Et nytår og Mormons Bog

Hello Everyone,

This week has been amazing and I am really thankful that I get to be here in the year of 2024 to do the Lord's work. 

This last week we have been trying to do more missionary work. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were spent doing the most normal missionary work and just planning for some future activities like service and possibly a fun board game night with the branch we are in! Much of the community was still in holiday mode so it's been slowish. Thursday was a bit of a bigger day as we went to Vordingborg to follow up with some people we have talked with before and also do some street contacting in the city. That was also the day we did our weekly planning and really put a lot of useful and important information into our area book! The work goes on in that sense and it has been super fun to get to see some big changes in those we meet with!

Friday and Saturday were absolutely amazing as we had a lot of lessons planned and got to go through with a lot of them! Meaning, there were no cancellations. We taught some members that had been inactive and did some good service to some potential friends! All in all those days were great and a good reminder that we are put in the right place at the right time as we found somebody on our way back from finding one night. We asked some questions and after some time we invited her to church and to read a Book of Mormon in Ukrainian! It was an insane experience and just really gave us a boost in our work!

Sunday was fast Sunday, and the finding that day was short, the lesson we had didn't happen but we did get to go to an eating appointment with some members and talked about the Book of Mormon reading as part of Come Follow Me! 

Today we have been able to go to Copenhagen and have some fun in the busy city! The weather has been cold, snowy and rainy so often it is freezing but through the power of layers we have been able to stay warm! We rode the subway and visited the city center, and I bought a new, very waterproof backpack since my original one wasn't as good. It's the little things!

The Book of Mormon has been a focus of my mission. I've loved reading this book. My testimony has increased as I know that Christ loves all of us enough....and like we read in 3rd Nephi, He loves all the people of the world. His appearance to the people of the Book of Mormon is really powerful. In this new year, we have the opportunity to read the Book of Mormon and to go deeper than we ever have before. I hope that we all take the opportunity to search for Christ in all the verses we read as I know that as we do that, our lives will change. 

Thank you everyone for your prayers! Prayer this week has been strong for us as we pray everyday that our friends will feel the same spirit that we do, in their own unique way. We get to see some miracles when we honestly and sincerely pray to our Heavenly Father! I am thankful for that truth that has been prevalent in my time on my mission thus far. I'm looking forward to zone conference this week in Copenhagen. 

Love,
