Weekly Email - Sige alt på dansk

 Hello Everyone,

This week has been awesome for language learning as I really feel like I've been progressing so far in my language learning. This week we had the ability to do some practice teaching appointments and we did pretty well but since they were all in Danish we were struggling to find words to say for some questions. So far, we are loving the language though. An interesting phrase we learned in class was square up bro but in danish it is spelled Firekantet op bror. It is pronounced as fee - er- cantaloupe bror. All I can say is that Danish is awesome and we have been getting really good about being efficient in our studies which has really helped us to really start learning the words and grammar we need to know. I know the gift of tongues is real because I already understand so much. 

Well on another note, I loved the activities this week as we played spike ball with the German missionaries who are about to leave and they are some cool people.  Also, on that note, I have improved a lot in spikeball and officially am not terrible at the game which makes it really fun to play with the Elders and Sisters in the European District. 

My companion Elder Kim is in the General Choir for the missionary conference when the apostles and prophet will be here and we have been able to hear a lot about the details of that. It's exciting to hear about it,  and there is a good chance we will see them around campus in the coming days. Our next devotional will have an apostle too which will be so cool to hear from.

A spiritual lesson that I learned this week is that simple truths are the best way to teach as they don't complicate and they bring the spirit. The simpler you can make it the better it will be taken and the less explanation you sometimes need to do in a language you aren't very familiar with. I know that this is true and know that the simple truths in the gospel can bring so much peace and joy if you seek to understand them more fully. 

On that note here are some pictures for you guys and I will see you next week!

Love to all of you,
