Dåbs Dato!

 Hello Everyone,

This week we had a lot of good opportunities to find and to have some big lessons. The biggest thing from this week is definitely with our friend Janik as we put him on... BAPTISM DATE! This is a big thing for me and for the Denmark mission in general as baptisms are not the most common thing here. We have been working hard to get him closer and he has finally felt the prompting. We are so thankful for him and all his faith. One experience for me in particular that hit me really hard was the meeting we had with him where I got to read the baptism questions in preparation. This experience showed me the faith that can grow in someone when they are touched by the spirit. After each answer it became clear that he was ready and that he was feeling the spirit! It was so powerful to be overcome with the spirit in the room and to feel the desires of his heart. 

Something this week that also made me really happy was all the success we were seeing with social media. It is often really interesting to be able to see all the different things that might seem like they aren't as spiritually guided but the truth is all of it requires you to think about how you can best spread the gospel and love of Jesus Christ which invites the spirit. It kinda renews my faith that technology can be used for more good in the mission than bad and in fact can be a great tool in aiding with finding those that are searching in our areas. 

We had a zone conference this week also! We got some great training from the Elders and the Sisters. They talked a lot about testifying of Christ and being a witness of him. We have been able to focus on that the rest of the week and truly make it a goal of ours. I can already tell it brings so much more purpose to have something that even in the smallest ways can help someone. For instance we often go around and just share simple truths such as God loves us or Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. Zone Conference was amazing though and we got to see all the missionaries and just have a fun time. Our zone really is the best!

Overall this week has been pretty normal and just has shown me what normal missionary work is gonna continue to look like. I hope that everybody that reads this can feel that God loves them and that Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. 

I wish everybody an amazing week and hope that everyone is staying safe!

I love you all and appreciate your support.
Vi ses næste uge!
