Hello everyone,
This week has been pretty amazing! We have said goodbye to two elders and welcomed in the beginning of a new transfer. One of the biggest highlights/lowlights for the week was definitely saying goodbye to the Elders. It was sad to see them leave but good to see them off to their news areas! We will be the only ones on the island until there comes a senior couple in October! We are happy to be where we are and look forward to keep on working.
First and foremost I will give a short introduction to my new companion! His name is Elder Webecke! We have been on the island for the same amount of time as his companion was the other Elder that was here when we first arrived! He grew up in Utah/California. He likes to play guitar and is quite talented. We look forward to serving together and getting to work here on this beautiful island.
Well, speaking of beauty, this week has been filled with it! We have seen probably the prettiest sunsets that have ever existed many of the evenings! The nature here on the island is just insane! With water surrounding you on all sides it gets out of control sometimes. We experienced that as we removed two massive bushes and 20 square feet of roots in the ground. All in all it was an adventure. More service!
This week we also had a really good Family Home Evening where one of our friends came! We had a lovely spiritual thought and ended by playing some spoons! We sadly will be missing two of the members as they will be going to the USA for a wedding for their daughter! Of course it's a good thing, but our numbers go down!!
This week the most spiritual thing that happened was weirdly enough the sunset! We had what I would call the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen (and that says a lot coming from blessed Albuquerque)! It was just God sent and as we sat and watched I just felt the love that God has for his children. I am so thankful for the world he created for us!
This week I will show some of that thankfulness by sharing 10 things that I love about Bornholm:
1. The nature
2. The weather
3. The ward
4. The vibe
5. The dialect
6. The branch
7. The Board Game Club
8. The fish
9. The history
10. The Pretty Church Buildings!
-This week through service projects where we removed bushes and chopped down trees I felt strong even though I was tired! I am thankful for the love of God!
-This week I visited a church where some of my ancestors were buried. Can't say that every day!
Danish word of the Week:
Compassion -
Medlidenhed - Pity/Compassion
Medfølelse - Compassion/ Sympathy
Thank you everyone for your support and for the time you take to read my emails! I am thankful for it all! I will see you all next week
Love,
Elder Lines
