"The Storm"

 Hello Everyone,

This week has been filled with a lot of activities and we have just been busier than ever. We have been doing a much better job at contacting and finding those that are ready to learn. I attribute that completely to other missionaries who have taught me and to the Lord who has given me the strength to talk to everyone that I can. It really does open your world view a lot to just go around talking to random people and getting to see their points of view. There has been so much that happened this week so let's get into it!

Tuesday was maybe one of my most favorite days as we got to go out to one of our friends houses and help him with some yard work. He is a native Hungarian and speaks like 6 languages. He made us some native Goulash (probably misspelled that). The time we had with him was the best and we got to teach some important principles that he seemed to understand pretty well! We hope to be able to meet with him again and bring him closer to the Savior. Plus, I really love having opportunities to provide service.  

We also had a lesson with one of our friends named Janik! He has always been so fun to meet with as he helps us with Danish and is a super talented cook. This time however we were given the opportunity to talk with him more about baptism and he said he wanted to! His only setback is that he is a bit afraid of water. We have been praying and we hope the next lesson we get the opportunity to talk to him more and quench his fears. His faith really inspires me. I enjoy meeting with him and have found him to be a good friend. 

We had a lot of good times this week and found some people that we have just had some amazing talks with. Just random people we meet along our way. My companion and I have been able to share the gospel very well together and it has honestly been a very big blessing as we have been busy this week and not just had a bunch of random time to figure out what we need to do. There is nothing better than having a set plan that we get to hold to and follow throughout the entire day. 

As for the title of this email, we have had a lot of stormy days this week and got a weather warning from the embassy to stay safe! The biggest part of the weather warning that affected Aarhus was the large amount of wind that we received. It felt like trying to bike with a parachute on our backs and sometimes on our sides. It definitely added an element of fun to our bike rides. 

This week we got the opportunity to also have splits with the ZLs and I will say that every moment was great. The ZLs have always been a big place to look to for advice about how to go about certain aspects of missionary work. 

I have seen how drawing closer to Christ can be so powerful in my life and in the life of those I get to share the gospel with. I continue to be in awe of His goodness and I'm grateful to be a missionary that wears His name on my tag. It is very joyful for me. 

Thank you everyone for reading and I wish you a good week!

Vi ses næste uge!
