Aalborg is elect!

Hello Everyone,

This week was just amazing and it is gonna end on a high note! We started it out with some fun activities and got to work hard.  

It was great to make some time to really do everything we could this week including service, a lot of finding, and even some really fun teaching! We had some fun trying to meet people street contacting. We met a man named Nicolay on the streets on Tuesday and he ended up coming to Church, with his girlfriend!!!! He liked that we had a choir and loved singing himself. We look forward to seeing him again and getting to know these people even more! 

We had multiple lessons with our friend William! He is just amazing and loves to learn. We hardly do any teaching nowadays because of how much he learns himself. He is thinking about baptism and is starting to understand the truths that stand out from the Church! It really can be amazing to see the dedication that he has to find an answer. I've learned so much from him. 

We also had a very successful game night on Wednesday where almost 12 people showed up! We played games and just had a blast. We played the game Secret Hitler which is like a mafia game and was a big hit as everybody loved it! We are so excited to learn more about the people and have even more fun with them while they learn. It has been an effective way to get to know people and also do some missionary work. 

This Sunday was also a very special day as it was our wards Easter Sunday. We had choir music which I was a part of (I did not sound good) and some very strong testimonies! Afterwards we went to a member's house where we talked about Easter and the meaning of it in their lives and in Denmark. We learned a lot and shared some good laughs with them. It ended up being a really wonderful Easter.

We are ending this week with something also pretty fun! It is my Birthday on a P day  (today, no joke, I really was born on April Fool's day) which is quite nice! I hope to be able to have some fun. We are gonna play some sports and eat some good food...actually using my birthday money from my grandparents to take my companion out for a yummy dinner....lots of meat. I am officially 20 years old!!!

This week I wanted to talk a bit about prayer. I have recently read through 3 Nephi and something  that stands out strongly is prayer. Christ prays so many times for us and commands us to pray always in His name. As a missionary, I have begun to see the importance of that principle in my daily life. I love my Savior and that prayer is our way of thanking Him and talking right to our Father in heaven. It really is a miracle we get to be in this world and still come back to His presence. 

I am so thankful for all the support that everyone gives. We are thankful for your prayers for the missionaries and I promise you that I know they work. 

Love,
