Aalborg!

Hello Everyone,

I am officially in Aalborg! I have moved areas and this week has been an adventure in getting here! Traveling took in total two days with some fun events along the way. Here are some of the highlights of my week.

We got to eat with the two families in my last area that are the best. They gave us some really good food and I gotta try some fun non-alcoholic beverages and play some scripture flashcard games in Danish! It was great and I will come to miss the people down there. I hope to see them again someday. It's hard saying see ya later!

This week has also been a good time for our friend! We have had quite a few lessons with newer people and were able to talk a lot about the principle of faith. We had some people that just wanted to share their beliefs and some people that actually wanted to learn about the Church. We also finally had a lesson with Lena, the sister who was at one point on date for baptism. We met and talked and she will still be getting baptized at a future point. We will keep meeting and planning a time where we can help her out! I am so thankful for the opportunity to teach people like her. She is really an amazing person.

As a part of transfers the event that happened along the way was a stake conference in Aarhus, my first area and the zone I'm back in! We got to see all the missionaries that live on Jylland and Fyn. There was a big lunch provided by the amazing senior couples and we were blessed to see all the people from Aarhus! It was so fun seeing all my friends from Aarhus. That was really meaningful to me. That was my first area and I really will always love those people.  I sure do love Jylland so far and am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this mission. My new companion is Elder Jespen from Pocatello, Idaho. He's really nice, fun and ready to work. 

Something this week that was spiritually special was being able to hear the spiritual thought of our branch president. He does such a good job at inviting the spirit and I love hearing him speak. He just thanked us for our work and said that when we work hard the Lord recognizes it and gives line upon line. We have seen a lot more success since the opening of the area and we have loved every minute of it!!  Now my old area will have 4 elders. We started with two, then 3 and now 4!!! Great work is ahead for them. 

Well everyone, I am again thankful for all of your prayers! I hope that everyone's week goes well and that you can find comfort in your thoughts this week! 

Vi ses! 

Love,
