Hello everyone,
This week has been amazing! My companion, Elder Hacking, and I have been doing some great work. The area we are in, although hard, is filled with a bunch of fun stuff! We have an amazin branch with super dedicated members. They have invited us over to eat and we have been able to get to know them better.
A big thing we focused on this week was getting to know the areas around our zone so we went to some of the other places on the islands. We knocked on a lot of doors and used our time efficiently to find out whether or not the inactive members in that area were actually interested in coming to church. Overall ,we did some very good work.
As the time in Denmark goes on, so does the love that I have for these people! There is so much joy to be found and they just need to take the first step and they will be so blessed! As a part of my study this week, I have made it a staple to focus on the way that we better show our love and the idea in my head keeps coming to SMILING! I have seen so many people go from frowning to smiling after the simple gesture of sharing my joy.
As a cool activity this week we went to the town of Vordingborg and took some fun photos while doing some findnig up there. The best part of this experience is that it was the most successful day I have had in this new area. We were truly in the right place at the right time and made some good contacting. The work is slow, but it is happening. And, I'm grateful for the small and big miracles. I've enjoyed training and am learning so much as a district leader. Our district is small and I'm looking forward to a fun p-day activity we are planning for next week.
We had a very cool experience this week with one of our friends who moved out of their house due to a rat problem. We got to talk with them about the Book of Mormon and Heavenly Father. We gave them the invitation to read and helped them move their furniture and get some food from the depths of the infested house (luckily I didn't see any rats luckily). It was a combination of service and testifying. The best combo!
This has been a pretty normal, uneventful week. I feel that every week that goes by it just becomes more and more familiar with me and becomes easier to handle. I am just happy to be out here! Each week there is something to learn and someone to love. And, I get to testify of Jesus Christ which really does bring a smile to my face.
I am thankful for everyone's prayers and for your faithful support. Happy Thanksgiving my friends!
Love,
Elder Lines
