Hello Everyone,
This week has been filled with service to the members and some lessons with the friends we have been teaching for a while. A big thing we learned this week is about transfer calls. I will be staying in Aarhus and my companion will be going to Roskilde which is near Copenhagen. It will be sad to see my trainer leave but we will be having a good time with Elder Jacobs who will be coming from Copenhagen.
The service this week was for 3 different members. They are related but the work mainly included gardening stuff and a lot of work in painting. It was good to say that we got a lot done and had the chance to show the members some Christlike love.
The funnest activity we have had this week was definitely making Mac & Cheese at our friend Janik. It was fun because last time he made us food but this time we made him food and he appreciated the company too. He is an amazing man and we hope to be able to help him see the fruits of the Spirit. Another member's house we went to was Jonnes. She is an older lady that likes to tease the missionaries in a funny way and sometimes pretend to trip them. She was so fun to help out and it just shows me all the joy that comes from the gospel and a life involved in the gospel.
We did a lot of street contacting this week and this one particular person stood out to me as important even though he hasn't been keeping in contact with us. He was super friendly and I could understand his Danish nearly perfectly. I loved the conversation because I really felt as if God was leading this conversation and trying to tell me to help him find purpose. I'm not sure what will come of it, but it felt important to me and I will always remember it.
We have done this spiritual thought this week with a can and a Book of Mormon. The spiritual thought includes using the scripture Heleman 5:12 that talks about satan and his shafts in the whirlwind. We then proceed to put one of our fingers on the Book of Mormon and slam the can on it, representing the Fiery Darts of the Adversary. The finger because of the foundation of the Book of Mormon comes out ok and unscathed.
Spiritual thought I have thought about is the idea of sacrifice. The idea that we sacrifice 2 years of life to help others is an example of one of the many ways that people of our church show their dedication and sacrifice. We as missionaries testify of the blessings that come from pursuing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and all that comes with it. I love this work and hope you feel the joy that comes from coming unto Christ.
Until next week everyone!
Love,
Elder Lines
