Hej Mor og Far!
I had a pretty great week, let me tell you about it :)
Over the course of this last week we've started to see some
gradual improvements with the way the work is going here. We're finding a
lot more potentials, our fireside this last week was a huge success, zone
training gave us a great renewed focus on finding, and the overall morale of
the district is awesome. Not to mention the other two companionships had
stellar weeks with how much they were teaching. They are a group of hard
workers.
Earlier this week we had an appointment with a young Greenlandic
woman named 'P'. The Seden Elders gave us her information, and apparently
she had had a pretty rough past and was looking to change her life. We
taught her this week and after the first lesson we invited her to be baptized
on the 15th of August, and she accepted!
We focused a lot on how the
message would bring her hope, and I could tell she really felt the
spirit. As it would turn out, she lives in the other Odense ward's area,
so we made sure to introduce her to the sisters in the other ward at the
fireside, and they are working with her now. She also came to church, and
it sounds like she's being taken care of, so we'll pray that all continues to
go well, and hopefully we'll have our newest Greenlandic member here in a few
weeks!
This week in church was really great as well. We had such a
large guest class that we ended up moving into a bigger room. A few weeks
ago we challenged our recent convert 'XC' to bring a friend to a church
activity, and after coming to one young adult activity, her friend also came to
church, and brought another friend with!
The first friend got to be close
with the sisters at the young adult activity, and she'll be working with
them. The other friend is named 'R', he's from Latvia, and he had some
good questions about the church after I helped translate for him in sacrament
meeting. He gave us all of his info, and gave us a time to stop by this
week. We have been pretty happy about the way that this week turned
out.
I miss you lots! Then again there are a lot of days
where I can't stand the thought of coming home... Just know that I love you all
in any case :)
Have a great week!
