Hello Everyone,
This week has been a lot of good things and some hard things to come with it. We have been having an amazing time this week in our lessons and teaching. The members have been kinder than ever and the ward is so accepting of our friends and their families. We got a new ward mission leader who has been so helpful in organizing activities and just been willing to come to our lessons if needed.
Speaking of lessons, we had some pretty good lessons in the time that we had! We got to meet with some people that we haven't been able to in a bit of time and have a good time with them. There are many people in Denmark that are noticing the cold and darkness and finding people on streets has become a lot harder and more difficult. I will say that the weather has not been stopping us from getting out and talking to everyone we can. One of the lessons that we had this week was with a man named Roman. He had gotten back from a trip in Portugal and wanted to meet with us. After a very long lesson I invited him to come to church and he said yes. So, I'm excited about that!! He is so cool and got us a cake to eat. Which was so nice. There really are many good people.
This week we had eating appointments everyday with members. They are all so kind and so caring with their time and resources. We have been able to prepare some cool and interesting spiritual thoughts to share. Along with the spiritual thoughts was of course some very tasty food that includes some Danish but also just normal food too. The best thing we ate this week though was pork chops that a family made for us! I was very happy to get to eat with their family again. It's so nice to be in the homes of the members.
This week has also been a bit of a slower time for us due to me and my companion being sick. I have been very happy to get some extra sleep during this time and just be able to embrace the time we have to rest a bit. But, I'm happy we are both feeling better each day. The best part is that we have still been able to get some work in and this allowed for some productive conversations and fun planning of activities. We hope that sickness will not continue and that we will be able to get up to full power shortly.
At this point of my mission I have been able to learn a lot of things already and apply some things to my life that I can use for the rest of my life! Two of the things that I have learned on the mission thus far would be to remember that this isn't my work or my decision to lure people to church as they will feel it when they take part of it and feel the joy and peace that comes through Christ. And, I have also learned that as missionaries the best thing we can do is do things for others as when we focus on ourselves we lose track of what matters most to the work we are doing. It is about losing ourselves in this good work. What a blessing.
Thank you everybody for the support and I hope you all have amazing weeks in your respective places!
Vi ses til næste uge!
Love,
Elder Lines
