece of territory to remain untouched, I now can say I've really
seen all of Denmark... Ok, so there are a few places, but I've been in all four
corners in any case.
Odense is the 3rd largest city
(finally back to the big city life ;) they have 2 awesome wards here. I'm
serving in the first ward. To add on to everything already mentioned, I'm
with Elder Brindley whom I've served with in 2 previous districts, and have
gotten to be good friends with. This is going to be a good transfer :)
I'll start off the update by
talking about a really good way to end a transfer with Elder Higby. Just
imagine it's the last stop by of the evening, the last day of the transfer, and
you're getting ready to get into the car when your companion jumps up and
starts a conversation with someone nearby. 'Do you believe in anything?' we ask
him. He he silently showed us his arm to reveal a tattoo of a heart with the
name Jesus in it. We all looked up and smiled at each other.

Needless to say, we have a really
solid new potential investigator in Sønderborg, and he's not the only one. All
of the finding that we've been doing recently has really been paying off. Don't
be surprised if you hear about an explosion in Sønderborg over the next few
weeks, because it is all prepped to be something great, especially with the two
new investigators we found this week. Doesn't it just always happen that way though?
You get a really solid week, and then you have to leave before you can reap the
reward, though hearing about their success over the next few weeks will be
success enough for me.
‘L’ is a little bit busy at the
moment, or at least she was this week, so I didn't really get to see her before
I left, but we still have daily contact with her, and Elder Higby was able to
set something up with her this week I believe, so things are still pushing
forward with her.
It was really hard to say goodbye
to Sønderborg. It was the branch where I feel like I felt most a part of their
family. The people there are awesome, and I'll miss them a lot.
With all of that said, I'm so
happy to be here in Odense. Elder Brindley is one of my best friends, and it's
been a long time in the waiting to get to be companions with him. I'm looking
forward to working hard here with him, and making some new friends.
I'm excited. There is no
better way to describe it. This is likely my last area, and I'm not
having to worry anymore about what I'm going to be doing in the future as a
missionary or anything else, I know that I'm here, and that I'm happy to be
here, and I can now sit down a really focus my efforts on these last transfers
I have to be the kind of missionary the Lord wants me to become.
It's an exciting time to be a
missionary!
I love you Ma and Dad.. ;)
