Hello everyone!
Another great week. Each day had good things and I'm really happy here in Denmark.
We journeyed over to the mainland to Copenhagen to enjoy a zone p-day and a fabulous zone conference. It is such a blessing to see old missionary buddies and new ones too. Our new mission leaders are really kind and it's been good to get to know them. I miss my old ones and enjoy getting to know new ones. It's how life goes. All are inspired and I am learning a lot. I'm grateful to them and enjoy learning from them. So. Much. To. Learn.
Zone Conference is always a great time. We talked about how we can better apply the resources we are given to our missionary work! We had some good discussions and some of the best things we learned were: read through the resources, apply what they say, practice and ponder, and finally review when you feel something needs to change! These resources are really given to us as the way we should work and teach! They are very inspired! And, I plan on applying them to my work.
After Conference we got to go to the temple. I love the Copenhagen temple. I'm so grateful we get to attend it from time to time. We reflected on everything that we had learned and just took the time to think. If you know me, you know I'm not super quiet in general. But, having time to sit in the temple quietly is something I look forward to. I have come forward from our zone conference week with the strength to overcome the challenges I face! Let's go!!!!
The journey home from Zone Conference was fun. We woke up early (5am) for the fourth day in a row and drove through Sweden to the ferry where we then took it to the island. It is a long trip but it was very nice to get back. That same day we had a Family Home Evening and had some friends come and we sung some songs while just hanging out! Honestly a very positive experience to just hangout with some Danes and sing some songs. Bornholm is a special place.
Other random things we did: service projects, edited a cool video about rubiks cubes (for a purpose), talked to so many people!!!!
My dad asks me for a Danish word of the week. I keep a pretty lengthy list of new vocabulary words and teach him one that is funny or especially hard to pronounce. This week, the word was: Tandkirug. It means dental surgeon and I knew he'd especially appreciate it.
The miracle of the week was having two friends come to church!!!! Our branch is so small so having two people come is just amazing. I spoke and felt filled with the spirit. It was wonderful to be together worshipping.
This week was filled with good energy and some positive people! We love the work and keep moving forward!
Thank you everyone for your prayers! i look forward to writing again! Here are some pictures of Bornholm and of us in our different activities!
Love, Elder Lines
