Zone Konference and some helpful tips!

Hello everyone, 

This week I had the opportunity to go to Copenhagen and participate in Mission Konference. I will tell more about it later and what I learned but let us begin with the beginning! 

This week started out very well with some very positive things! We had an amazing lesson with our friend Klaus and had the opportunity to teach him about Prophets in relation to President Nelsons 100th birthday! We taught and the entire time we could feel that he was very understanding and actually loved what having a prophet meant and the character that he stands for! We will have another lesson tomorrow and we hope things will continue to go well! 

After that on Wednesday we took the bus for 4 hours to Copenhagen where we met the ZLs and went to the temple. It was amazing and we loved the opportunity to eat with all the Elders at a Sushi place that was ALL YOU CAN EAT! We ate way too much and slept well that night in preparation for the Mission Konference!

I would also like to share about the temple as this week it was definetely the highlight! It really is so uplifting to be as close to God as possible and be able to just hear his voice as we ponder! My invitation to everyone would be to go to the temple as often as you can and ponder what you can do to help or be more effective in your life! God wants the best for us! 

The next day was indeed Thursday, though, which meant we needed to wake and take a bus over to the Stake Center where we took pictures with Elder Whiting as he walked in! We then sat down and discussed 3 important topics for around 4 to 5 hours with lunch in the middle! We had time to ask him questions and were really inspired to apply more things to our missionary work! 

The three things he told us to focus on is "Minding the Minutes", removing generalized statements from our speech (in the form of vague promises and stories), and last but not least, inviting people to come to church and unto Christ! We learned some great tips and had the chance to learn how we can work more efficiently and preserve Spiritual Momentum that President Nelson talked about! It was very inspiring! 

After that we had the fun opportunity to hold splits! We went to Slagelse and had some of the Best Kebab I have ever eaten! It was very fun to be with the Elders for the only splits we will have this transfer! I was with Elder Erhental who comes from Germany! He is such a cool missionary and actually a convert to the Church. He has a strong testimony and we ended up enjoying the time that we had together!

After we arrived back on Bornholm we ended up having a great time just doing what we could with the time we had! Sunday went well but only 5 members came to Church so we ended up skipping the second hour!

All in all, the week has been uplifting and has taught me a lot! I look forward to working this next week! Thank you everyone for your prayers and I will see yall next week! 

Love, Elder Lines
