Hej Mor og Far :)
This has been a great week! I am in really good
spirits.
I got to go to København to work with the people I started working
with at the beginning of my time in Denmark, I got Elder Jeppson as a new
trainee, (very excited about the missionary work, and very willing to work) and
we taught, and found, and even made a baptismal date! It was a very
effective week. We taught more total lessons than we normally do, and we
were only in our area for half of the week.

I've always felt like miracles come when new missionaries are in
an area, and I know that it's no coincidence that Elder Jeppson's coming has
resulted in such awesome progress with the work here in the last week.
Our friend ‘V L’ will be baptized on the 29th of August. He
previously investigated the church, and after our first visit with him for the
second go around, he said that he felt a change in his life, and that the
little things that held him back before weren't there anymore. He feels
confident and excited and has come to church for the last two weeks, and has
been meeting with us every other day or so.
Everything continues to go well here in Odense. I'm loving
training and being a part of the happiest mission in the world :)
I have been working a lot on my 5 year plan, something President
O'Bryant gave as an assignment, and trying to seriously consider how I want
things to go. It's difficult, but a good exercise, and I'm hoping by the
end I can have a better handle on what I want to work on and become.
In other fun news I broke my bike. Not just like a bolt or
the chain, but the metal crank shaft to the pedal snapped in half. What is
this?! Of all things to break first, the dense, metal shaft decided to
go. In the mean time until I get it fixed, I've been riding around a
sweet bike from the 80's a member loaned me.
Also, while in Copenhagen emailing last week, I met a man in the
library who asked me for some help. I helped him out, and he was really
nice back. Not interested in the church, but we ended up having a nice
long chat about why each of us where in Denmark (he's from Bulgaria)... Anyway,
fast forward to last night and we are sitting on a park bench getting ready to
call in our numbers we just tallied up for the week, and this man comes walking
up to us again. It was kind of creepy at first, but he was still the same nice
fellow. One of the three Nephites? possibly?? ;) It was just crazy to see
him again in two different cities, and in such an interesting format, in the
evening time in an empty park... Weird.
I'm loving it here, I love you all!
