Hello everyone!
This week has been pretty good and as the title has stated we have done a lot of service! We are so thankful to be serving with the Foss's! They have been such a good help and we really are thankful for all the people that we have met.
This week we started off with a service appointment on Tuesday where we removed a bunch of leaves and then got "paid" in candy. It was a bunch of chocolate and soda! They tried to give us money but we never accept money. We have to accept something, though, or they get mad.
That same day we had two lessons that went well with appointments for us to return another time! We talked and taught about the restoration mostly and then a lot of about family ancestors! (We have talked a lot about that this week)
The next two days we had a total of 6 lessons and we had quite a lot of success in inviting people to come and to see! We have invited a bunch of our friends to come to church and even more to learn about the church's initiative for Light the World! We really known that this time of year needs to be focused on the true meaning of Christmas; Jesus Christ!
As another service project that we did on Thursday we remove some thorn bushes! I love removing thorn bushes because of the way in which you remove them! It is a weirdly spiritually growing experience! The most thorn bushes have roots that all go outwards creating a protective layer from their roots. This however can be bypassed by going right through and then cutting them from the bottom. This is applied often to sin as when we give it time to grow it gets harder to cut the roots! We all need to cut those branches and remove the roots eventually! HOWEVER, as we are removing these thorns we will get damaged as I did... That means that we will end up with cuts and sometimes scars that will last. The only way to have these remove is through some medical care or, spiritually, Jesus Christ! He can heal our wounds making them feel as if they were never there! I do love removing thorn bushes but I love relating it to the Gospel even more.
As the rest of the week went on we got to do a lot with the senior couple and even got lunch with them! We ate at this cafe that was once a prison! We also got some extremely good tasting (I am not exaggerating) smoked food. It is was so good. That same day we had a good lesson where we talked a lot about Christmas traditions and that in Denmark they have slowly moved away from Christian traditions over the years. The person that we talked about was kinda sad about that. Don't forget the true meaning of Christmas!
On Sunday we had one of our friends, Frèderìque come to church! She loved it and was so happy to have had some good conversations and to have felt the spirit! We look forward to continue in our teaching and inspire her to take the next steps!
Today we are in Copenhagen again and we are having an amazing time with the elders here! We went to some Christmas markets and then walked around on the streets to just talk! It can be nice to talk with some other missionaries sometimes.
Thank you guys for all the support and emails! I hope you have a Merry Christmas! Glædelig Jul!
Love,
Elder Lines
