Hello Everyone,
This week we have had a great time and been able to do quite a lot both in our area and in other areas! We had splits on Thursday and were not in our area much on Tuesday or Wednesday. We had a fun time getting to be in other places but missed home a bit by the end. We love our little town. Here are some of the fun experiences from the week:
We went on splits up in Slagelse which is the area above ours. That was really fun and we played Ticket to Ride North Lights...a fun variation! Most importantly, It was an amazing time with missionary work as we got to see some miracles as we were out searching. Some people were perfectly placed for us to talk to. I am still amazed at how even in finding we still find miracles...even though we do it a lot!
After splits, we came back to our area to enjoy our time finding and having lessons. We had some good times and have planned some good lessons for next week. On Sunday ,however, we had to drive to Copenahgen in order to see Elder Christofferson the next day! That meant a lot of driving and listening to some bomb talks. We got to sleep with the APs and it was fun cause there were 7 elders in one apartment. Always have a good time with that many elders.
The next day was the most important because we got to go to the meeting with Elder Christofferson. We shook his hand and lined up for a big group picture! Afterwards, we were able to hear him share his thoughts with us and he blessed us with two things. He said that we are perfectly placed and that if we follow the leaders of the Church we will be guided to do what is right! He said that we can receive the power of the Atonement of Christ by remembering to repent daily. He said that just because we served a mission doesn't mean that it will automatically bless us with a perfect life! Enduring often means finding joy in the moment even when the times are hard. A great message for the missionaries that work in this mission. There was a very powerful spirit and I felt so blessed to be taught by him. I will never forget this experience.
After, we had the opportunity to go inside the temple and sit in the different rooms and just think.They literally opened the temple just for us. We didn't do any temple work, but were able to wander around all the rooms, sit and do some really deep pondering. I realized that the temple is the best place in the entire world and that we can really come closer to God than any other place. I love the time that we had with Elder C and I am thankful for the peaceful meditation that we had in the temple. There really is nothing more calming than being in the house of the Lord. It was the perfect way to end our day. Plus, the temple is soooo beautiful.
Well everyone, it has been an amazing week! I am very thankful for all the opportunities and for all the lessons. I am thankful for your prayers and I hope that you have a good week!
Love to all of you,
Elder Lines
