Det sneede så meget!

 Hello everyone,

This week, as the title implies, has been snowy! We have had a lot of fun getting out in the snow and we've really cracked out the winter gear to prepare for the season! We have had a few snowball fights and overall have thoroughly enjoyed this week!

We have some strong potential learners and are excited to get some work done. One of the many miracles that came with the many doors knocked and people talked to was this one family that comes from Ethiopia! They were so kind!!! The first time we came to them we brought them a Book of Mormon in their own language. We could see the joy that they felt to have a gift. Their kids were kinda crazy but in the end we hope that they can continue to learn. It was fun to be able to give them something in their native language.

We also went on splits with the Elders from Rosekilde! We performed  some service with them by taking out thorn bushes with some weird tools. Overall it worked out great and we loved the chance to serve someone in our community! We also got to go up to Vordingborg also and had a great time teaching a lesson looking out over the harbor! The lesson went great and the person we taught was super happy to receive a copy of the Book of Mormon. We hope that she can read and learn about the gospel. 

As a finishing act for this week we had something called a "Pinseuge". That means that we did nothing but speak Danish to each other the entire week. Even during the hardest times I tried to remind myself the reasons that we were doing these challenges. In the end, it went super well and I feel like my skills in Danish increased so much because of the dedication we showed!

One day this week, we went out and I just felt the spirit guide me to the right places and even though it wasn't much it was a sign to me of the surety of His guidance! It wasn't monumental in missionary success, but it felt monumental to me to feel the promptings that come from the spirit. I know this is great work. Miracles come in all shapes and sizes. Additionally, our branch president talked with us about missions and his experiences serving. It really strengthened us. It's a small branch with a big spirit. I was particularly touched with my scripture studies in Jacob 2 about seeking the kingdom of God before riches and how that adds bounteous blessings to our lives. It's one of the hardest concepts to teach, but one of the easiest things to see and feel the blessings from. 

Well, that is all for this week everybody! I look forward to the opportunity to have fun in the next week and to serve more people! I'll see y'all next time!

Love to all of you,
